WE shall speak now to the word Grace. The 1Greek word (Caris) that's here rendered Grace, hath a two-fold signification. Sometimes it's taken for the gracious favour and good will of God, whereby he is pleased of his own free love to accept and own poor sinners in the Son of his love, for his own. This is called the first Grace, because 'tis the fountain of all other graces, and the Spring from whence they flow. And it's therefore called Grace, because it makes a man gracious with God.
