With a further discourse about the doctrine of election, universal, and special grace, &c. All which were touched in the said Confession of faith, but in this more plainy and fully (though briefly) discoursed and designed for the good of all. Whereunto is annexed a seasonable word of advice, being an essay for peace and union among all the sons and daughters of peace. / Written by Thomas Collier.

that_o none_o of_o we_o all_o be_v so_o far_o remove_v as_o to_o boast_v or_o be_v over-conceited_n with_o our_o own_o attainment_n but_o much_o of_o darkness_n yet_o remain_v and_o a_o full_a

so_o we_o may_v judge_v ourselves_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o high_a in_o judge_v one_o another_o and_o withal_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o

remember_v as_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o babylonish-darkness_n and_o confusion_n that_o be_v yet_o upon_o we_o that_o if_o you_o will_v not_o have_v fellowship_n with_o your_o brethren_n but_o on_o term_n of_o unity_n in_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v that_o which_o must_v necessary_o tend_v to_o break_v all_o church-communion_n in_o the_o world_n for_o so_o great_a be_v the_o differing-understanding_n of_o christian_n about_o divine-thing_n and_o that_o too_o in_o some_o thing_n of_o weighty_a concernment_n that_o i_o very_o think_v there_o be_v not_o two_o in_o the_o world_n of_o one_o mind_n in_o all_o thing_n by_o all_o which_o we_o may_v understand_v how_o far_o we_o be_v from_o babylon_n and_o shall_v tend_v to_o humble_v we_o and_o sure_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v ignorance_n and_o pride_n where_o be_v not_o a_o sense_n in_o this_o matter_n 3_o the_o unity_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v that_o which_o tend_v much_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o

all_o that_o love_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o truth_n study_v to_o find_v out_o a_o way_n for_o more_o union_n and_o peace_n 4thly_a love_n and_o peace_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v a_o

4._o 1_o 2_o 3._o 1_o joh._n 2._o 9_o 10_o 11._o 6thly_a the_o division_n of_o the_o godly_a very_o probable_o tend_v to_o hinder_v the_o conversion_n of_o poor_a sinner_n be_v it_o not_o the_o common_a language_n of_o many_o there_o be_v so_o many_o religion_n and_o church_n that_o i_o know_v not_o which_o be_v true_a or_o where_o there_o be_v any_o true_a at_o all_o and_o thus_o be_v

contention_n ordinary_o come_v from_o pride_n and_o border_n on_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n who_o be_v that_o envious_a one_o who_o sow_v tare_n among_o the_o wheat_n and_o will_v never_o cease_v sow_v discord_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o world_n till_o he_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o the_o bottomless-pit_n 8thly_a consider_v that_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n who_o command_v peace_n and_o give_v peace_n and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v sow_o in_o peace_n of_o they_o that_o love_v peace_n and_o his_o church_n be_v or_o shall_v be_v his_o kingdom_n of_o peace_n and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o peace_n you_o be_v none_o of_o he_o so_o that_o if_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o you_o it_o will_v operate_v in_o those_o divine_a virtue_n of_o love_n and_o peace_n 9thly_a the_o present_a rebuke_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o people_n plain_o discover_v that_o he_o be_v displease_v with_o they_o &_o we_o have_v ground_n to_o judge_n that_o among_o the_o many_o provocation_n of_o his_o people_n this_o be_v not_o the_o least_o the_o division_n of_o his_o heritage_n his_o dispensation_n as_o well_o as_o his_o word_n call_v aloud_o to_o we_o in_o this_o matter_n o_o let_v we_o not_o be_v like_o the_o deafadder_n to_o stop_v our_o ear_n at_o so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a call_v to_o peace_n and_o unity_n let_v we_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o endeavour_v after_o it_o o_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n they_o shall_v prosper_v who_o love_n the_o peace_n thereof_o let_v there_o be_v great_a search_v of_o heart_n in_o this_o matter_n let_v we_o pray_v and_o argue_v out_o this_o foul_a spirit_n of_o division_n let_v we_o say_v as_o the_o prophet_n psal_n 137._o 5_o 6._o if_o i_o forget_v thou_o o_o jerusalem_n let_v my_o right-hand_n forget_v her_o cunning_a if_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v thou_o let_v my_o tongue_n cleave_v to_o the_o roof_n of_o my_o mouth_n if_o i_o prefer_v not_o jerusalem_n above_o my_o chief_a joy_n let_v we_o prefer_v the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o church_n
