A new theory of the earth, from its original, to the consummation of all things. Wherein the creation of the world in six days, the universal deluge, and the general conflagration, as laid down in the Holy Scriptures, are shewn to be perfectly agreeable to reason and philosophy. With a large introductory discourse concerning the genuine nature, stile, and extent of the Mosaick history of the creation. By William Whiston, M.A. chaplain to the Right Reverend Father in God, John Lord Bishop of Norwich, and Fellow of Clare-Hall in Cambridge.
