Ben Bennet used to spend sixty hours a week in his study, and days were consecrated to intercessory prayer and fasting.
His Irenicum, or a Review of some late controversies about the Trinity, Private Judgment ... and the Rights of Conscience from the Misrepresentations of the Dean of Winchester [Francis Hare] in his "Scripture vindicated from the Misrepresentations of the Lord Bishop of Bangor" (1722), is measured in its tone; but it was attacked by John Atkinson of Stainton, an ultra-orthodox nonconformist.
In 1714, on the death of Queen Anne and the accession of King George I, Bennet published some sermons under the title Several Discourses Against Popery, in view of the dangers of a restoration of the Catholic House of Stuart.
Bennet's manuscripts yielded a number of posthumous publications, among them: a second part of his Christian's Oratory (1728); Truth, Importance, and Usefulness of Scripture (1730); View of the whole System of Popery (1781).
A second, updated edition (dedicated to Lord Barrington) appeared in 1721 covering further episodes in English history such as the Civil War.
