Dr. Eachard's Works is a book written by John Eachard and first published in 1705. It is a collection of various works by the author, ranging from political essays to satirical pieces. The book is divided into three main parts: The Grounds and Occasions of the Contempt of the Clergy and Religion, Some Remarks upon the Ecclesiastical History of the Ancient Churches of Piedmont, and The History of the Fanatics. In the first part, Eachard discusses the reasons why the clergy and religion were held in contempt during his time. He argues that the clergy had become too focused on worldly matters and had lost sight of their spiritual duties. He also criticizes the religious practices of the time, such as the use of Latin in church services, which he believes alienates the common people. The second part of the book is a commentary on the history of the churches in Piedmont, a region in Italy known for its Protestant population. Eachard provides a detailed history of the region and its religious struggles, as well as his own opinions on the matter. The final part of the book, The History of the Fanatics, is a satirical piece that pokes fun at various religious groups and their beliefs. Eachard uses humor and wit to criticize the extreme views of these groups and their often absurd practices. Overall, Dr. Eachard's Works is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that offers insight into the religious and political climate of the early 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
