S. Clara saith, Aestimo esse omnium Scholasticorum, non dari ex parte peccatoris ullam causam meritoriam, dispositionem, aut conditionem ad primam gratiam. For which he citeth August. P. Innoc. 1. ad Concil. Carth. Concil. Arausic. 2. can. 3, 4, 5. Concil. Trident. Sess. 6. c. 5. concluding, Et sine dubio hoc est de fide apud omnes Catholicos Doctores, nec ullus unquam oppositum tenuit. Et Bradward. optimus divinae Gratiae propugnator dicit expresse—esse Pelagianismum, licet intelligeretur solùm de merito de congruo. Yea Aquinas denieth all merit de congruo as to Justifying grace, 1. 2. q. 14. a. 7. & in Rom. c. 4. Vega's judgement is commonly known. See Carthusian in Jac. 2. &c. I may conclude then with S. Clara, that Cassander spake not unreasonably when he said, [Quo sensu hoc vocabulo Meriti & Merendi usi sunt Patres & Catholici, obscurum non est, nempe ut per illud gratiae Dei ex qua merita omnia oriuntur, nihil detrahatur. Quare nil est cur aut Ecclesiastici à loquendi forma & sententia in Ecclesia jam olim usitata discedant, aut Protestantes eam tam odiosè repudient aut condemnent.] And that Bucer said well, colloq. Ratisb. [Si sancti patres aut alii intelligunt Promereri, facere ex fide gratiae dei bona opera quibus Deus mercedem promisit; hoc sensu usurpare illud verbum minimè damnabimus.]
