Close of the four Roman opinions

Thesis CXL. So we have set out briefly, as clearly as we could, the four opinions on the sufficiency and efficacy of divine grace that are most established and accepted in the Roman School. Others could be reported as well. But they seem highly improbable, their authors are less known and their followers fewer, and it would be far too long and tedious to note the finer differences on which individual doctors partly disagree among themselves. We may rest content with these four, and it does not seem worth the effort to look more minutely into such details.

Latin

CXL. Atque ita a nobis quam dilucide fieri potuit, breviter expositae sunt quatuor sententiae, in Schola Romana maxime solennes & receptae, circa gratiae divinae sufficientiam & efficaciam. Praeter quas etiam possent aliquot aliae referri: Sed quia videntur valde improbabiles, & authores obscuriores, ac sectatores pauciores habent; & prolixum nimis ac taediosum foret minutiora discrimina notare, quibus Doctores singuli aliquatenus inter se discrepant, his contenti esse possumus; nec videtur operae pretium in minutias istas scrupulosius inquirere.
