Fulton 191; Wing B3931, B4019, B3983. FIRST EDITIONS, first issues, without half-title and with uncancelled title-page mentioning "John Wyat" in the imprint. "This tract has certain human interest since in the Preface to Part I, and also in the text itself, Boyle discusses the reasons why as a professed scientist he has devoted so much attention to religion, or between reason and dogmatic faith - and he wishes to state his conviction (Fulton, p.130). The second part of The Christian virtuoso was not published until 1744. "Reflections upon a theological distinction" (Wing B4019) and "Greatness of mind, promoted by Christianity" (Wing B3983) each have separate dated title page, pagination, and register. Neither were separately published.
