Grace taken most generally: God's love, and any free gift
Thesis II. To begin with the Roman School: its theologians, Bellarmine and William Estius among others, observe that the word 'grace', taken in its most general sense, is used in two ways.
First it means God's own love and goodwill, by which he wishes men well and does them good. Second, it means any free benefit from God, anything he grants us graciously. They acknowledge that both senses are current in Holy Scripture, in the church writers, and in the scholastic doctors themselves.
The first they call eternal and uncreated grace, the second temporal and created grace. What others say with Estius comes to the same thing: grace can be understood either on God's side or on ours.

II. Ut autem a Schola Romana ordiamur, observant ejus Theologi, ut inter alios Bellarminus * & Gulielmus Estius, † gratiae vocabulum generalissime sumptum bifariam accipi. Et primo quidem notare ipsum Dei amorem & benevolentiam, per quam hominibus bene vult & facit: deinde etiam quodcunque gratuitum Dei beneficium, & omne illud quod gratiose nobis a Deo conceditur. Ac duplicem hanc gratiae notionem usitatam esse agnoscunt, tum in scriptura divina, tum apud scriptores Ecclesiasticos, & ipsos etiam Scholasticos Doctores. Priorem illam gratiam, gratiam aeternam & increatam vocant: alteram vero gratiam temporariam & creatam. Et eodem recedit quod alii, cum Estio, dicunt, Gratiam, scilicet, intelligi posse, vel ex parte Dei, vel ex parte nostra. * Lib. 1. de gratia & lib. Arb. c. 1. & 2. † In dist. 26. lib. 2. sententiarum Sect. 1.
