Theological Theses · §2436 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

The Reformed admit infused habits; the charge against them is unjust

Thesis XLVII. Next, it is clear from what was set out earlier that the doctors of the Reformed school admit certain divinely infused virtues and certain gifts of saving grace that exist in the soul as a habit and permanent quality.

So the theologians of the Roman communion unjustly charge them with denying that there is any habitual grace that is a quality inhering in the soul, since few or none of the doctors of the Reformed Church deny it.

Latin

XLVII. Deinde planum est ex iis quae fuerunt ante exposita, Scholae Reformatae Doctores admittere virtutes quasdam divinitus infusas, & dona quaedam gratiae salvificae, quae sint in anima per modum habitus & qualitatis permanentis: adeoque immerito a Theologis Romanae communionis illis imputari, quod negent dari gratiam aliquam habitualem, & quae sit qualitas in anima inhaerens; cum istud ab Ecclesiae Reformatae Doctoribus vel nullis, vel paucis negetur.
