Cap. VI Arg. 12 close: faith in election as effect prepared, not presupposed cause
Finally, they say election does not reach singulars apart from foresighted faith in them. We grant election never happens without regard to good qualities — faith and holiness — but as prepared and to be given to all the elect by virtue of election. They are not presupposed to the election decree as causes, conditions, or occasions of election itself, as Arminians claim. Predestination does regard what is on our side — our faith and obedience — not as what bends God's will to will, but as that for whose production the divine will ordained grace. Any good quality or work considered in men is not the reason of predestination but its end (so Aquinas on Rom. 8). Be considered in election, then — as effect, not as reason or condition of election.
Latin
Denique, quod dicunt electionem non tendere in singulares personas citra considerationem fidei in illis praevisae, fatemur electionem nunquam fieri absque omni consideratione bonarum qualitatum, fidei scilicet et sanctitatis: considerantur enim tanquam virtute electionis omnibus electis praeparatae et donandae. Sed non considerantur ut praesuppositae electionis decreto, tanquam causae, conditiones, aut occasiones ipsius electionis, sicut ostendunt Arminiani. Nam praedestinatio sive electio respicit quidem id quod est ex parte nostra, hoc est, fidem et obedientiam nostram, non sicut id quod inclinat voluntatem Dei ad volendum, sed sicut id ad cujus productionem Divina voluntas gratiam ordinavit. Bona enim qualitas aut operatio quaecunque in hominibus considerata non est ratio praedestinationis sed Terminus, ut bene Thomas, Comment. in Rom. 8. Consideretur ergo fides in electione, sed ut effectus, non ut ratio vel conditio electionis.
