Works
[edit]The works section is badly in need of a clean-up. It seems to me that it is dump of anything that could be found on the Internet Archive (including multiple editions of the same work) rather than a proper bibliography. -- PBS (talk) 15:14, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- The DNB list of William Bates works are
His works issued 'occasionally' were first collected into a folio in 1700; the modern edition is in 4 vols. 8vo. They all treat theology practically. The chief of them are:
- 'Harmony of the Divine Attributes' (1697).
- 'Considerations on the Existence of God and Immortality of the Soul' (1676).
- 'Four Last Things–Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell' (1691).
- 'Spiritual Perfection' (1699).
- 'Vitæ Selectorum aliquot Virorum' (London, 1681).
As a preacher he was held to be the 'politest' of all the nonconformists. John Howe's funeral sermon to Bates's memory, printed with Bates's works, remains his most durable monument.
