Chapter 6: On the grace of heavenly and holy calling: third principle defined
CHAPTER SIX. On the grace of heavenly and holy calling.
There follows the grace of heavenly and holy calling, which is the third principle of human salvation, by which the Holy Spirit, given by the Father through the sacrifice of the Son who has propitiated the whole world, and given to the Son, calls all sinners without exception to the faith of Christ and seriously invites them to participation in life.
We call this principle of human salvation heavenly and holy calling, with the Apostle at Philippians 3:14 and 2 Timothy 1:9 — and so heavenly (Heb. 3:1) — which differs from the lower and external call by which someone is lawfully called to the function of an ecclesiastical or political office, as Aaron (Exod. 28:1) and Saul (1 Sam. 10:1), the Apostles and among them Judas also (John 6:70), and which can be called personal. But that former calling is common and spiritual, by which all humans are called to the communion of spiritual goods.
Latin
CAPUT SEXTUM, De gratia supernae & sanctae vocationis. Sequitur gratia supernae & sanctae vocationis, quae est tertium salutis humanae principium, quo Spiritus sanctus a Patre per sacrificium Filii toti mundo placato & Filio datus omnes peccatores sine exceptione ad fidem Christi vocat & ad vitae participationem serio invitat. Hoc salutis humanae principium appellamus vocationem supernam & sanctam, cum Apostolo ad Phil. 3:14 & 2 Tim. 1:9, adeoque caelestem, Heb. 3:1, quae differt ab inferna & externa, qua quis ad functionem officii ecclesiastici aut politici legitime vocatur, ut Aaron, Exod. 28:1, & Saulus, 1 Sam. 10:1, Apostoli & in illis Judas quoque, Joh. 6:70, & personalis dici potest. Illa vero communis & spiritualis est, qua omnes homines ad communionem bonorum spiritualium vocantur.
