Ames adopts Alvarez on physical predetermination
Thesis LVI. In the same place he fully approves Didacus Alvarez's view and owns it as his own: through the efficacious help of grace God physically predetermines the created will, that is, in the manner of a physical cause, so that it consents without fail and works together with God as he calls and rouses it.
Then, in Alvarez's own words, he says that to predetermine physically is nothing other than truly, efficiently or really to make the will itself work together with God without fail. He adds that 'help of grace efficacious of itself', as it comes from God ahead of the will's free cooperation, and 'help that predetermines physically' mean the same thing.
Latin
LVI. Ibidemque omnino probat, & ut suam agnoscit sententiam Didaci Alvarés, quae est, Deum per auxilium gratiae efficax Physice, sive ad modum causae Physicae praedeterminare arbitrium creatum, ut infallibiliter consentiat & cooperetur Deo vocanti atque excitanti. Posteaque ipsius Alvarés verbis utens, dicit Physice praedeterminare nihil aliud esse, quam vere, efficienter, vel realiter facere, ut ipsum arbitrium infallibiliter Deo cooperetur. Et Auxilium gratiae ex se efficax, prout venit a Deo antecedenter ad liberam cooperationem arbitrii, & auxilium Physice praedeterminans idem significare.
