[Mawer, John]
Letters in Answer to Some Queries Sent to the Author, concerning the genuine Reading of the Greek Text, I Tim. iii. 16. York: Printed by C. Ward, in Coney-Street, 1758. 8vo, unbound pamphlet; pp. 42, [2 (advert, verso blank)].
This work was produced in response to the publication of two letters of Sir Isaac Newton to Mr. Le Clerc. Newton was involved in the debate about the Truth of the Trinity versus Arian beliefs. Newton believed that certain critical Biblical verses were corrupted, and as such, cast doubt on the authenticity of the Trinity. Newton refused to ever directly and publicly assault the foundation of the Church, and as such his views were more commonly revealed in the answers of his opposite numbers such as Mawer.
