Synopsis

A Second Letter To The Reverend Dr. Clarke, Rector Of St. James's, Westminster is a significant 1715 religious polemic that serves as a detailed response to Dr. Clarke's Closing Reply to Mr. Nelson, addressing the broader dispute over the Trinity and divine self-existence. In this work, Edward Wells presents a “Second Letter” to Clarke, arguing that Clarke’s prior defenses and quotations are flawed. He contends that the true interpretation of challenging Scriptural passages should be informed by the earliest Fathers and Catholic tradition. The text features extensive quotations, critiques of misquotations (notably from Bishop Bull’s Life and Nelson’s writings), and a Postscript that defends the Catholic doctrinal view of the Trinity and the nature of God against Clarke’s positions. Originally published in London in 1715, this edition presents the work in a modern format, highlighting its importance as an early-18th-century theological discourse.
