First justification free; second (growth) from condign merit of works
Rome: first justification (sinner→just) is free gift.
Second justification (growth) they ground in condign merit of good works.
Latin
LI. Attamen Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae distinctionem hic adhibent inter justificationem primam, qua homo ex peccatore & impio fit justus & sanctus, per peccati remissionem, & per adoptionem gratiae sanctificantis atque regenerantis, & inter justificationem secundam, qua homo jam justificatus in justitia & sanctitate crescit, & ex justo justior, ex sancto sanctior evadit. Et prima quidem illa est quam gratuitam esse volunt; sed quod attinet ad secundam justificationem, docent illam esse ex meritis, & hominem justum sic per bona opera in justitia & sanctitate crescere, ut etiam ex condigno, mereatur augmentum gratiae sanctificantis, atque justificantis.
