All Protestants condemn the view that every precept can be kept without grace

Thesis XLVIII. But there is no Protestant who does not condemn what some in the Roman School have taught: that each and every precept of the moral law can be kept without the grace of Christ as to the substance, or matter, of the work.

For, as we saw above, the Protestants except from this certain precepts that concern inward acts of the mind, such as the precept not to covet and the precept to love God above all things.

Latin

XLVIII. Verum nullus est apud Protestantes qui non damnet quod quidam in Schola Romana docuerunt, omnia, nempe, & singula legis moralis praecepta, quoad operis substantiam, sive materiam, posse sine Christi gratia servari. Ab hoc enim numero eximunt Protestantes, ut supra vidimus, praecepta quaedam quae spectant actus animi internos, quale est praeceptum de non concupiscendo, & de Deo supra omnia diligendo.
