A review of the state of the antediluvian world [electronic resource] : wherein is set forth I. The inconsistency of the imagination of Præ-Adamites. II. From the concise Account that Moses gives us of the Posterity of Adam and Eve, we may easily conclude, that there were Multitudes of their Posterity on the Earth when Cain slew Abel. III. From his succeeding Accounts may be observed that the World was pretty well Peopled even in the Days of Adam. IV. How decay'd Religion was revived by Seth. V. That it was continued in the Patriarchs in the Line to Noah. VI. How the Degeneracy from Religion spread, and of the Antediluvian Giants, and of the Sons of God marrying the Daughters of Men, &c. Vii. The goodness of God in putting a Stop, by an universal Deluge, to those monstrous Violences that universal Wickednesses had occasioned. To which is added, a short discourse upon the preaching of Christ to the spirits in prison, which were sometimes disobedient in the Days of Noah, &c. The Preface, containing Directions how the Historical Parts of the Scriptures ought to be looked upon; and that that Part of the Scriptures, which contains Laws and Precepts, has not been so capable of Corruptions by Transcribers, and how to judge of Corruptions by Commentators, &c. All which being carefully observed, will make the Sacred Writings appear in their truest Lustre.
