Handwritten figures in table with accompanying caption which refers to "mistakes in Mr Bentlys [sic] sermons about the order and contrivance of the universe". Robert Boyle instituted a series of lectures through his will, with the intention of providing a forum for prominent academics to confute atheism. The lectures were inaugurated in 1692 by the scholar Richard Bentley who attempted to use the methods and conclusions of natural science to prove the dictates of Christian faith.
