Cap. VII: opposing sententiae — Jesuits on foresight sins; Arminians on final unbelief
Those against us hold the contrary: the cause of non-election or reprobation is the sins in which the reprobate are foresighted as about to die — so certain Jesuits. Others say foresighted unbelief with final perseverance in it is the cause, so that no one is considered by God reprobate or non-elect except in the very article of death, and that for contumacious unbelief against God calling. That is Arminius's view, and of those usually called Remonstrants.
Latin
Qui nobis adversantur e contra statuunt, Causam non-electionis sive reprobationis esse ea peccata in quibus reprobati praevidentur morituri. Atque haec est sententia quorundam Jesuitarum. Alii praevisam infidelitatem cum perseverantia finali in eadem dicunt esse causam reprobationis, ita ut nemo nisi in ipso mortis articulo consideretur a Deo ut reprobatus vel non-electus, idque propter hanc contumacem infidelitatem contra Deum evocantem. Atque haec sententia est Arminii et eorum quos Remonstrantes vocare solent.
