Cap. VII: first sense — antecedents of predamnation are not always antecedents of praeterition
Those who under one word of reprobating join both divine acts — passing by and damning — can hardly affirm anything certain about reprobation. What precedes the act of predamning is not always what precedes the act of passing by: what serves as a cause for predamnation does not at once have the nature of a moving cause or demerit causing toward praeterition.
Latin
Qui sub unico vocabulo reprobandi ambos hosce actus Divinae voluntatis praetereundi et damnandi conjunctim includunt, vix poterunt aliquid certi de reprobatione affirmare. Nam quod est antecedaneum ad actum praedamnandi, non erit semper antecedaneum ad actum praetereundi: quod habet rationem causae motivae ad praedamnationem, non habebit illico naturam causae motivae aut demeriti causantis ad praeteritionem.
