Rivet and Ferry: grace that makes pleasing is God's favour itself
Thesis XV. Rivet, however, in his Summary of Controversies (tractate 4, question 2), takes grace freely given to mean all the gifts of grace. By grace that makes pleasing, which he also calls grace that gives freely, he means God's favour itself, from which those gifts come.
Paul Ferry uses the same distinction in this sense in chapter 30 of his Specimen of an Orthodox Scholastic. By grace that makes pleasing he means grace that remains within God, which places nothing in the one who is favoured but is simply God's love. Under grace freely given he includes all the benefits of calling, justification and so on, which flow down to us from the grace that gives freely as from an overflowing spring.
Latin
XV. Rivetus autem in summa controversiarum tractatu quarto quaestione secunda, per gratiam gratis datam intelligit omnia dona gratiae; per gratiam vero gratum facientem, quam etiam gratis dantem vocat, intelligi vult ipsum Dei favorem, a quo dona illa procedunt. Quo sensu Paulus Ferrius in specimine Scholastici orthodoxi capite trigesimo, distinctionem eandem usurpat. Nam per gratiam gratum facientem significat gratiam Deo immanentem, quae non ponit aliquid circa gratificatum, sed est ipse Dei amor: sub gratia vero gratis data comprehendit omnia beneficia vocationis, justificationis, &c. ex gratia gratis dante, tanquam ex fonte uberrimo in nos dimanantia.
