Cap. 6 Arg. 8 Schoolmen: Alvarez against Arminians who root salvation’s difference in human will

That stands diametrically against Arminian teaching. They deny that any antecedent will of God is why some rather than others believe, convert, and are saved with effect. They put the whole difference down to the prior human will of people who, stirred by the same common grace as others, chose ahead of the rest to believe, to turn, and to take hold of salvation.

Latin

Haec e diametro adversantur placitis Arminianorum, qui negant aliquam antecedentem Dei voluntatem esse causam cur alii prae aliis credant, convertantur et efficaciter salventur: et totum hoc discrimen referunt ad antecedentem hominum voluntatem, qui cum aliis communi gratia excitati, prae aliis voluerunt credere, voluerunt se convertere, voluerunt salutem apprehendere.
