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.

intend_v the_o baptism_n of_o gift_n as_o one_o which_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v no_o man_n on_o earth_n have_v so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o baptism_n among_o these_o beginning-thing_n

moral_a but_o that_o which_o i_o intend_v be_v in_o two_o thing_n which_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n 1._o if_o moral_a it_o must_v be_v so_o as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n viz._n that_o which_o man_n by_o nature_n with_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n without_o any_o other_o revelation_n or_o institution_n may_v attain_v unto_o man_n by_o nature_n with_o those_o help_n might_n and_o do_v come_v to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n rom._n 1._o 19_o 20_o 21._o and_o so_o by_o the_o same_o light_n and_o law_n may_v know_v that_o this_o god_n must_v be_v worship_v &_o that_o there_o must_v be_v time_n for_o that_o worship_n but_o that_o this_o time_n must_v be_v the_o seventh-day_n be_v not_o write_v in_o nature_n book_n and_o therefore_o in_o this_o sense_n not_o moral_a and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o teach_v the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n not_o only_a reason_n tell_v we_o it_o can_v not_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a it_o do_v not_o teach_v any_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sabbath_n either_o good_a or_o bad_a in_o the_o world_n till_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o god_n and_o command_v as_o i_o shall_v in_o its_o place_n demonstrate_v or_o 2._o it_o must_v be_v moral_a as_o perpetual_a and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v for_o there_o will_v be_v no_o keep_v of_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n in_o glory_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v all_o one_o perpetual_a

be_v set_v among_o the_o moral_a precept_n answ_n because_o though_o the_o day_n and_o time_n in_o itself_o be_v not_o moral_a in_o either_o of_o these_o sense_n but_o institute_v yet_o there_o be_v something_o in_o and_o about_o it_o which_o be_v moral_a and_o be_v perpetual_a that_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o be_v moral_a though_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n thereof_o differ_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o the_o day_n and_o time_n be_v a_o institution_n as_o likewise_o the_o rest_n for_o worship_n and_o the_o rest_n in_o glory_n prefigure_v by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v and_o be_v moral_a and_o shall_v be_v perpetual_a 2._o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v neither_o institute_v nor_o observe_v nor_o know_v in_o the_o world_n before_o it_o be_v give_v by_o moses_n exod._n 16._o 23._o and_o 20._o 8._o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v 1._o because_o we_o find_v it_o not_o mention_v till_o this_o

of_o two_o thousand_o and_o five_o hundred_o year_n the_o saint_n and_o their_o worshipping-god_n be_v so_o much_o speak_v of_o during_o this_o time_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o deny_v where_o be_v neither_o scripture_n nor_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n 2_o it_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o it_o be_v the_o seventh-day_n from_o the_o creation_n that_o god_n command_v for_o it_o be_v plain_a
