QUESTION 177

OF THE GRATUITOUS GRACE CONSISTING IN WORDS

(In Two Articles)

We must now consider the gratuitous grace that attaches to words; of

which the Apostle says (1 Cor. 12:8): "To one . . . by the Spirit is

given the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge." Under

this head there are two points of inquiry:

(1) Whether any gratuitous grace attaches to words?

(2) To whom is the grace becoming?
