This book's frontispiece depicts a man falling from a rock into the sea, but being caught by a hand extended from the heavens. Its author wishes that humanity could "procreate like trees" instead of having sex, and claims "men that look upon my outside...do err in my altitude, for I am above Atlas his shoulders." This book declares "though there be but one world to sense, there are two to reason; the one visible, the other invisible," though its author dismisses rational objections to miracles by agreeing with Tertullian's statement "it is certain because it is impossible." Divided into two sections, the first discussing faith and hope, and the second discussing Christian charity, it inspired a number of responses with similar titles, including a 1682 poem defending Anglicanism by (*) John Dryden. It was first published in 1643 by an author who went on to write the essay "Urn Burial." For 10 points, name this book with a Latin title in which Sir Thomas Browne outlines his spiritual beliefs.
