Saving Grace, is not only above the Power of the grace of nature, but also above the Power of supernatural common grace: and consequently, not attainable by free-will,1 strengthened with both the grace of nature, and supernatural common grace. Of this kind are all the effects of Election, which are proper to the Elect.
