Cap. IX Arg. 9 Sol close: creating Judas the reprobate is not creating him that he may be damned — as feeding a thief sentenced to die is not feeding him that he may die
God is rightly said to act for some intended end when he gives things a nature ordered to that end. But in creating Judas God did not give him a nature ordained to damnation. So it is false to hold that the creation of Judas the reprobate has this intention — that it be a medium advanced toward damnation. It is one thing to create a man reprobate and to be damned for his demerits; another to create him that he may be damned — as it is one thing to feed, clothe, and comfort a thief sentenced to die, another to do those things that he may die.
Latin
Deum recte dici agere propter intentum aliquem finem, cum rebus talem dat naturam ut sint propter talem finem: Deus autem creando Judam non dedit illi naturam ad damnationem ordinatam: Falso igitur statuitur creatio Judae reprobati habere hanc intentionem, ut medium sit quod ad damnationem provehatur. Aliud enim est creare hominem reprobatum et ob demerita sua damnandum, aliud creare ut damnetur; sicut aliud est alere, vestire, solari latronem damnandum, aliud haec facere ut damnetur.
