Cap. IV Arg. 5 Sol close: Minor — faith a destined means, not a foreseen condition of election

On the Minor, which sits in express Scripture words, little need be added: from what is said it is plain you cannot prove from it that faith in election must be taken as a foreseen condition antecedent to election — but as a means destined and to be given to those God elected and destined for adoption.

Latin

De Minore, quae expressis Scripturae verbis continetur, non opus est aliquid dicam: ex dictis enim facile intelligatur, inde non posse probari, fidem in electione debere considerari ut conditionem praevisam, et electionis antecedaneam, sed ut medium illis destinatum et conferendum quos Deus elegit, et adoptandos destinavit.
