Cap. X Arg. X open: if after sufficient grace election arose from foresight, the divide would be man’s act under indifferent grace—not a gift prepared for one and not the other
If after sufficient grace is administered, men’s election and reprobation arose from foresight of these men’s faith and those men’s unbelief, then the divide of elect and reprobate would begin not by something prepared and given to one and not to the other, but by an act one performs and another does not under help from grace given indifferently. That must not be admitted unless we mean to shift the glory of our election from God’s pure mercy to the praise of free will.
Latin
Si post administratam sufficientem gratiam electio et reprobatio hominum oriretur ex praevisa horum fide, illorum infidelitate, tum discretio electorum et reprobatorum inciperet, non per aliquod uni praeparatum et donatum quod non est praeparatum et donatum alteri, sed per aliquem actum auxilio gratiae indifferenter administratae ab uno praestitum, ab altero non praestitum. At hoc nullo modo admittendum est, nisi gloriam electionis nostrae a pura Dei misericordia ad liberi arbitrii laudem velimus transferre.
