The claim to square with predestination too

Thesis CXXXIX. Lastly, those who hold this opinion pride themselves that the efficacy of grace, as they explain it, fits perfectly not only with the freedom of human choice but also with the certainty of divine predestination. On this view predestination achieves its effect through aids that can in themselves be rejected, yet are so suited to the will's temper that, in line with God's foreknowledge, they will take effect infallibly.

Latin

CXXXIX. Denique gloriantur qui sunt in hac opinione, gratiae efficaciam sic a se expositam, non solum cum arbitrii humani libertate, optime consistere; sed etiam cum certitudine divinae praedestinationis. Quandoquidem secundum illam, praedestinatio habet suum effectum, per auxilia quidem in se repudiabilia; ita tamen genio voluntatis accommodata, ut juxta praescientiam Dei, effectum infallibiliter sint habitura.
