In a discourse on the pretended conflagration of the world, by the comet which is to appear in the year 1758. Wherein the ridiculous Fears of the superstitious Part of Mankind are clearly exposed; and a plain Demonstration that the Restoration of the Jews, and Call of the Gentiles, will be completed before the World is destroyed. The Whole supported by unanswerable Proofs, that the before-mentioned Comet will not hurt or damage the Earth
