Chamier’s ‘all the justified have this faith’ proof proves too much — election parallel
Chamier’s escape: faith “justifies” because every justified person eventually has this faith, and no one has it who is not justified.
Le Blanc: that proves too much — by the same logic we could say we are elected to grace through faith and good works, since every elect person eventually has them, and no one has them who is not elect.
Latin
CIV. Nec tollit difficultatem quod dicit Chamierus, fidem dici justificare, quia omnes justificati, tandem ejus participes fiunt; nec in ullo reperitur qui non sit justificatus. Nam sic quoque dici possemus per fidem & bona opera electi esse ad gratiam: quia in omnibus electis ad gratiam reperiuntur tandem fides & bona opera, nec fides & bona opera in ullo reperiuntur, qui non sit etiam ad gratiam electus.
