frequent_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o grace_n to_o be_v acknowledge_v but_o that_o which_o be_v inherent_a second_o they_o take_v away_o that_o grace_n of_o

do_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o quicken_a and_o revive_a grace_n to_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a but_o a_o heal_a grace_n to_o the_o sick_a and_o a_o help_a grace_n to_o the_o weak_a and_o by_o how_o much_o they_o extol_v the_o power_n of_o nature_n and_o lessen_v the_o foulness_n of_o original_a sin_n so_o much_o they_o extenuat_fw-la the_o benefit_n of_o grace_n and_o be_v as_o well_o as_o the_o pelagian_n worthy_o term_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n grace_n second_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v little_a or_o no_o difference_n between_o the_o pelagian_n bonum_fw-la naturae_fw-la which_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v god_n grace_n and_o that_o sufficient_a grace_n which_o the_o papist_n hold_v to_o be_v common_a to_o all_o three_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o great_a difference_n between_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o grace_n whereby_o man_n be_v call_v for_o the_o pelagian_n acknowledge_v the_o great_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o reveal_v his_o will_n unto_o we_o and_o in_o

desire_v the_o reader_n to_o remember_v three_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o controversy_n be_v not_o concern_v our_o sanctification_n but_o concern_v our_o justification_n for_o we_o confess_v that_o our_o habitual_a sanctification_n consist_v in_o our_o righteousness_n inherent_a and_o actual_a in_o our_o new_a obedience_n second_o that_o the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o our_o justification_n before_o man_n but_o before_o god_n for_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v declare_v and_o know_v to_o be_v just_a not_o only_o by_o profession_n of_o the_o faith_n but_o also_o by_o good_a work_n as_o saint_n 24._o james_n teach_v three_o that_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v a_o righteousness_n in_o the_o faithful_a as_o bellarmine_n false_o charge_v we_o for_o we_o profess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o faithful_a or_o justify_v man_n in_o who_o there_o be_v not_o inherent_a righteousness_n more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n
