Cap. X: human will leading divine will is neither worthy of God nor of Scripture — predestination is preparation of efficacious grace and glory from mere mercy, not election from foreseen faith
We judge that scheme — predestination and reprobation in which human will leads the divine — neither worthy of God nor agreeable to Scripture. On the contrary side, as we have shown, Predestination is something else. It is not election of singular persons to everlasting life from their foreseen faith and perseverance. It is God's mere-mercy preparation of efficacious grace for certain persons, and of everlasting glory for them from that same mercy.
Latin
Hanc praedestinationem et reprobationem, in qua humana voluntas ducit Divinam, nec Deo dignam putamus, nec sacris literis consentaneam. E contra igitur, sicuti monstravimus, Praedestinationem non esse singularium personarum ex praevisa illarum fide et perseverantia electionem ad vitam aeternam, sed praeparationem gratiae efficacis certis quibusdam personis ex mera Dei misericordia, et praeparationem gloriae sempiternae iisdem ex eadem misericordia.
