Gentiles. This Author (now a Fellow of the _Royal Society_) delivers his Matter in two Books. Lib. 1. Cap. 1. Atheists are disappointed of the Authority of _Epicurus_, and of other Antient Philosophers, for their gross Atheisme. Cap. 2. The beautiful Frame of the World evinceth the Architectonical Author and Governor. Cap. 3. The admirable Contrivance in the Structure of Mankind, and of Animals, does more conspicuously shew the Deity. Cap. 4. The Atheist caught in his own Net, or convinced by the true force of his own Arguments. Cap. 5. The Arguments devised against Atheists by _Des Cartes_, and drawn from the _Idea's_ of our Mind, examin'd and found imperfect and invalid. Lib. 2. Cap. 1. The opinions of the Gentiles concerning God, unduly applied to the _Deity_, which we worship: but properly to be understood by them of the _Sun_, or of the _Soul of the World_. Cap. 2. More expresly proved, that the Antient Philosophers conceived, the _Soul of the World_ to be God. Cap. 3. The Historical Theology of the Gentiles for the most part is unduly applyed or accommodated to the Holy Scriptures. Cap. 4. The Divine Substance, Immensity, Incomprehensibility, Invisibility, explicated, as far as our weak reason does teach. Cap. 5. The Divine Perfections, and other Attributes and Affections, how far explicable. Cap. 6. The Eternity of God, how apprehended. These are in short the Heads of the Book, which is yet but in Latin. It were to be wisht, the Author would make it speak his own lively _English_. II. HONORATI FABRI _Soc. Jesu Theologi, Tractatus duo; quorum Prior est de Plantis & de Generatione Animalium; Posterior de Homine._ As the Matter of this Book is considerable, so is the order and dependence of all its parts excellent; in regard that all the Propositions are ranged according to a Geometrical method, and so well disposed, that the latter do always suppose the former, and seem to depend all of them upon certain evident principles, whence they flow by a natural consequence. This _Volume_ contains two Treatises. The _First_ is divided into 5. Books. In the _four first_, he treats of _Plants_, and distributes them into three _Classes_; some growing _in the Earth_, as _Trees_; others, growing upon _Plants_, as _Mosse_; and a third sort growing upon _Animals_, as _Hair_, _Horns_, and _Feathers_. He examins and considers the {326} Parts of all these Plants and their Use, the manner, how
