Non praedestinat nisi quae fuerat ipse facturus, quae utique omnia bona & justa sunt; And Austine in like manner, de bono perseverantiae, cap. 17. In sua quae falli mutarique non potest praescientia, opera sua disponere, illud omnino nec aliud quicquid est praedestinare, so the Synod of Valens, Can: 3. Praedestinatione autem deum ea tantum statuisse (dicimus) quae ipse vel gratuitâ misericoràiâ, vel juslo judicio facturus erat. In malis verò ipsam malitiam praescisse quia ab ipsis est, non praedestinasse quia ab illo non est: And that for good reason, because, Malum non habet causam efficientem, sed deficientem, as Austine writes De Civit. Dei lib. 12. cap. 7. But as for this necessity in sinning, this both we and they willingly profess to flow from the sin of Adam, which God alone can cure in man and none other, as the same Remigius acknowledgeth Histor. Gottesca. pag. 3. Anima humana & voluntas humana sicut verè manet in morte non diligendo, ita verè transfertur de morte in vitam diligendo: But by whom is this translation wrought? that follows; hac dilectione non fit verè liberū arbitrium id est verè libera voluntas nisi illo liberante, id est libertatem largiente, qui ait, si vos filius liberaverit, tune verè liberi eritis, & nisi illo munere Spiritus Dei, de quo dicit Apostolus; ubi autem Spiritus ⟨p. 14⟩Domini, ibi libertas: By this love the will is not made free, but he freeing it, who saith, if the Son shall make you free, then shall ye be free indeed, and not otherwise then by the gift of the Spirit of God whereof the Apostle speaks, where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty; nay I am verily persuaded that Hincmarus himself against whom Remigius disputeth, is more Orthodox in this argument then this Author; for thus writes Hincmarus: as is to be seen in the same history of Gottescalchus. pag. 39. quosdam in Massa peccati & perditionis justè deseruit, à qua praedestinatione sua (id est in gratiae praeparatione) occulto (sed non injusto) judicio nequaquam eripuit; Some men God justly deserted in the Mass of sin and perdition; from which by his predestination, that is, preparation of grace, he never delivered by judgment secret, but not unjust, whereas this Author will have all men to be delivered from this Mass of sin and perdition;
