Thesis LXXVII. The recent Thomists hold that people in whom grace fails to convert nonetheless possess grace sufficient for conversion; the Reformed, siding with Jansenius, reject this. The quarrel is purely verbal.
What the Thomists intend is not the claim that the unconverted are missing no help from God that would have to come first. Only that claim is what Jansenius and the Reformed reject in saying such people lack sufficient grace. Apart from it, they would happily concede to the Thomists that the grace these people receive may be termed sufficient after a fashion, within its own kind.
Latin
LXXVII. Itaque quod Thomistae recentiores affirmant, illos in quibus gratia non est efficax ad conversionem, nihilominus gratiam sufficientem ad eam habere, id vero Reformati cum Jansenio negant, mera logomachia est. Siquidem Thomistae per hoc affirmare non intendunt, iis qui non convertuntur nullum deesse auxilium ad eorum conversionem ex parte Dei antecedaneum, quod unice negare volunt Jansenius & Reformati, quum dicunt illos non habere gratiam sufficientem, Thomistis alioqui facile concessuri gratiam quae talibus datur, secundum quid & in suo genere sufficientem dici posse.
