Cap. X Ultimum Propos. 2 open: this Grace of Christ was prepared from eternity and given in time to some, to others neither — event proves; ‘given to all but not all receive’ fails
I pass to the second: This grace of Christ was prepared from eternity and given in time to some; to others neither prepared nor given. Few words are needed—the thing speaks. From the event we see that efficacious grace is not given to all; and that for those never given it, it was never prepared from God’s eternal good pleasure, is beyond doubt. Who is so witless as to say faith and charity are given and infused to all, or a good will created in all, or perseverance and glory granted to all? Nor does the dodge hold: God gives these to all, but all do not receive. Whoever God has given a good will, faith, charity, perseverance is presumed to have received them all. Gifts are said to be given not to those who lack them, but to those who enjoy them.
Latin
Transeo ad secundam: Ea fuit hujusmodi; Haec gratia Christi quibusdam praeparata fuit ab aeterno et donata in tempore, quibusdam nec praeparata nec donata. Hic multis verbis haud opus est, nam res ipsa loquitur. Videmus siquidem ex eventu non dari omnibus praedictam gratiam efficacem; et quibus nunquam fuit data, iis ex aeterno Dei beneplacito nunquam fuisse praeparatam, extra omnem dubitationis aleam ponendum est. Quis autem tam excors ut dicat fidem et charitatem omnibus donari et infundi? aut bonam voluntatem in omnibus creari? aut perseverantiam et gloriam omnibus concedi? Neque hic locum habere potest illa exceptio, Deus haec dat omnibus; sed omnes non accipiunt. Nam cuicunque data est a Deo bona voluntas, fides, charitas, perseverantia, ille haec omnia accepisse praesumitur. Donata enim dicuntur, non illis qui talibus donis carent, sed qui iisdem gaudent.
