XXI. I take it to be the commendation of Jansenius, that he renounceth the Dominicans Physical Efficient Predetermining Premotion, as naturally necessary to all actions natural and free. But his habitation, converse and worldly interest tempted him factiously to calumniate Calvin, lest he himself should become odious with his own party, and so miss of his expected success; which hath prevailed also with Gibieuf, Arnoldus and most other Papists to do the like, when they differ from their Brethren.
XXII. He well saith, that Permission of the first sin is no effect of Reprobation: But his ordination of Gods acts into [this Before and that After] and so his differencing the Election of Angels and men, I fear hath somewhat in it presumptuous and unproved.
In conclusion, I much mislike in Jansenius, 1. His contempt of the Sacred Scriptures, as being not properly Christs Laws, but some odd occasional Writings, his Laws being only in the heart and tradition.
