3. It is only by Grace that we are saved, or Eternal Life is the free Gift of God, and Gift of Christ; because he will have all the 1Glory of it: God will not give the Glory of our Salvation unto others. Having predestinated us to the Adoption of Children by Jesus 2Christ according to the good Pleasure of his Will, to the Praise of the Glory of his Grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved.
4. It is by Grace only because God would magnify his Son, by whose Righteousness and Obedience imputed to us, we are justified and saved: and it is to this end I say, that God might exalt Jesus Christ; his Design was, to magnify Christ in our Salvation, and to abase Man: Thou hast given him Power over all Flesh, that he 1should give Eternal Life to as many as thou hast given him.
