Adversus quartam propositionem.

1. Objiciunt omnia loca objecta contra primam & secundam: sed jam soluta haec sunt.

2. Objiciunt D. Thom. q. 6. de malo art. unico ad 3. ubi solvens illam objectionem: Si ergo vo∣luntas hominis infallibiliter movetur à Deo, sequi∣tur quod homo non habeat liberam electionem suorum actuum. Respondet: Deus movet quidem volunta∣tem immutabiliter propter efficaciam virtutis moven∣tis quae deficere non potest, sed propter naturam vo∣luntatis motae quae indifferenter se habet ad diversa, non inducitur necessitas, sed remanet libertas, sicut etiam in omnibus providentia divina infallibiliter ope∣ratur.

Respondemus adversarios noluisse impugnare propositionem, sed probare: nullus enim locus est in Divo Thoma aptior ad probandam quartam propositionem; quod sic ostenditur: Idem omni∣no est voluntatem agi insuperabiliter & indeclinabi∣liter, ac voluntatem moveri immutabiliter, effica∣citer, per virtutem moventem quae deficere non po∣test: atqui Semipelagiani fuerunt haeretici quia ne∣garunt voluntatem agi divina gratia insuperabiliter & indeclinabiliter: fuerunt enim haeretici quia ne∣garunt gratiam illam quam Divus Augustinus admit∣tebat toto libro de correptione & gratia, praesertim cap. 12. ut constat ex Hilario epist. ad Divum Au∣gustinum, Sect. Deinde molestè ferunt. Gratia au∣tem quam Divus Augustinus admittebat, est illa per quam voluntas insuperabiliter & indeclinabili∣ter agitur: haec enim sunt formalia verba Divi Au∣gustini. Ergo Semipelagiani fuerunt haeretici quia negarunt gratiam qua voluntas humana movetur im∣mutabiliter, infallibiliter, efficaciter, per virtu∣tem quae deficere non potest: quia tamen cum hac tanta gratiae efficacia stat libertas, haec enim gratia facit utrumque, hoc est, facit ut agamus, & ut li∣bere agamus, idcirco Divus Thomas dicit, quod non inducitur necessitas, scilicet absoluta, sed tantum necessitas infallibilis, immutabilis, efficacitatis vir∣tutis quae deficere non potest, & haec necessitas non

tollit libertatem. Et sic Divus Thomas duas simul haereses confutavit, scilicet Pelagii & Semipelagia∣norum, & Calvini.

3. Objiciunt Alvarem disp, 3. de Auxiliis, n. 17. & 18. dicentem haeresim Calvini & Lutheri fuisse, gratiam divinam ita inchoare & perficere, & ita ef∣ficacem esse, ut homo solum spontanee & non libe∣re, ultro & non coacte cooperetur.

Respondemus & nos detestari & anathema dice∣re his haeresibus: sed hoc ipsum argumentum fuse dissolvit Alvarez disp. 22. n. 30, & 31. & disp. 92. n. 13. admittendo contra Pelagium & Semipelagia∣nos, quod per divinam gratiam indeclinabiliter & insuperabiliter voluntas agitur; & contra Calvi∣num sustinendo, quod ita agitur, ut nihilominus ipsa libere agat.
