The aid of prevenient grace distinguished from prevenient grace itself
Thesis CVII. Molina also distinguishes the aid of prevenient grace from prevenient grace itself. By prevenient grace he means the knowledge in the mind and the affections in the will that God sharpens and helps by a particular influence so that they become supernatural and, in their degree and order, what salvation requires.
By the aid of prevenient grace he means the supernatural influence by which God sharpens, helps and kindles that knowledge, mostly acquired by human means, and those affections, which, as described, rise purely by nature in the will once such knowledge is present. Through it they become supernatural and of the kind that serves man's eternal salvation.
Latin
CVII. Caeterum autor ille distinguit inter auxilium gratiae praevenientis, & inter gratiam ipsam praevenientem. Et quidem per gratiam praevenientem intelligit illas cognitiones mentis, & affectiones voluntatis, quas Deus influxu quodam particulari acuit & adjuvat, ut fiant supernaturales; & in gradu & ordine suo, quales ad salutem oportet. Per auxilium vero gratiae praevenientis intelligit influxum illum supernaturalem, quo Deus cognitiones istas, humana ut plurimum ratione acquisitas, & affectiones, posita ejusmodi cognitione mere naturaliter in voluntate insurgentes, quo modo dictum est, acuit, adjuvat & incendit, ut evadant supernaturales, & quales ad aeternam hominis salutem conducit.
