in_o scripture_n first_o pro_fw-la gratia_fw-la gratis_o data_fw-la for_o the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n infuse_v into_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o second_o pro_fw-la gratia_fw-la gratum_fw-la faciente_fw-la for_o the_o free_a favour_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o make_v we_o acceptable_a to_o himself_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n grace_n that_o be_v by_o the_o free_a favour_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o impute_v not_o our_o sin_n unto_o we_o but_o account_v we_o as_o just_a by_o impute_v the_o justice_n of_o christ_n unto_o we_o now_o according_a as_o grace_n be_v take_v in_o the_o first_o sense_n i_o say_v that_o so_o no_o man_n by_o grace_n can_v perform_v in_o this_o life_n such_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o not_o to_o offend_v against_o the_o same_o or_o to_o be_v thereby_o justify_v etc._n etc._n god_n never_o give_v or_o ever_o will_v give_v such_o grace_n to_o any_o to_o fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o so_o thereby_o justify_v or_o find_v righteous_a by_o the_o same_o for_o it_o stand_v not_o with_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n that_o any_o such_o grace_n shall_v be_v give_v from_o above_o and_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o if_o by_o our_o infirmity_n the_o strength_n of_o christ_n be_v make_v
