Middleton, Conyers, 1683-1750. An examination of the Ld. Bishop of London's discourses concerning the use & intent of prophecy : with some cursory animadversions on his late appendix or additional dissertation containing a farther inquiry into the Mosaic account of the fall, [1750].

Title: An examination of the Ld. Bishop of London's discourses concerning the use & intent of prophecy : with some cursory animadversions on his late appendix or additional dissertation containing a farther inquiry into the Mosaic account of the fall, [1750].

Autograph manuscript on Thomas Sherlock, bp. of London (1678-1761), attacking Sherlock's "The Use & Intent of Prophecy" and his answer to the freethinker Anthony Collins. Middleton criticizes Sherlock's attempts to connect Old Testament prophecies systematically to the Gospels as a "fanciful conceit," and insists that the Mosaic account of the Fall "should be considered as a moral fable," and that "the historical sense cannot be defended." Likewise, Middleton writes that "the oracles of the heathen world, which His Ldship. declares to have been given out by the Devil, in the form of a serpt., were all impostures, wholly managed by human craft, withoutany supernatural aid, or interposition wtsoever."
