To weigh the Gold of Gofpel Truth-
To balance a multitude of oppofite Scriptures-
To prove the gospel-Marriage of Free Grace and Free-
Will, and reftore primitive Harmony to the
Gospel of the day.

How is the most fine gold changed!" Take heed that ye be
not deceived: for many fhall come in my name, faying, ' I
am Chrift' DOCTRINAL: I am Chrift' MORAL: But To
the law and to the teftimony: if they speak not according to
this word, it is because there is no light in them' (or at least
becaufe) their wine is mixed with water, and their filver is

PRE FAC E.

THE Reconciler invites the contending Parties to end the Controverfy; and in order to this, he befeeches them not to involve the question in clouds of evafive cavils, or perfonal reflections: but to come to the point, and break, if they can, either the one or the other of his ScriptureScales; and, if they cannot, to admit them both, and, by that means, to give glory to God and the Truth, and be reconciled to all the Gospel, and to one another.

EING fully perfuaded that Chriftianity fuffers

lifidians, and of the mere Moralifts; we embrace the truths and reject the errors, which are maintained by thefe contrary parties. For, by equally admitting the doarines of grace, and the dodrines of juflice;-by equally contending for faith and for morality, we adopt what is truly excellent in each fyftem; we reconcile Zelotes and Honeflus; we bear our teftimony against their contentious partiality; and, to the beft of our knowledge, we maintain the whole truth as it is in Jefus.

If we are mistaken, we fhall be thankful to thofe who will fet us right. Plain feriptures, clofe arguments, and friendly expoftulations, are the weapons we chufe. We humbly hope, that the unpre judiced reader will find no other in these pages: and to engage our opponents to ufe fuch only, we prefent to them the following Petition.
