Newton's Messiah Vol. 1 and 2.
Sermons, as to the substance (for most of them are
considerably abridged) were preached at a public and numerous assembly.
And, therefore, an accurate and logical discussion of the several

this, not to be greatly affected, either by their approbation, or by
their censure.
