B02273	An additional word to The body of divinity, or Confession of faith; being the substance of Christianity. Added on special occasion, tending further to confirm some truths therein. 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.

over_o man_n in_o his_o sin_v state_n where_o all_o have_v sin_v away_o their_o mercy_n to_o exercise_v justice_n and_o mercy_n on_o who_o he_o please_v not_o from_o his_o eternal_a will_n without_o

and_o war_a he_o must_v leave_v all_o to_o the_o eternal_a will_n and_o power_n who_o as_o probable_o as_o not_o have_v design_v he_o a_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n from_o eternity_n if_o it_o be_v
