Cap. X Ultimum Propos. 1 open: Orthodox Grace of Christ is healing, regenerating, creating the good will—not merely illuminating, exciting, knocking
Setting the Major’s consequence aside, we will treat the three propositions we said the Orthodox settled by common consent against the Pelagians. First: by the Grace of Christ—which Pelagius never would confess—the Orthodox meant not a grace that only lights, stirs, and knocks, waiting to be let in by the human will, but a healing, quickening, regenerating grace that forces its own entrance—in a word, breathing in faith and charity and creating the good will itself anew. We will weigh three points: (1) what grace Pelagius finally acknowledged; (2) what he never would admit; (3) what the Fathers called the Grace of Christ by excellence, and to whose confession they meant to drive him.
Latin
Missa igitur Majoris consequentia, de tribus illis propositionibus, quas diximus communi Orthodoxorum consensu contra Pelagianos fuisse stabilitas, disseremus. Prima haec est: Orthodoxi per Gratiam Christi, quam Pelagius nunquam fateri voluit, intellexerunt non illuminantem, excitantem, pulsantem gratiam, et sese intromitti ab humana voluntate quasi petentem, sed sanantem, vivificantem, regenerantem, aditum sibi facientem, uno verbo, fidem et charitatem inspirantem, ac ipsam bonam voluntatem de novo creantem. Tria hic expendemus: 1. Qualem gratiam ipse Pelagius tandem agnoverit. 2. Qualem noluerit unquam admittere. 3. Qualis ea fuerit quam Patres gratiam Christi κατ' ἐξοχήν vocarunt, atque ad cujus confessionem Pelagium adigere voluerunt.
