CAPUT. III.
Exponuntur sensus propositionis controversae bo∣ni & legitimi, ac supra omnem censurae me∣tum sua firmitate solidissimi.

1 1.1 PRimum est, Justis quandiu manent justi, etiam si velint aut conentur, non semper adesse gra∣tiam necessariam, qua secundum praesentes quas ha∣bent vires, ab omni peccato veniali abstineant, aut prae∣ceptum omne, cujus transgressio sit venialis, implere possint. Ratio hujus est: quia cum venialia non tollant justitiam, imo de fide sit, nulli praeter Dei∣parae concessam gratiam qua ab omni peccato venia∣li posset abstinere; dicente vel ipso Apostolo Jo∣anne: Quoniam si dixerimus quia peccatum non habemus, ipsi nos seducimus, & veritas in nobis non est:

Page 65

Consequens est justo, quamdiu manet justus, non semper adesse gratiam necessariam, qua quodlibet virtutis opus aut praeceptum quodlibet, cujus omis∣sio vel transgressio sit venialis, fiat ei possi∣bile.

Secund. est, Justis ut sic simpliciter sumptis, & absque illa reduplicatione suppositae perseverantiae in eo statu, non semper adesse gratiam necessariam quâ possint implere, aut de facto impleant praecepta sub mortali culpa obligantia. Ratio est: quia cum justus cadit a statu justitiae, cadit utique per transgressio∣nem mortalem alicujus praecepti. At in hanc non caderet, si gratiam necessariam ad implendum prae∣ceptum haberet, cum talis gratia sit efficax, & ut loquitur Paulus, operetur velle & perficere. Ergo hoc ipsum quod cadit, probatio est manifesta, non ipsi gratiam adfuisse qua staret. Ideo dicere justos non semper posse secundum praesentes vires quas ha∣bent, implere praecepta, non est aliud, quam im∣potentiam hujusmodi justis illis adscribere, qui per peccatum aliquod a justitia decidunt, & negare quod hi a Deo acceperint donum perseveran∣tiae.

Propositio juxta utrumque hunc sensum intelle∣cta, tam est certa & vera, quam verum est, quod ju∣giter experimur, nec justum quemquam semper a peccatis venialibus abstinere, nec omnes justos in statu justitiae semper perseverare.
