Cap. VIII critique: Corvinus's vocabulary of unbelief and vocation against Scripture; original sin alone
Further: when they say that in the reprobation decree God considers men as actually unbelieving and impenitent against God actually calling, they are forced to use words against the received custom of Scripture and of almost all theologians. If we take our standard of speech from Scripture and sound theologians,ians,ians, unbelief denotes rejection of the Gospel, and the words grace and vocation presuppose the Gospel's manifestation. Yet on Arminius's and Corvinus's view, people are reprobated for foresighted unbelief to whom the Gospel was never announced, and said to have rejected grace and vocation to whom Christ's grace was never offered. Finally, their teaching that original sin makes no man guilty of eternal death, and that no one is damned for that alone, is as alien to the catholic Church's doctrine as it is necessarily bound up with Arminian theology.
Latin
Porro, quando in constituenda sua sententia dicunt, Deum in decreto reprobationis considerare homines ut actu infideles et impenitentes contra Deum actu vocantem, coguntur vocabulis uti contra receptam sacrarum Scripturarum et omnium fere Theologorum consuetudinem. Si enim norman loquendi a Scripturis et sanis Theologis accipere velimus, infidelitas denotat rejectionem Evangelii, et vocabula gratiae ac vocationis Evangelii patefactionem praesupponunt. At Arminio et Corvino ob infidelitatem praevisam reprobantur, quibus Evangelium nunquam fuit annuntiatum; gratiam ac vocationem rejecisse dicuntur, quibus gratia Christi nunquam fuit oblata. Denique, quod de originali peccato docent, illud haud facere ullum hominem aeternae mortis reum, nec propter illud solum quenquam damnari, hoc profecto tam alienum est a catholicae Ecclesiae doctrina, quam est cum Arminiana Theologia necessario conjunctum et connexum.
