Passage in Whiston.—In Taylor on Original Sin, Lond. 1746, p. 94., it is said:
"Mr. Whiston maintains that regeneration is a literal and physical being born again, and is granted to the faithful at the beginning of the millennium."
The marginal reference is, Whiston on Original Sin, &c., p. 68.
I cannot find the book or the doctrine in any collection of Whiston's writings which I have met with; but as he was a copious writer and a versatile theologian, both may exist. Can any reader of "N. & Q." tell me where to find them?
