To which is added, The state of Souls separated from their Bodies: Being an Epistolary Treatise, wherein is proved, by a Variety of Arguments, deduced from Holy Scripture, that the Punishments of the Wicked will not be Eternal; and all Objections against it solved. In Answer to a Treatise, entitled, An Enquiry into Origenism. Together with A Large Introduction, evincing the same Truth from the Principles of Natural Religion. Translated from the French.
