A middle way between Molina and the recent Thomists

Thesis CXVI. Among the doctors of the Roman Church, however, many take what is in a sense a middle way between Molina's view and that of the recent Thomists, which seem to stand, as it were, at the extremes. For although on the substance of the question they agree with Molina, they depart from him on some points and try to soften his doctrine. Among them are Bellarmine and Vasquez, and above all Peter of Saint Joseph, a Feuillant monk.

Latin

CXVI. Sed inter Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae multi sunt qui mediam quodammodo viam insistunt, inter sententiam Molinae, & inter sententiam Thomistarum recentiorum, quae videntur quasi in extremo positae. Quamvis enim quod ad rei summam cum Molina sentiant, in quibusdam tamen ab eo discedunt, & doctrinam ejus emollire conantur. Quo de numero sunt Bellarminus & Vasquez, ac praecipue Petrus a Sancto Joseph Fuliensis Monachus.
