Cap. X Arg. VIII: Augustine stops Pelagians/Semipelagians with elect/reprobate infants; De praed. sanct. 12 and De bono pers. 11 — God helps those little ones he chose before the world
From this argument—election of some infants, reprobation of others—Augustine everywhere stops the mouths of Pelagians and Semipelagians, who traced the divide of elect and those not chosen to foreseen acts of human wills, good or evil, as the Arminians ss to pile up all his witnesses on this point. See De praedestinatione sanctorum 12 and De bono perseverantiae 11, where he expressly asserts: God helps the little ones he wills, even when they are not willing or running—those he chose before the foundation of the world; those he does not will, he does not help, of whom in his predestination he judged otherwise, secretly but justly.
Latin
Hoc argumento ab infantium quorundam electione, quorundam reprobatione, petito Augustinus passim obstruit ora Pelagianorum et Semipelagianorum, qui hoc discrimen electorum et non-electorum ad praevisos actus humanarum voluntatum sive bonos sive malos revocarunt, sicuti et Arminiani jam revocant. Infinitum esset omnia Augustini testimonia in hanc sententiam accumulare. Videte De Praed. Sanct. cap. 12, De bono persev. cap. 11. ubi diserte asserit, Deus parvulis, quibus vult, etiam non volentibus neque currentibus subvenire; quos scilicet ante constitutionem mundi elegit; quibus vero non vult non subvenire, de quibus in sua praedestinatione occulte quidem, sed juste aliud judicavit.
