Is God's converting action only moral?
Thesis XXIX. To make their mind on the force and efficacy of divine grace clearer still, they raise many questions and answer them briefly and precisely. 'If we are asked,' they say, 'whether God's converting action is only moral, working by urging, setting before, inviting, we answer that it is more than moral.
If we look at stirring grace, we say that a supernatural power, distinct from enlightening, is poured into the will itself as well; if at cooperating grace, we say that it can be called physical and has a real and proper efficiency.'
Latin
XXIX. Verum ut clarius adhuc mentem suam explicent circa gratiae Divinae vim & efficaciam, multas quaestiones movent, ad quas breviter & distincte respondent. Si quaeratur ex nobis, inquiunt, An Dei convertentis actio tantum moralis sit suadendo, proponendo, invitando? Respondemus plusquam moralem esse, & si excitantem spectemus gratiam, dicimus in ipsam voluntatem quoque potentiam supernaturalem infundi distinctam ab illuminatione; si vero cooperantem, dicimus eam, Physicam vocari posse, & realem ac propriam habere efficientiam.
