Cap. VI: their questions dissolve by human will; ours ascend to special good pleasure
On their view, ask why these believed and those did not, why these persevered and those did not, why these were predestinated to eternal life and those not — every question dissolves by human choice's willing and not-willing. On ours one must ascend higher: though we attribute unbelievers' wickedness and perdition to human choice, yet believers' faith, perseverance, and destination to eternal life are to be sought from God's special good pleasure and a special operation answering it. No need to dispute curiously whether God first decrees eternal life to the elect then efficacious grace, or the reverse — only to prove that to certain singular persons known to God alone both efficacious grace and glory are predestinated, prepared, and gifted.
Latin
Ex horum igitur sententia, si quaeratur, Cur hi crediderunt, illi non crediderunt? Cur hi perseveraverunt, illi non perseveraverunt? Cur hi ad vitam aeternam praedestinati fuerunt, illi non fuerunt? hae omnes quaestiones per humani arbitrii velle et nolle dissolvuntur. At juxta sententiam nostram est altius conscendendum, et licet humano arbitrio nequitiam et perditionem incredulorum tribuamus, tamen credentium fidem, perseverantiam, ipsamque ad vitam aeternam destinationem a speciali Dei beneplacito, atque speciali operatione eidem beneplacito respondente, petendam arbitramur. Neque hic necesse erit curiose disputare, utrum Deus vitam aeternam prius decernat electis, dein gratiam efficacem, an e contra: sed id solummodo agendum est, ut probetur singularibus quibusdam personis Deo soli notis et gratiam efficacem et gloriam praedestinari, praeparari ac donari.
