Christ teaches this (Luke 8:12-14; Luke 14:18).For some altogether refuse to hear; some hear sleepily; others from hope of external advantage, or zeal for novelty, or a spirit of slander; others harden themselves by perpetual habit of sinning; others seek secular wisdom and eloquence in preachers; others of their own accord withdraw from acknowledged truth.
Whoever wants more on the grace of God and its necessity in the business of salvation against old and new Pelagians should read especially the Pelagian history described by the great men Johannes Latium and Gerhard Johann Vossius.
CHAPTER SEVEN follows, On the means of human salvation, and namely on the law.
Latin
Id docet Christus Luc. 8:12-14; Luc. 14:18. Nam quidam prorsus audire nolunt; quidam audiunt somnolenter; alii spe utilitatis externae aut studio novitatis aut animo calumniandi; alii perpetua peccandi consuetudine semetipsos indurant; alii sapientiam & eloquentiam secularem in concionatoribus quaerunt; alii ab agnita veritate sponte sua secedunt. Plura qui volet de gratia Dei eiusque necessitate in negocio salutis contra Pelagianos veteres & novos legat cumprimis historiam Pelagianam a viris magnis Johanne Latio & Gerhardo Jo. Vossio descriptam. CAPUT SEPTIMUM sequitur, De mediis salutis humanae, & quidem nominatim de lege.
