Cap. IV Arg. 2 Sol close: election from amor benevolentiae not amicitiae — Remonstrants elide their own nerve
Finally, their Major's confirmation — electing to salvation is an effect of highest love, so no one can be elected unless through faith at least foreseen he is pleasing and acceptable — is easily refuted. Election is an effect of love, but not of that friendship-love of Enoch pleased God; rather of the love the School calls benevolence. Effects of friendship-love tend only to the faithful and pious; effects of benevolence tend to the impious and unbelieving, to inspire faith and holiness in them — even to the not-yet-born, to destine them eternal life. The Remonstrants cannot even deny a love of God put forth toward the impious before faith and conversion; and by confessing it they cut the nerves of this argument. See what they write on antecedent and consequent love, Hague Colloquy p. 183 (Bertius).
Latin
Denique, quod ad confirmationem Majoris afferebatur, Eligere ad salutem esse effectum summae dilectionis, ac proinde neminem posse eligi a Deo, nisi qui per fidem saltem praevisam sit ei gratus et acceptus, hoc, inquam, facile refellitur et enervatur. Nam electio est effectus amoris, sed non illius amoris amicitiae de quo intelligenda sunt illa verba, Enoch placuit Deo; sed illius amoris, quem Schola appellat amorem sive benevolentiae. Effecta prioris amoris tendunt in solos fideles et pios, sed effecta posterioris in impios et incredulos, ut illis inspiret fidem et sanctitatem, imo in nondum natos, ut illis destinet vitam aeternam. Esse quendam Dei amorem qui exseritur erga impios ante fidem et conversionem ne diffiteri quidem possunt Remonstrantes; et tamen fatendo, hujus argumenti nervos elidunt. Videte quae de Antecedente et consequente amore scribunt, Colloq. Hag. pag. 183, Edit. Bertii.
