Synopsis

Scripture-Evidence Consider'D: In A View Of The Controvercy betwixt The AUTHOR and Mr. Barclay’s Defenders, Viz. Mr. Beaven And Dr. Morgan; In A Fourth Letter To A Friend. To Which Are Added, Two Tracts,. By Tho. Chubb. Thomas Chubb's polemical work compiles letters and tracts debating Barclay's Quaker theology, Beaven's and Morgan's defenses, and the role of grace in human action. It argues for Man's natural liberty and moral agency, contending that humans possess inherent capacities to do good and evil without mandatory supernatural influence. The pieces critique Morgan's and Beaven's positions on the Fall, moral agency, and the limits of divine interposition, while defending the Bible as a rule of truth contingent on its accord with nature and rational scrutiny. Also included are two shorter discourses on virtue and happiness, emphasizing benevolence, self-interest, and a balanced path to a happy life. The volume reflects early Enlightenment religious polemics and a call for civil, charitable debate between believers and unbelievers.
