Dialogues, between a minister and an honest country-man, concerning election and predestination, very suitable to the present times. To which is annexed, Divine prescience consistent with human liberty: or Mr. Wesley's opinion of election and reprobation, prov'd to be not so absurd as represented in a late letter, under the title of Free grace indeed: but to be clear of those destructive consequences that will forever attend the Calvinistical doctrine of absolute-fatality. By an enquirer after truth. [One line from I Thessalonians]

Note
"The following Dialogues were published some years since, occasion'd by some works of the famous Dr. Edwards. The latter part is written by a person in this country. .."--p. [3]. The Dialogues were first published in Boston in 1720 under title "Choice dialogues between a godl minister, and an honest country-man, concerning election & predestination," and are attributed to John Checkley in the Dictionary of American biography. Evans suggests that the annexed 'Divine prescience consistent with human liberty' may be by Archibald Cummings or Richard Peters.Citation/references Evans, 4690
