Primus sensus falso Jansenio attributus, nempe Calvinianus.

Nil frequentius in iis Iesuitarum scriptis quae Con∣stitutionem antecesserunt, quam ut Iansenius Cal∣viniani erroris circa praeceptorum impossibilita∣tem arguatur. Id habent praecipue Clatomontanae Theses ann. 1644. in quibus prima propositio ex iis Lutheri & Calvini locis expressa dicebatur, in quibus illi haeretici aperte docent, impossibilia semper este praecepta omnibus justis, utcunque spiritu Dei adjuventur. At post Constitutionem, cum id viderent vehementer officere causae suae, velificatione mutata, jam negant vulgarem Calvi∣ni ertorem de praeceptorum impossibilirate omni∣bus generatim justis unquam Iansenio attributum, sed aliam quandam fictitiam & inauditam Calvini sententiam, de impossibilitate praecepti quibusdam justis tantum, ex defectu gratiae efficacis. Sic nu∣per disputare coepit Annatus, sed futiliter, ne quid gravius dicam. Quem enim alium intelligere po∣tuerunt Romani Consultores ac summus Pontifex, nisi verum & notum Calvini errorem, qui certe in proprio primae propositionis sensu cum multis a∣liis continetu? An vero suspicari debuerunt aut potuerunt nescio quam Calvini haeresim nondum natam, at ex Iesuitarum cerebro propediem erup∣turam? Necessario tamen a Iesuitis haec fabula in∣stituta est, ut hoc suae causae grande vitium quodam∣modo sarcirent. Sed ut saepe in magno numero quidam crassiores reperiuntur, qui scenae suae ma∣le serviunt; ita nuper contigit, ut quidam Iesuita Aurelianensis nomine Crasset, Societatis suae artes aut oblitus, aut non edoctus, rursus adversariis su∣is, quos Iansenistas vocat, crudum Calvini dog∣ma objectaret. In publica enim concione dixit, Ex illorum sententia consectarium esse, omnes con∣fessiones esse invalidas, quod actum contritionis impos∣sibilem esse dicerent. Et ne tantae calumniae memo∣ria intercideret, in famoso quodam libello adver∣sus Aurelianensem Episcopum, qui ipsum a sacris concionibus interdixerat, scripto illam ipsam ani∣mose propugnavit. Verum hunc ad Societatem su∣am calliditatis magistram remitrere sat erit, ut ru∣dem illam dediscat audaciam. Interim ex eo con∣stabit, Calvinianum sensum, nempe omnibus ju∣stis mandata Dei esse impossibilia, Iansenio a Iesu∣itis attributum esse, sed falso.
