in the Epifiles of S. Paul, &c. 479 The defcription which is here given of our yuflification by Grace, in oppofition unto the condemnation, that we were made liable unto by the fin of Adam , and in exaltation above ít, as to the efficacy of Grace above that of the firft fin, in that thereby not one but all fini are forgiven, and not only fo, but a right unto life eternal is communicated unto us, is this, That we receive the Grace of God, and the gift of Righteoufnef , which gives us a right unto life by Jefus Chrift.
