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.

therefore_o god_n have_v give_v no_o law_n unto_o they_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o can_v sin_v and_o they_o who_o deny_v any_o power_n in_o man_n to_o will_n and_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n according_a to_o his_o ministry_n they_o render_v man_n to_o be_v but_o as_o beast_n and_o god_n as_o give_v law_n to_o brute_n which_o will_v not_o only_o be_v dishonourable_a but_o unequal_a therefore_o let_v we_o be_v more_o prudent_a than_o to_o have_v so_o dishonourable_a thought_n of_o god_n who_o will_v let_v all_o man_n know_v in_o the_o end_n that_o in_o his_o

what_o we_o have_v not_o and_o he_o will_v judge_v man_n at_o the_o last_o day_n not_o for_o or_o by_o their_o lose_a power_n in_o adam_n but_o for_o their_o own_o wilful_a wickedness_n and_o not_o
