This volume presents two controversial dissertations by Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Salisbury, exploring contentious social and religious issues of the late 17th century. The first, 'A Defence Of Polygamy,' delves into the historical and theological arguments surrounding the practice of polygamy, examining its presence in various cultures and religious texts. Burnet offers a nuanced perspective, challenging conventional views of marriage and societal norms. The second dissertation, 'The Lawfulness Of Divorce,' tackles the complex legal and moral questions surrounding divorce. Burnet scrutinizes the grounds for divorce and its implications for individuals and society. This treatise offers valuable insights into the historical context of marriage and divorce laws, reflecting the debates and challenges of the period. Included with other curious tracts, this collection provides a rare glimpse into the intellectual landscape of 17th-century England.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
