'The best known of his apologetical works was the Short Method with the Deists (1694), which.became a classic theological resigns to deism and continued to be reprinted well into the nineteenth century' (DNB). It defended Trinitarian orthodoxy, the principle of satisfaction and the historicity of the biblical miracles. The second part on The Jews (dated 1689) reiterates the arguments for the Christian Gospels fulfilling the Jewish law but also draws parallels between the Jews and the reformed protestant religions which rejected episcopacy. Although published anonymously, these two works are known to have been written by Charles Leslie (1650-1722), a nonjuring Church of Ireland clergyman, who later resided in England. In spite of his opposition to Roman Catholicism, he became a strong Jacobite and tory supporter after the Revolution of 1688-89, spending several periods in exile abroad and serving as protestant chaplain to the exiled Stuart court in France and Italy. He was a prolific writer on political and theological subjects. This combination of the two editions is scarce and ESTC records copies in only two UK libraries, Worcester College, Oxford and the Brotherton, Leeds.
