Cap. IX Arg. 6 Sol cont.: contempt of given grace may explain withdrawal — not why special mercy that always removes contempt was never prepared; urging the non-reprobate until regeneration
Second: contempt of whatever grace is given can rightly be named as cause why that grace is withdrawn, or why richer grace is not administered — and the cited Scriptures prove that. But it can only be alleged ineptly as cause or reason why that special mercy, and efficacious calling according to purpose which always removes contempt of grace, was never prepared and given to this or that person. To seize on that as the ground for denying further grace is itself a clear mark of non-election or antecedent reprobation. Those God has not reprobated — though they set many obstacles and by manifold negligence and resistance deserve grace to be taken away — he still from undue special mercy urges again and again, and does not stop until he has regenerated them and brought them under his grace.
Latin
Secundo, contemptus gratiae datae qualiscunque potest recte assignari ut causa cur eadem subducatur, vel cur uberior non administretur; atque hoc ex allatis Scripturae locis evincitur: sed non potest nisi inepte allegari ut causa vel ratio cur specialis illa misericordia, et efficax ac secundum propositum vocatio, quae contemptum gratiae semper tollit, non fuerit huic aut illi praeparata et donata. Hoc ipsum, velle arripere hanc causam ad denegandam gratiam ulteriorem, est non-electionis sive reprobationis antecedaneae manifestum argumentum. Nam quos Deus non reprobavit, eos quamvis multa obstacula ponentes, et sua multiplici negligentia et resistentia gratiae obtationem promerentes, ex indebita tamen et speciali misericordia iterum iterumque urget, nec desistit donec eos regeneraverit et gratiae suae subjugaverit.
