sciamus Deum & velle opitulari & adesse luctantibus [Greek or Hebrew] (inquit Basilius) [Greek or Hebrew] Yet I presume no Arminian will conceive that Melanchthon did not acknowledge this very act of willing to be the work of God, considering the Apostle so expressly professeth, that God worketh in us both the Will and the deed, according to his good pleasure; and Leo Serm. 8. de Epiphan. Dubium non est hominem bona agentem ex Deo habere & effectum operis & initium volumatis: & Fulgentius Epist. 4. Ab ipso (Deo) est initium bonae voluntatis.

And truly I know (saith he) that these things do agree with yours, haec cum tuis congruere sed sunt [Greek or Hebrew], woven with a thicker thred, & ad usum accommodata Thus Melanchthon unto Calvin, having received his Books sent unto him, and written of Free-will and Predestination.
