First Hunnian falsehood: faith as a prerequisite quality in those to be elect, not Augustine's means decreed with salvation
The first falsehood of the Hunnians was this: as if those who follow Augustine's doctrine want an election absolute from the means — apart from any regard to faith and perseverance, which are fitting means on our side. In fact these do not deny an election founded on Christ's merit as the means of execution — that is, made with a view to Christ's merit as the meritorious cause of life and salvation. But for Hunnius and his party, faith was treated as a prerequisite condition in those to be elect, as an antecedent cause, as a quality of those to be chosen. For Augustine and those who vote with him, it is a required condition in the elect, decreed for them together with salvation, as a means to salvation and a necessary quality of those who are to be saved — whence they are said to be saved and justified through faith, in Christ, that is, through Christ.
Latin
ΠΡΩΤΟΝ Hunnianorum ψεῦδος fuit, quasi sequentes doctrinam Augustini velint electionem absolutam à mediis; citra intuitum fidei & perseverantiæ, quæ media sunt congrua ex parte nostri; Sic nec negant hi Electionem fundatam in merito Christi, ut medio executionis, id est, factam intuitu meriti Christi, tanquam causæ meritoriæ Vitæ & salutis; Sed Hunnio cum suis considerata fides fuit ut conditio prærequisita in eligendis, ut causa antecedens, ut qualitas eligendorum; Quæ Augustino & ὁμοψήφοις est conditio requisita in electis, simul iis cum salute decreta, tanquam medium ad salutem, & necessaria qualitas servandorum, undè dicantur servari, justificari per fidem, in Christo, id est, per Christum.
