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.

and_o discovery_n etc._n etc._n these_o thing_n i_o think_v be_v all_o state_v and_o clear_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n without_o all_o just_a occasion_n of_o offence_n i_o shall_v not_o say_v

chapter_n 1._o that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n only_o my_o reason_n for_o this_o be_v because_o the_o scripture_n no_o where_n that_o i_o know_v affirm_v he_o so_o to_o be_v and_o for_o i_o or_o any_o other_o to_o affirm_v that_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o must_v needs_o be_v unsound_a and_o unsafe_a the_o scripture_n always_o when_o it_o
