First, I say grace is a quality, for you must know, there is a double grace mentioned in the Scripture: There is ⟨p. 184⟩1the grace of justification, which is a thing in God alone, it is his favour to us, whereby he accepts us in his Son, Rom. 6. 14. Sin shall have no dominion over you, for you are not under the Law but under grace; that is, you are in the state of grace, or favour with God: so in Rom. 3. Ye 2are justified freely by his grace, that is, of his mere favour, not of debt, or due, not by works.3
