§. 10. In these respects, though still Gods power in it self be Omnipotency, yet in the limited way of operation, it is various, 1. As Gods Will quoad terminos is various, 2. And as the means are various, 3. And ⟨p. 49⟩as the Receivers capacities are various. To one, the same operation ex parte Dei & mediorum (though not from the same Decree) is abundantly efficacious, and to another not.
§. 11. And thus God so limiteth the effect of his Power, as that it shall be effectual sometime on a Condition to be freely performed by man receiving it, even by a former help, and not absolutely.
§. 12. Therefore all that is Aptitudinally efficacious, is not actually efficient of every effect to which it was thus apt.
§. 13. The aptitudinal efficacy of the means being of God, falleth in with his ordinate power, herein, and is not the thing in question.
