In England, this essay, though it expressed views generally accepted by every Protestant, was regarded and treated as a plea for Deism, and made a great sensation. It elicited a number of responses, including those from William Whiston, Bishop Hare, and Bishop Benjamin Hoadly. Richard Bentley, under the signature of "Phileleutherus Lipsiensis," attacked certain arguments carelessly expressed by Collins, chiefly criticizing trivial points of scholarship; the arguments in his own pamphlet contained similar flaws. Jonathan Swift, being satirically referred to in the book, made it the subject of a caricature."
