Item description from seller

Octavo. 87, [1] pp. First edition. Removed from volume. Toning and soiling to the title page and final leaf; six-digit number rubber-stamped on the title page. Minor toning throughout else a clean copy. Asgill, expelled from the Irish House of Commons for the questionable state of his finances and then from the English House for having published his claim that true believers in Christ will be translated wholly into Heaven rather than experiencing bodily death, here expounds on his rapturous religious tenets while affirming his belief in the Scriptures and denying any wrongdoing?especially in the pesky land speculation matters.

This example is apparently a variant state of the first edition of 1712 (ESTC does not distinguish between variants, grouping all entries under one listing), with p. 61, line 8 ending "of the Romish Persuasion." Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. ESTC T41498.…
