Thesis XXV. As for actual grace, or the grace of special help as Bellarmine calls it, to see what they mean by the term we must first note that the schools usually divide the helps by which God assists a man in acting into internal and external.
External helps are occasions and opportunities for acting, examples, counsels, precepts, exhortations and many others it would take too long to go through one by one. Internal helps consist in certain motions of the soul. External helps have nothing to do with the grace now in question, which is confined to the internal ones.

XXV. Quod attinet ad gratiam actualem, sive, ut loquitur Bellarminus, gratiam Auxilii specialis, ut quid eo nomine designent intelligatur, notandum est primo auxilia quibus Deus hominem in agendo adjuvat, in Scholis distingui solere in interna, & externa. Externa sunt occasiones & opportunitates agendi, exempla, consilia, praecepta, hortationes, & plura quae singula persequi longum esset: interna in quibusdam animi motibus consistunt. Auxilia externa non pertinent ad gratiam illam de qua jam quaestio est, sed ad interna restringitur.
