The Analogy of Religion to the Constitution and Course of Nature / To which are added two brief dissertations: I. On personal identity. II. On the nature of virtue.

The author presents a sustained apologetic arguing that the regularities and moral structure observable in nature lend credibility to belief in a moral divine government, future retribution, and the plausibility of supernatural revelation. Part I examines natural religion—probation, rewards and punishments, moral government, and human responsibility—while Part II addresses revealed religion, considering miracles, the form and scope of revelation, Christian doctrines like mediation and redemption, and objections to arguing by analogy. Two appended dissertations analyze personal identity and the nature of virtue. The work combines philosophical reasoning with theological argument to defend religious belief by analogy.
