SECT. IX. Whether Gods Operations be equal on all?
§. 1. IF the question be ex parte Dei, it is absurd to make a question of it. For God is the same, whatever the diversity be in his *works. And Gods acts as in himself, are God. And there is no Virtue or Efflux from God, but what is a creature, or effect of God.
- *Of Preparation for Grace, Medina noteth three degrees of it: one which Grace ever followeth (which is it that our Divines mean by effectual Vocation) and this he saith, is never had but by Gods special help: (the other two are distant and common.) But that the Schoolmen of the other parties think otherwise he confesseth, and saith, In hac question Durand. Scot. & propemodum omnes Nominales, quos sequitur Adrian. Quodlib. 7. q. 4. tenet partem affirmativam, scilicet quod homo per s•as vires sine speciali auxilio Gratiae, potest se ad Gratiam praeparare, sic ut consequatur gratiam infallibiliter, & ex merito de congruo: D. Tho. tenet contrarium: Medin. ib. p. 593. But then by sufficiens praeparatio ad Gratiam, he meaneth Conversion it self, dimovere animum ab iniquitate, & st in Deum convertere; sicut convertere faciem ad solem, ut qui• illuminetur.Of Preparation for Grace, Medina noteth three degrees of it: one which Grace ever followeth (which is it that our Divines mean by effectual Vocation) and this he saith, is never had but by Gods special help: (the other two are distant and common.)
