Cap. X Arg. X: Corvinus’s ‘only to the little and obedient’ fails — same question returns; if God willed humility for Judas as for Peter, both would have it
What Corvinus adds—that it only follows God wills those goods to the little and obedient, so Judas lacked them by his own fault—fails first: the same question returns about that littleness and obedience that was asked about faith and salvation. Why did God not give Judas the littleness and obedience he gave Peter? Had he willed to give alike to both, it would have stood alike in both. When God wills to plant humility or littleness in the human will, no free will resists—such a will is not resisted, because willing not to resist is worked in the man himself; the will resists no further once willing to resist is taken away.
Latin
Quod autem subjungit Corvinus, id solum sequi, Deum non velle dare praedicta bona nisi parvulis et obedientibus, atque idcirco non fuisse data Judae, quia sua culpa talis non fuit; primo non valet; quia eadem quaestio adhuc manet de hac parvitate et obedientia, quae mota fuit de fide et salute. Quaero enim cur Deus non dederit hanc parvitatem et obedientiam Judae quam dedit Petro. Si voluisset pariter dare utrique, in utroque pariter exstitisset. Nam Deo volenti bonam humilitatis aut parvitatis qualitatem indere humanae voluntati, nullum resistit hominis arbitrium: Tali equidem voluntati non resistitur, quia velle non resistere in ipso homine operatur: Non enim ultra resistit voluntas cui velle resistere sublatum est.
