SERM. XXIII.
Of the Name, Nature and Preeminence of the Grace of God above all other things.
Of the Name, Nature and Preheminence of the Grace of God above all other things.
2 COR. 1. 2. Grace be to you, and Peace, &c.
The next thing considerable in these words, are the particular mercies prayed for in this Salutation. The first whereof, and that which is the efficient cause of all other things, is Grace. The Common-place in Divinity, De Gratia Dei, of the grace of God, is of a very vast extent, and most of the Popish, Arminian and Socinian errors, arise from the mistake of the use of this word in the Scripture; but it would be impertinent to grasp that whole controversy. I shall not treat any more of it, then what may relate to this Text.
