Five Discourses by the Author of The Snake in the Grass is a compilation by Charles Leslie, a leading Jacobite and critic of religious dissent. This collection includes discourses on key theological topics water-baptism, the authority of episcopacy, critiques of Quaker beliefs, and reflections on the "Socinian Trinity" a doctrine he opposed. Known for his polemical style, Leslie sought to defend traditional Anglican doctrines against what he saw as heretical deviations. The preface offers an overview of his positions, setting a combative tone against Quakerism and Socinianism, further reflecting Leslie's dedication to Anglican orthodoxy and his role in theological controversies of his time.
