Cap. X Arg. IX: objection — angelic preterition is mere denial of undue benefit, but human reprobation is true punishment from foreseen unbelief — refuted by distinguishing decrees about the fallen
If someone objects that in angels this reprobation was not torment but bare denial of an not owededed benefit—and so needs no antecedent foresight of rebellion as its motive—yet in men it is true punishment properly so called, and must therefore be fetched from foresight of unbelief and perseverance in it: that is easily answered. About fallen man, bound in sins and at last to be punished for them, the decrees of the divine will is varied and must be considered from different perspectives.
Latin
Quod si quis obtendat, In Angelis quidem hanc reprobationem non habuisse rationem supplicii, sed fuisse nudam negationem indebiti beneficii, atque idcirco haud requirere antecedaneam praevisionem rebellionis tanquam causam ejus motivam, in hominibus autem esse veram et proprie dictam poenam, atque eapropter ex praevisione infidelitatis et perseverantiae in eadem necessario arcessendam, id facile refellitur. Nam circa hominem lapsum et peccatis constrictum, atque tandem propter peccata puniendum, decreta divinae voluntatis diversa, et sub diversis respectibus possunt et debent considerari.
