Cap. X Ultimum Propos. 1.III: not Augustine alone — Milevis can. 4, African exiles, Orange can. 4 preach creating/vivifying grace that works both to will and to do
Someone will say this was Augustine’s private view, pulled in by absolute predestination. No: it was common to all the Orthodox, as the anti-Pelagian councils show. Milevis canon 4: By Christ’s grace it is granted us that what we know ought to be done, we also love and can do. A little later: Both are God’s gift—to know what we ought to do, and to love so that we do. The synodical letter of the African bishops exiled in Sardinia is the same: God commands a man to will, but the Lord works in the man also to will; he commands to do, but works also to do. In quickening men God waits for no start of the human will; he quickens by making the good will itself. Orange canon 4 is clear: If anyone contends God waits for our will so we may be purged from sin, and does not confess that even our willing to be purged is wrought in us by the Spirit’s infusion and working, he resists the Holy Spirit speaking through Solomon, The will is prepared by the Lord, and the Apostle, It is God who works in us both to will and to finish according to his good will.
Latin
Sed dixerit aliquis, Haec fuit singularis Augustini sententia, in quam absolutae praedestinationis opinio eum pertraxit. Imo fuit omnium Orthodoxorum communis, ut ex Conciliis contra Pelagium et Semipelagianos celebratis constat. Ex Milevitano, canone 4, Per gratiam Christi nobis praestatur, ut quod faciendum cognoverimus, etiam facere diligamus atque valeamus. Paulo post, Utrumque donum Dei est, et scire quid facere debeamus, et diligere ut faciamus. Ex Epistola Synodica Episcoporum Africanorum in Sardinia exsulum idem patet: Jubet Deus homini ut velit, sed Dominus in homine operatur et velle: jubet ut faciat, sed operatur et facere. Deus in vivificandis hominibus nullum initium humanae voluntatis exspectat, sed ipsam voluntatem bonam faciendo vivificat. Demum ex Concilio Arausicano idem liquet; canone 4, Si quis, ut a peccato purgemur, voluntatem nostram Deum exspectare contendit, non autem ut etiam purgari velimus per Sancti Spiritus infusionem et operationem in nos fieri confitetur, resistit ipsi Spiritui Sancto per Solomonem dicenti, Praeparatur voluntas a Domino, et Apostolo salubriter praedicanti, Deus est qui operatur in nobis et velle et perficere pro bona sua voluntate.
