Cap. IX vocatione Sol cont.: reprobates are not required to believe a falsehood — Christ's death applies under the revealed condition of faith, not secret predestination (John 3:15–16)
Finally, the objection that on our view the reprobate are required to believe a falsehood — that Christ by his death obtained life and reconciliation for them — is plainly denied. Life and reconciliation through Christ's death are not applied to particulars under the secret condition If they were predestined, but under the revealed condition if they are believers; nor is application denied to any hearer except under if he is an unbeliever — as John 3:15–16 openly shows. Here the secret election/reprobation decree shows itself: Christ's death, which by God's ordination would avail any man who believed for reconciliation and life, yet profits only the elect, to whom alone from special mercy is given that grace by which they can and will efficaciously, and in fact, fulfill that condition.
Latin
Denique, quod objectum fuit, ex sententia nostra a reprobatis exigi ut falsum credant, scilicet Christum morte sua illis vitam et reconciliationem impetrasse, plane negatur. Vita enim et reconciliatio per mortem Christi non impetratur singularibus hominibus applicanda sub conditione hac arcana, Si fuerint praedestinati, sed sub conditione revelata, si fuerint fideles; neque negatur applicanda ulli singulari personae cui praedicatur, nisi sub hac conditione, si fuerit infidelis, ut aperte colligitur Joan. iii. 15, 16, etc. In hoc igitur se exserit arcanum illud electionis et reprobationis decretum, quod mors Christi, quae ex ordinatione Dei cuivis homini, si crederet, ad reconciliationem et vitam obtinendam valeret, non proficit tamen nisi electis, quibus solis ex speciali misericordia datur illa gratia, qua efficaciter possint et velint, et reapse adimpleant dictam conditionem.
