Theological Theses · §2292 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

How then can they require regenerating grace for every good work and condemn Trent?

Thesis XXXII. So if, by the Protestants' own doctrine and admission, some good works precede a man's regeneration and justification, how can they hold that the very grace by which we are regenerated and justified is necessary for every good work?

And how can they condemn the canon of the Council of Trent that pronounces anathema on those who say that all works done before justification, in whatever way they are done, are truly sins?

Latin

XXXII. Si ergo bona opera nonnulla, ex ipsa Protestantium Doctrina & confessione, antecedunt hominis regenerationem & justificationem, quomodo statuere possunt gratiam ipsam qua regeneramur atque justificamur necessariam esse ad quodvis opus bonum, & damnare canonem Concilii Tridentini, quo anathema pronunciatur in eos qui dicunt opera omnia quae ante justificationem fiunt, quacunque ratione facta sint, vere esse peccata?
