Cap. X Arg. VII close: foresight-election leaves God’s promise, and whether Christ is Head with members, to free will — firmness is in predestination, not bare foresight
See the force of the argument: election and reprobation from foresight of human acts that contingently proceed or fail to proceed from the human will hands over to free will whether God’s promise will be fulfilled, whether Christ by his death will gain a church for himself or not—in a word, whether Christ will be a Head without members, a Redeemer without redeemed, a Savior without saved. All that has its firmness and infallible certainty in divine predestination and operation, not in bare foresight of what men will or will not do by free will.
Latin
Videtis vim argumenti; Electio et reprobatio ex praevisione actuum humanorum contingenter prodeuntium aut non-prodeuntium e voluntate humana, libero hominum arbitrio committit utrum Dei promissio implebitur necne, utrum Christus morte sua Ecclesiam aliquam sibi acquiret an secus, uno verbo, utrum Christus erit Caput sine membris, Redemptor sine redemptis, Servator sine servatis, necne, quae omnia in divina praedestinatione et operatione habent suam firmitatem et infallibilem certitudinem, non in nuda praevisione, quid homines pro libertate arbitrii sui acturi sint, aut non acturi.
