§. 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.
§. 14. The effects in respect to which Grace is called efficacious are, 1. The Giving of the Means themselves. 2. The first Impress on the soul. 3. The altering of the souls Disposition. 4. The production of the act. 5. And of the Habit. And it must be some of these effects which are called efficacious or inefficacious to others. So that by that time the state of the Question is truly opened, this which Dr. Twice saith Arminius durst never speak out his opinion of, and which he and others make to be the very heart of all these Controversies, perhaps will appear to be nothing.
