  • Ashton, Thomas. A dissertation on II Peter I. 19. In which is shewn, I. That the interpretation of this passage, in the Apostle, as it is propos'd by the author of The grounds and reasons of the Christian religion, is not, probably, the sense of the author, because it does not fall in naturally, with the Course of his Argument to make any Comparison between Miracles and Prophecy; nor is the State of the, suppos'd, Comparison natural. II. That it cannot, possibly, express the Mind of the Author, because it includes Assertions which are false in fact, and, absolutely, contradictory to the positive Declarations of Christ himself. III. That the most remarkable Interpretations, which are manifestly intended to remove these Difficulties, are liable to the same, or other Difficulties. IV. That there is a Construction of the Place, which is natural, easy, and obvious; consistent with the Argument of the Apostle, with the Truth of Things, and with the whole Tenor of the Gospel. Nullius addictus jurare in Verba Magis. London: printed for J. and R. Tonson and S. Draper in the Strand, MDCCL. [1750]. ESTC No. N6700. Grub Street ID 48632.
  • Ashton, Thomas. Some observations on a book intitled An essay, &c. In the course of which the Lord Bishop of London's comparison of the more sure word of prophecy, &c. is defended against the objections made to it by the Reverend Messieurs Ashton and Cooke, Fellows of Eton-College; and their several solutions examin'd. In a letter to a country-schoolmaster. Part the first. In which is shewn, I. That the three Particulars to which this Author has objected in Mr. Ashton's Interpretation, are not peculiar to Mr. Ashton's, but common to the Bishop of London's with Mr. Ashton's. II. That the Opinions which he declares for and against are equally both, and each sufficiently, defensible in those three respects, notwithstanding the Force of the Objections which he so dextrously levell'd at one, but which, unfortunately, fell foul on the other. III. That the Impropriety of a Comparison, in any view, between Miracle and Prophecy, in this Instance, is made more apparent by this Author's manner of endeavouring to evad. London: printed for J. Roberts in Warwick-Lane, 1752. ESTC No. T174883. Grub Street ID 211955.
