Cap. X Arg. X / Corvinus: Contra Tilen. p.148 — not ‘God does not give, therefore he never willed to give,’ but ‘he wills gifts only to the little and obedient’
Corvinus’s reply (Contra Tilenum, p. 148) is of no weight. It does not follow, he says, that because God does not give this man faith, perseverance, or salvation, therefore he never willed to give them—but rather this: God wills those gifts only to the little, to those who labor and do the Father’s will. So this man did not receive them because he was not such—namely by his own fault.
Latin
Nullius momenti est quod huic argumento respondetur a Corvino, Contra Tilen. pag. 148. Non sequitur, inquit, Deus huic non dat fidem aut perseverantiam aut salutem, Ergo non voluit ei dare fidem, perseverantiam aut salutem: sed hoc potius; Deus non vult dare praedicta dona nisi parvulis, laborantibus et voluntatem Patris facientibus. Ergo huic data haec dona non fuerunt, quia talis non fuit, culpa scilicet sua.
