They were published as four separate and distinct works, in large quarto, and in the Latin language. The Doctrine concerning the Lord, and the Doctrine con concerning the Holy Scripture, were first translated into English by Mr. Peter Provo, an apothecary in London, and were published by the London Theosophical Society in the years 1784 and 1786 respectively, the printer being Mr. Robert Hindmarsh. The Doctrine of Life was first translated into English by Mr. William Cookworthy, of Plymouth, England, and was published in that city in the year 1770. The second English edition, translated by the Eev. John Clowes, Eector of St. Johns, Manchester, England, was published at the expense of the Manchester Printing Society, in London, in the year 1786. The Doctrine concerning Faith was first translated into English by the Eev. William Cowherd, also of Manchester, England, and was published in the year 1790, by the Man chester Printing Society.
