The eighth Crimination.
C. They make many Elections or Decrees where God maketh but one. *As an Election to Glory, and another to Justification, and another to Faith and Conversion, and another to have the Gospel, and another to be redeemed by a sufficient satisfaction of Christ, and another to be made men. And so vary the Objects.
- *These are but contentions de nomine; as Vasquez truly saith about Durandus Opinion, who 1. d. 41. q 2. n. 11. concurring with other School-men, that the question de causa praedestinationis, is meant only ex parte effectus, & de toto effectu, an scilicet totius effectus detur aliqua causa opposeth Ockam & Gabr. therein, on the supposition that glorification is no effect of Predestination, but the means to it. And that because Predestination is as prudence in a man, which is only circa media, which saith Vasquez, dis. 91. c. 4. non tam rei, quam vocis quaestio est. So also Bonaventure and Jave differ from others, and say, that Praedestinationis (quoad effectum) datur meritum congruum ex auxili• gratiae. But its a mere strife about a word, while they take Predestination as reaching only to Justification, Perseverance and Glorification; and others take it as extending also to preparatory Grace, as Vasqu. also noteth, disp. 91. cap. 5.These are but contentions de nomine; as Vasquez truly saith about Durandus Opinion, who 1. d. 41. q 2. n. 11. concurring with other School-men, that the question de causa praedestinationis, is meant only ex parte effectus, & de toto effectu, an scilicet totius effectus detur aliqua causa opposeth Ockam & Gabr. therein, on the supposition that glorification is no effect of Predestination, but the means to it.
