Cap. X Arg. X: Augustine De praedest. sanct. 5 — common gifts do not discern; the grace that discerns good from evil is not common; God discerns you from another
Hear Augustine keeping Paul’s steps and teaching (De praedestinatione sanctorum 5): Are men set apart from men by gifts common to all? A little later: The grace that sets the good apart from the evil is not common to both. Still plainer: God sets you apart from another, to whom he has not given what he gave you.
Latin
Sed audiamus Augustinum Pauli vestigiis et doctrinae inhaerentem: De praedest. sanct. cap. 5. Numquid, inquit, per haec dona, quae omnibus communia sunt hominibus, discernuntur homines ab hominibus? Paulo post, Gratia quae bonos discernit a malis, non communis est et bonis et malis. Adhuc planius; Deus te discernit ab alio, cui non donavit, quod donavit tibi.
