Appendix: the Socinians on grace
Thesis LXXXIV. By way of appendix, it seemed right to add what the Socinians of today ascribe to the helps of God's grace in a person's conversion and in the practice of piety. They assume that the human will is not so bound by sin by nature that it cannot will or refuse to do something in matters of religion and eternal salvation, and also, once a person has heard the Gospel teaching, actually believe and obey God's commands.
God, they say, willed that our will, from which piety of life springs and by which it is judged, should lie within our choice and power, though he commonly furthers, hinders or permits its outward act as he chooses. From this they conclude that the willing of good that is in us is ours, not God's.

LXXXIV. Appendicis loco subnectere visum est quid auxiliis gratiae divinae in hominis conversione, & pietatis negotio tribuant hodierni Sociniani. Supponunt igitur hominis voluntatem per naturam peccato sic astrictam non esse, quin possit velle aut nolle aliquid facere, in rebus ad religionem salutemque aeternam spectantibus, & porro etiam, ubi Evangelicam doctrinam auribus perceperit, reipsa credere ac Dei praeceptis parere: Deum enim voluisse ut voluntas nostra, ex qua vitae pietas proficiscitur, & aestimatur, in nostro arbitrio & potestate sita esset: licet interim externum ipsius actum vel promovere, vel impedire, vel permittere pro arbitrio soleat: Unde concludunt velle bonum quod nobis inest, nostrum esse non Dei.
