controversy_n which_o be_v to_o inquire_v how_o the_o habit_n of_o save_a grace_n differ_v from_o those_o call_v common_a grace_n in_o which_o he_o proceed_v in_o this_o method_n 1._o he_o lay_v down_o a_o position_n viz._n that_o the_o habit_n of_o special_a and_o save_a grace_n be_v specifical_o different_a from_o the_o habit_n and_o act_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o common_a grace_n and_o 2._o he_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o follow_a reason_n 1._o the_o first_o principal_a reason_n be_v that_o there_o be_v many_o common_a grace_n or_o extraordinary_a free_a gift_n which_o be_v proper_o corporeal_a and_o inherent_a in_o the_o body_n as_o sampsons_n strength_n absoloms_n beauty_n etc._n etc._n of_o which_o he_o suppose_v it_o undeniable_o manifest_a that_o they_o differ_v specifical_o and_o not_o only_o in_o degree_n from_o the_o habit_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o charity_n etc._n etc._n reas_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v likewise_o many_o common_a grace_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o enlarge_v our_o understanding_n and_o lead_v they_o to_o a_o more_o distinct_a knowledge_n and_o comprehension_n of_o natural_a thing_n than_o they_o can_v otherwise_o attain_v to_o which_o be_v sometime_o immediate_o and_o miraculous_o infuse_v by_o god_n as_o be_v the_o vast_a wisdom_n of_o solomon_n and_o sometime_o acquire_v by_o the_o help_n of_o natural_a ingenuity_n industry_n and_o the_o help_n of_o a_o uncommon_a education_n such_o as_o may_v be_v the_o great_a natural_a knowledge_n of_o aristotle_n pliny_n etc._n etc._n now_o such_o knowledge_n of_o either_o of_o these_o sort_n though_o a_o common_a grace_n our_o author_n take_v to_o be_v so_o evident_o more_o than_o gradual_o distinct_a from_o save_v and_o sanctify_a knowledge_n such_o as_o be_v produce_v by_o a_o lively_a faith_n enliven_a and_o sanctify_v our_o soul_n that_o he_o suppose_v it_o need_v no_o proof_n and_o that_o no_o man_n will_v deny_v it_o reas_n 3._o the_o faith_n of_o miracle_n be_v a_o instance_n of_o common_a grace_n that_o differ_v more_o than_o in_o degree_n from_o special_a and_o save_a grace_n which_o our_o author_n think_v can_v but_o appear_v to_o be_v manifest_a to_o any_o man_n that_o shall_v impartial_o consider_v the_o follow_a several_a way_n in_o which_o they_o differ_v viz._n 1._o that_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o principle_n for_o that_o the_o habit_n of_o save_a faith_n be_v always_o a_o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n work_v new_a life_n and_o regeneration_n in_o we_o which_o the_o faith_n of_o miracle_n be_v not_o as_o have_v be_v many_o time_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la give_v to_o unregenerate_a and_o reprobate_a person_n where_o though_o our_o author_n confess_v that_o both_o these_o effect_n flow_v from_o the_o same_o spirit_n material_o and_o absolute_o consider_v yet_o it_o be_v under_o a_o several_a reason_n and_o formality_n which_o make_v they_o several_a formal_a principle_n and_o different_a enough_o to_o distinguish_v the_o effect_n that_o flow_v from_o they_o more_o than_o gradual_o so_o that_o the_o give_v of_o save_v faith_n be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o spirit_n inward_o regenerate_v and_o dwell_v in_o the_o regenerate_v in_o such_o a_o peculiar_a way_n as_o be_v not_o in_o a_o wicked_a man_n as_o appear_v in_o rom._n 8.9_o joh._n 14.16_o 17._o whereas_o the_o faith_n of_o miracle_n be_v a_o
