in_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v tit._n 3.5_o not_o by_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o that_o be_v according_a to_o his_o eternal_a mercy_n and_o grace_n he_o show_v favour_n and_o compassion_n to_o we_o and_o pardon_v our_o sin_n and_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v worth_a observe_n epes_n 1.4_o where_o speak_v of_o the_o eternal_a grace_n of_o god_n he_o say_v that_o god_n place_v his_o grace_n upon_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n before_o he_o in_o love_n he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o god_n elect_v we_o because_o we_o will_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n but_o he_o elect_v we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n before_o he_o in_o love_n good_a work_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n but_o the_o consequent_n of_o grace_n nay_o i_o add_v more_o that_o as_o god_n do_v not_o foresee_v our_o good_a work_n so_o not_o our_o faith_n neither_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o grace_n but_o grace_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o faith_n god_n therefore_o enable_v we_o to_o believe_v in_o time_n because_o god_n love_v we_o from_o eternity_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o they_o of_o achaia_n say_v that_o they_o believe_v through_o grace_n and_o apollo_n help_v they_o much_o that_o believe_v through_o grace_n act_v 18.27_o it_o be_v by_o grace_n that_o we_o believe_v it_o be_v not_o by_o faith_n that_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o grace_n thus_o we_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n in_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n from_o eternity_n in_o the_o eye_n and_o sight_n of_o god_n who_o see_v all_o thing_n absent_a as_o if_o they_o be_v present_a and_o speak_v of_o thing_n before_o they_o be_v do_v as_o if_o they_o

to_o forgive_v sin_n the_o apostle_n bid_v we_o to_o forgive_v one_o another_o as_o christ_n have_v forgive_v we_o col._n 3.13_o as_o there_o be_v grace_n in_o the_o father_n to_o forgive_v sin_n so_o

father_n this_o grace_n in_o scripture_n be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o as_o the_o sole_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n grace_n be_v so_o hold_v forth_o for_o justification_n that_o all_o thing_n beside_o grace_n be_v exclude_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o grace_n exclusive_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v shut_v out_o when_o god_n justifi_v a_o man_n he_o eye_v that_o man_n only_o in_o his_o own_o grace_n and_o when_o god_n justifi_v a_o man_n in_o the_o court_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n he_o strip_v he_o of_o all_o his_o own_o work_n of_o his_o own_o love_n to_o

not_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n the_o apostle_n clear_v it_o to_o we_o by_o that_o passage_n rom._n 4.4_o to_o he_o that_o work_v the_o reward_n be_v not_o reckon_v of_o grace_n but_o of_o debt_n if_o a_o man_n can_v work_v or_o merit_v any_o thing_n towards_o his_o justification_n and_o salvation_n than_o it_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n say_v the_o apostle_n the_o reward_n be_v not_o of_o grace_n

salvation_n we_o may_v require_v god_n to_o bestow_v and_o give_v we_o what_o we_o have_v wrought_v for_o but_o true_a grace_n shut_v out_o all_o merit_n and_o work_n in_o the_o creature_n if_o we_o can_v bring_v any_o merit_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o join_v with_o his_o grace_n grace_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o grace_n as_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 11.6_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o grace_n as_o it_o be_v in_o god_n so_o before_o god_n we_o be_v save_v in_o his_o eternal_a thought_n he_o in_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o grace_n have_v elect_v we_o to_o justification_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n in_o glory_n by_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o he_o never_o hold_v forth_o his_o grace_n to_o we_o but_o in_o the_o countenance_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n shine_v bright_a with_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n he_o show_v we_o that_o he_o have_v lay_v all_o our_o sin_n on_o his_o son_n that_o his_o justice_n have_v receive_v full_a

thus_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n constant_o in_o their_o preach_n discover_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n as_o our_o saviour_n to_o nicodemus_n god_n so_o love_v the_o

of_o faith_n we_o rise_v high_o in_o our_o thought_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v bring_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o eternity_n of_o love_n and_o have_v liberty_n to_o read_v

the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n joh._n 7.19_o do_v not_o moses_n give_v you_o a_o law_n and_o none_o of_o you_o keep_v it_o so_o i_o may_v speak_v to_o all_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n the_o just_a and_o righteous_a god_n as_o the_o creator_n that_o may_v require_v obedience_n from_o his_o creature_n have_v give_v we_o a_o just_a and_o holy_a law_n all_o that_o he_o command_v be_v

but_o we_o have_v all_o sin_v and_o have_v break_v this_o just_a and_o righteous_a law_n of_o god_n therefore_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v no_o justification_n for_o a_o man_n by_o the_o law_n or_o his_o own_o work_n three_o another_o consideration_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o this_o it_o be_v not_o any_o whit_n necessary_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v have_v any_o work_n at_o all_o to_o bring_v with_o he_o unto_o god_n for_o his_o justification_n there_o be_v a_o fullness_n and_o sufficiency_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o in_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o there_o be_v

that_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a nor_o necessary_a that_o a_o man_n do_v good_a work_n that_o he_o may_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v we_o have_v a_o rule_n in_o philosophy_n that_o it_o be_v vain_a
