Titus 3:4-7

Mace(i) 4 but when the kindness and love of God our saviour display'd itself to mankind, 5 he saved us not in consideration of any virtuous actions which we had done, but out of his meer mercy, by the baptism of regeneration, he form'd us anew, by the plentiful effusion of the holy spirit, 6 thro' Jesus Christ our saviour: 7 that being justified by his favour, we should have the inheritance of eternal life, according to our hopes.
