understanding_n of_o these_o word_n grace_n faith_n justification_n or_o righteousness_n and_o work_v therefore_o work_n i_o think_v it_o expedient_a to_o bestow_v some_o travel_n in_o several_a declaration_n of_o every_o of_o they_o and_o first_o touch_v grace_n forasmuch_o as_o in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v take_v in_o three_o sense_n at_o the_o least_o therefore_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o all_o be_v declare_v to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v more_o apparent_a in_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v use_v in_o this_o place_n wherefore_o in_o this_o first_o and_o principal_a sense_n it_o may_v thus_o be_v define_v grace_n be_v a_o free_a benevolence_n of_o the_o will_n grace_n of_o god_n justify_v the_o elect_v through_o faith_n in_o christ_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o i_o know_v the_o adversary_n will_v never_o admit_v this_o definition_n because_o it_o be_v the_o overthrow_n of_o their_o rot_a building_n therefore_o somewhat_o to_o arm_v the_o willing_a reader_n against_o the_o charm_n of_o their_o wrangle_a shift_n i_o will_v seek_v by_o the_o scripture_n to_o prous_a the_o truth_n of_o the_o same_o by_o the_o part_n thereof_o which_o be_v these_o first_o that_o it_o be_v a_o free_a benevolence_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n second_o that_o it_o justify_v the_o elect_a through_o faith_n in_o christ_n now_o for_o the_o first_o part_n name_o that_o grace_n be_v a_o free_a benevolence_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v thus_o prove_v saint_n paul_n to_o timothy_n say_v thus_o who_o save_v we_o and_o call_v we_o with_o a_o holy_a 1._o call_n not_o accord_v to_o our_o deed_n but_o accord_v to_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o grace_n and_o again_o the_o same_o paul_n to_o the_o ephesian_n say_v thus_o who_o have_v predestynate_v we_o to_o be_v adopt_v through_o jesus_n chryst_n unto_o himself_o 1._o accord_v to_o the_o benevolence_n of_o his_o will_n note_v that_o in_o the_o former_a place_n h_z affirm_v our_o salvation_n to_o be_v give_v accord_v to_o his_o grace_n or_o favour_n and_o now_o in_o this_o place_n he_o affirm_v the_o same_o to_o be_v give_v accord_v to_o the_o benevolence_n of_o his_o will_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o his_o grace_n or_o favour_n and_o the_o benevolence_n of_o his_o will_n be_v all_o one_o thing_n and_o paul_n to_o the_o roman_n affirm_v it_o to_o be_v free_o do_v for_o he_o say_v all_o 3._o have_v sin_v and_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o therefore_o grace_n be_v right_o say_v to_o be_v a_o free_a benevolence_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o be_v first_o to_o be_v prove_v now_o touch_v the_o second_o part_n namely_o that_o grace_n justify_v the_o elect_v through_o faith_n in_o chryst_n it_o be_v thus_o prove_v by_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o grace_n 3_o shall_v be_v make_v heir_n according_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n note_v here_o that_o he_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o ephesian_n he_o say_v thus_o for_o by_o grace_n be_v you_o save_v 2._o through_o faith_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o by_o grace_n through_o faith_n we_o be_v justify_v which_o be_v second_o to_o be_v prove_v now_o i_o suppose_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o definition_n be_v sufficient_o confirm_v which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o principal_a signification_n of_o grace_n namely_o that_o whereby_o righteousness_n be_v give_v unto_o man_n through_o faith_n the_o rest_n do_v require_v the_o less_o travel_n of_o the_o which_o the_o second_o grow_v from_o this_o first_o thus_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o they_o which_o be_v justify_v by_o grace_n through_o faith_n be_v by_o the_o free_a spirit_n of_o god_n regenerate_v into_o a_o new_a life_n which_o breed_v such_o disposition_n or_o habit_n as_o bring_v forth_o good-worke_n and_o holy_a cenuersation_n in_o they_o therefore_o those_o good_a gift_n of_o god_n be_v also_o sometime_o call_v grace_n final_o that_o favour_n which_o christ_n have_v with_o god_n his_o
deed_n say_v bless_a be_v they_o who_o unrighteousness_n be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n be_v cover_v bless_a be_v the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v no_o sin_n and_o a_o little_a after_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n and_o a_o little_a after_o for_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o give_v to_o abraham_n or_o to_o his_o seed_n through_o the_o law_n but_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n for_o if_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n be_v heir_n they_o be_v faith_n but_o vain_a and_o the_o promise_n of_o no_o effect_n and_o again_o therefore_o by_o faith_n be_v the_o inheritance_n faith_n give_v that_o it_o may_v come_v of_o grace_n and_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v sure_a to_o all_o the_o seed_n not_o to_o they_o only_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v the_o father_n of_o we_o

this_o grace_n wherein_o we_o stand_v and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god._n and_o again_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o the_o gentile_n which_o follow_v not_o

the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n wherefore_o because_o they_o seek_v it_o not_o by_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n law_n and_o again_o for_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n have_v not_o be_v obedient_a unto_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o
