Cap. II Sol. Arg. 2 close: Augustine — works prepared in predestination (Eph. 2:10)
Hear Augustine (On the Gift of Perseverance 2.14): predestination is the foreknowledge and preparation of God's benefits by which whoever is freed is most surely freed. More plainly still (ch. 17): to whom God gives his holy gifts, he without doubt foresaw he would give them, and in that foreknowledge prepared them — for to arrange his own future works in his foreknowledge is exactly, and nothing else, to predestine. So you see how craftily and wickedly they cloud free predestination with foresight of works: God foresaw no good works in us, foresaw faith or holiness for no one, except what he prepared for us in the decree of predestination itself. He did not predestine us because he foresaw we would do good works; he foresaw we would do them because in our predestination good works were prepared for us to walk in (Eph. 2:10).
Latin
Audiamus Augustinum; qui lib. 2. De bono persever. c. 14. praedestinationem definivit, Praescientia & praeparatio beneficiorum Dei quibus certissime liberantur quicunque liberantur. Et apertius, cap. 17. Quibuscunque Deus sacra dona donat, proculdubio donaturum se esse praescivit, & in sua praescientia praeparavit. Nam in sua praescientia opera sua futura disponere, id omnino, nec aliud quicquam, est praedestinare. Ex quibus verbis facile videtis quam dolose & impie agant, qui gratuitam praedestinationem praescientia operum conentur obscurare, cum Deus nulla in nobis bona opera praeviderit, nulli praesciverit fidem aut sanctitatem, nisi eam quam in ipso decreto praedestinationis nobis praeparavit. Non igitur exinde praedestinavit nos quod praevidit bona opera facturos; sed ex eo praevidit bona opera facturos, quia in praedestinatione nostra praeparata sunt nobis bona opera, ut in illis ambulemus; Ephes. ii. 10.
