Page 266

Deum reconciliari voluisse quibusdam; hîc homi∣es reconciliandi et reconciliari dicuntur, idque propter Christi merita. Quid ergo? An Chri∣stus non meruit ut Deus hominibus reconcilia∣retur? Non dixeris, opinor. At tantundem hîc dicitur. Certè Christus Deo, non homi∣nibus satisfecit. Verissimum quidem est, nos recte dici Deo esse reconciliandos, ut applice∣tur reconciliatio merito Christi impetrata: u∣tinam a apertius & liquidius nos docuisset, quo pacto merita Christi prius applicanda fue∣rint.

2. Exmeritorum Christi, ad hominem, quâ intellectu & voluntate praeditum, applicatione, Foedus Dei cum Electis emergens, hoc esse dici∣tur [se recipientibus Christum reconconciliatum iri] quod oracularem ambiguitatem, ex vo∣cum sono, referre videtur. Sed praestat sic intelligere, ac si clarè affirmetur, Deum re∣conciliatum iri recipientibus Christum: Quid a. sit hoc [Christum recipere] utinam explicâsset. Sed quid si noluit, ne quid infirmum subtèr latens exponeretur: aut non potuit, Thosibus, dicam, an hypothesibus salvis?

fateor me non satis capere; non quod minus intelligam, quàm quod minus sanum esse judicem. Sed transeat.

4. Conditionem à parte nostrâ, Sc. Christi receptionem ab homine non propriis naturae viri∣bus praestari, sed à Dei praesertim gratiâ, da∣mus: modò hominis esse actum, à nobis, mediante Dei Evangelio, per spiritûs sancti gratiam productum, non negetur.

5. Meminerit lector, Conditionem hanc, ab Authore Concedi, esse in homine quid ad recon∣ciliationem Praerequisitum.
