A decad of caveats to the people of England, : of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these. As having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government, as it is by law establish'd. An aptitude to the setling the minds of such as are but seekers and erraticks in religion. An aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state. Whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be made the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them. To which is added an appendix in order to the conviction of those three enemies to the Diety: the atheist, the infidel, and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion. /
