""A Treatise Concerning the State of Departed Souls, Before and At, and After the Resurrection"" is a religious text written by Thomas Burnet. The book delves into the concept of the afterlife and explores the state of souls after death, before and after the resurrection.

Burnet uses a combination of scripture, philosophy, and personal reflection to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the afterlife. The text is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and lay readers interested in exploring the topic of the afterlife from a religious perspective.1739. When Mr. Dennis found this treatise it had been done by another hand, with notes, in which the ashes of the venerable author were poorly and meanly insulted by low and vile buffoonery, becoming neither the gravity of a clergyman, nor the faith of a Christian, nor the justness and spirit of a polite writer, nor the honor and humanity of a gentleman. Mr. Dennis was provoked to translate this treatise anew, that he might have an opportunity by this translation to do justice to the merit of the excellent author.
