Cap. X Ultimum Propos. 1.I cont.: Pelagius then grants internal illuminating and exciting grace by persuasion — still not healing the will
So Pelagius also granted internal grace—first illuminating, opening the mind’s eyes. His words in Augustine (De gratia Christi 7) are clear: God helps us by his teaching and revelation when he opens our heart’s eyes and lights us with heaven’s manifold, unspeakable gift. Second, he grants an internal grace that stirs the affections and tries to shake torpor from the will, by that illumination and by a prior secret persuasion. So ibid. 10: He works in us to will the good when he kindles us, given to earthly desires, with future glory’s greatness and the promise of rewards; when by wisdom’s revelation he raises the stunned will to desire God; when he persuades us of all that is good. That far Pelagius himself was led.
Latin
Agnovit igitur Pelagius et gratiam internam: Primo, illuminantem et aperientem oculos mentis. Clara sunt illa verba ejus apud Augustinum, De grat. Christi cap. 7. Adjuvat nos Deus per doctrinam et revelationem suam, dum cordis nostri oculos aperit, dum nos multiformi et ineffabili dono gratiae caelestis illuminat. Secundo, concedit gratiam internam excitantem affectus, et excutere conantem voluntati torporem suum, mediante illuminatione praedicta, et antecedente suasione quadam arcana. Huc spectant illa, Ibid. cap. 10. Operatur in nobis velle quod bonum est, dum nos terrenis cupiditatibus deditos futurae gloriae magnitudine et praemiorum pollicitatione accendit; dum revelatione sapientiae in desiderium Dei stupentem suscitat voluntatem; dum nobis suadet omne quod bonum est. Huc usque perductus est ipse Pelagius.
