Prevenient and subsequent, leading and accompanying; sufficient and efficacious deferred
Thesis LXX. Some other divisions of grace coincide with those already given and differ little or not at all from them, as when grace is divided into prevenient and subsequent, and into leading and accompanying.
By leading and prevenient grace the theologians mean the same grace they call rousing and operating, and by accompanying or subsequent grace the grace otherwise called assisting or cooperating. The grace that rouses us to good, and to that extent works in us without us, also goes before us; the grace that helps us in the actual working and cooperates with us is held to accompany our wills in doing good, and comes after that first grace.
Some, however, look for certain subtle distinctions among these divisions of grace, but recounting and mentioning them would not do much for our purpose.
What chiefly remains to be considered here is the well-known division of grace into sufficient and efficacious. But since a careful account of it calls for a longer inquiry, it has seemed best to put it off to the next disputation.
Latin
LXX. Porro cum jam allatis gratiae divisionibus coincidunt aliae quaedam, quae parum aut nihil ab iis differunt. Ut quum gratia dividitur in gratiam praevenientem & in gratiam subsequentem: & in ducentem atque comitantem. Nam per gratiam ducentem atque praevenientem Theologi intelligunt illam eandem quam excitantem & operantem vocant: & per gratiam comitantem sive subsequentem, illam quae alias dicitur adjuvans, sive cooperans. Etenim illa gratia quae nos ad bonum excitat, & eatenus in nobis sine nobis operatur, eadem nos quoque praevenit: quae vero nos adjuvat in actuali operatione, nobisque cooperatur, eadem voluntates nostras in bene agendo censetur comitari, & priorem illam gratiam subsequitur. Nonnulli tamen quaedam subtilia discrimina inter hasce gratiae divisiones quaerunt, sed quae referre & commemorare non multum facit ad nostrum institutum. Quod potissimum hic considerandum restat, est celebris illa gratiae divisio in sufficientem atque efficacem: sed quia accurata ejus expositio res est longioris disquisitionis, in proximam disputationem illam differre visum est.
