PHILALETHES CESTRIENSIS--STEPHENS' SERMONS.
I shall feel much obliged if any of your correspondents can inform me
what is the real name of the author of the following work:
"An Impartial enquiry into the true character of that Faith,
which is required in the Gospel, as necessary to salvation;
in which it is briefly shewn, upon how righteous terms
unbelievers may become true Christians, &c., by Philalethes
Cestriensis. 8'o. Lond. 1746. Dedicated to Philip earl of
Chesterfield, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland."
In your 6th Number is an inquiry for a "tract or sermon" by the Rev.
W. Stephens, which elicited a reply in No. 8. from "Mr. Denton," who
mentions four sermons by that author and inquires whether any other
sermons or tracts of his were published, which are not included in the
two posthumous volumes?
Now it has struck me that a volume of sermons in my possession may,
from the nature of the subjects, be Stephens's, but whether included
in the volume alluded to I know not.
