The Remonstrants philosophize about grace like the Molinists

Thesis XXXV. Those in the Netherlands called Remonstrants or Arminians reason about grace in much the same way as the doctors of the Roman school now called Molinists.

For they use the distinctions of grace into rousing and assisting, prevenient and subsequent, and operating and cooperating grace, and in the same sense as those doctors. This can be seen in the Remonstrants' declaration of their opinion on the third and fourth articles, which is contained in their synod.

Latin

XXXV. Porro qui in Belgio Remonstrantes dicuntur sive Arminiani, de gratia eodem fere modo Philosophantur, atque illi ex Scholae Romanae Doctoribus qui Molinistae hodie appellantur. Utuntur enim distinctionibus gratiae in excitantem atque adjuvantem, praevenientem atque subsequentem, operantem & cooperantem eodem quo illi sensu, ut videre licet in declaratione sententiae Remonstrantium circa articulum tertium & quartum, quae habetur in eorum Synodo.
