XXIV.The effects of the grace of calling are illumination, regeneration, faith, conversion, and begun sanctification.
XXV.Here there are certain notable points.1.Although God does not call all nations and persons in the same mode, nevertheless no one lacks what would suffice for salvation if his own fault did not obstruct.2.That God withdraws the external preaching of the Gospel from some nations for a longer time does not remove His just judgment, nor that He seriously wills all to be saved.3.That not all obey the calling is not the fault of the One who calls, but of the called and of the devil.

XXIV. Effectus gratiae vocationis sunt illuminatio, regeneratio, fides, conversio & sanctificatio inchoata. XXV. Sunt autem hic quaedam NOTABILIA. 1. Quamvis Deus non eodem modo omnes gentes & personas vocet, nihilominus nemini deest quod ad salutem sufficeret, si non sua culpa obstaret. 2. Quod Deus externam Euangelii praedicationem aliquibus gentibus diutius subtrahat, justum eius judicium non tollit, quin serio velit omnes salvos fieri. 3. Quod non omnes vocationi obediunt, id non est culpa vocantis, sed vocatorum & diaboli.
