Adversus primam propositionem.

1 OBjiciunt D. Thomam q. 24. de verit. a. 12, Nec liberum arbitrium tollimus, cum dici∣mus quodlibet peccatum singulariter liberum arbitri∣um posse vitare.

Respondemus D. Thomam satis se explicare dum paulo post addit, Quamvis non sine divino au∣xilio, quod hominem sua providentia ad bona agenda & mala vitanda gubernat; quod non potest intel∣ligi nisi de auxilio efficaci quo Deus gubernat.

2. Objiciunt D. Thomam ibid. ad 7. Aliquis in mortali existens potest vitare omnia peccata mortalia auxilio gratiae: potest etiam ex naturali virtute sin∣gula vitare, quamvis non omnia; & ideo non sequi∣tur, quod peccatum committendo non peccet.

Respondemus verum hoc esse, sed cum auxilio divino, ut dixit in corpore; & quia illud auxilium non solebat vocari gratia, ut expresse dicit D. Tho∣mas ib. art. 4. ideo naturali virtute dicitur posse, quomodo D. Paulus dicit, Gentes quae legem non habent, naturaliter quae legis sunt faciunt.

3. Objiciunt D. Thomam art. 13. ejusdem quaest. Quia nullus motus liberi arbitrii praecedit plenam deliberationem pertrahens ad peccatum quasi inclinatione habitus, ideo potest omnia mortalia vi∣tare.

Respondemus, in homine justo nullus motus inordinatus quo adaereat ultimo fini inordinato praecedit, quia jam poenituit & justificatus est, ideo potest omnia vitare, non tamen sine auxilio divino, ut dixit articulo praecedenti, & iterum dicit articulo sequenti.

4. Objiciunt. art. 14 ad 12. Recte homo corripitur qui praeceptum non implet, quia ex ejus negligentia est quod gratiam non habet, per quam potest ser∣vare mandata quantum ad modum: cum possit nihi∣lominus per liberum arbitrium ea servare quantum ad substantiam.

Respondemus per gratiam habitualem hominem posse servare mandata quantum ad modum meriti, & quantum ad substantiam posse illa servare, non tamen sine mesericordia Dei, per quam interius mo∣tum mentis operatur, sine qua nullum bonum homo po∣test facere, ut expresse dicit Divus Thomas ibid in corp. art.

5. Objiciunt D. Thomam 3 p. q. 86. art. 1. Di∣cere quod aliquod peccatum sit in hac vita, de quo a∣liquis poenitere non possit, erroneum est, quia per hoc tolleretur libertas arbitrii, & derogaretur virtuti gratiae cujuscunque peccatoris ad poenitendum.

Respondemus locum hunc truncatum referri; si afferatur integer, affert solutionem: sic ergo ha∣bet, & derogaretur virtuti gratiae per quam moveri potest cor cujuscunque peccatoris ad poenitendum se∣cundum istud Proverb. 21. Cor Regis in manu Do∣mini, quocunque voluerit vertet illud. Qui locus manifeste loquitur de gratia efficaci qua moveri po∣test cor peccatoris cujuscunque ad poenitendum, & qua sola cor Regis Deus vertit.

6. Objiciunt Alvarem disp. 71 de Auxiliis n. 9. & n. 12. Gonzalem 1 p. q. 23. art. 8. n. 18, & n. 24. et q. 19. art. 8. disp. 58. sect. 2. n. 16. et Cabreram 3 p. q. 18. art. 4. disp. 6. dub. 5. concl. 2 et Petrum de Ledesma de Auxiliis quaest. unica, art. 16. concl. 3.

Respondemus, admissis illis omnibus quae di∣cunt hi Auctores, adhuc veram esse propositionem, etiam apud illos. Apud Alvarem disp. 88. Gon∣zalem citatum in objectione paulo post verba ob∣jecta, Cabreram ibid. dub. 3 ad 1 confirmat. 6 argum. et ad 1 confirmat. 8 argum. Ledesmam i∣bid. art. 14 ad 2 et 3.
