Faciiim is: to eosdem rescripla is ipsa responsio (Liber Aunu tini concerning Natura and grace); agenies gratias rescripserunt (Episl. at Auijuslin. now 1G8). Ulrunique misicadaver that not vivit, ani arbor qnas not senlit, aul pecus that not inlelligit; but bomines, who ct essemus, and viveremus, ei sentiremus, and intelligeremus; and concerning boc lanto benelieio creatori our gralias agere •' valeamus; from which merito and ista graiia dici poiest, because not praccedeniium aliquorum opernm meritis, but gratuita of God honitaie donata is: alia esi lamen, qua prxdcstinati vocamur, juslificamur, glorificamur, utdicerc possimus: if God for to us, who conlra we? who ftlio suo proprio not pepercit, but for to us omuibus tradidil illum (Rom. viu, 5). 8. concerning liac graiia quseslio verlcbatur, when ab liis, quos Pelagius graviter offemlebat alque lurbabal, dicebatur ei, that eam suis dispiilalionibns opB pugnaret, quibus assereret not solum to facienda, veruin also to perficienda mandata divine, through liberum arbilrium bumanam to himself sufficere naiuram.

An forle of God mandaliim decrat, and therefore Christ mortuus is? iiiinio jam el lioc was sancium el justum and bonum (Rom. vit, 12). Jam dicium fuemt, Noit concupisces (Exo<l. xx, 17); jam dictum fuerat, Diliges pioxiniunt tuiim lamquctin you ipsum (Levit. xix, 18 ). in quo sernmnc Aposiolus oinnem legcm says impleri (Rom xm, 9 ). Etquoniam unless diligat God, nemo diligii himself ipstim; therefore the Lord in his dnobus praeceptis tolam legem Prophetasque dicil pendere (Mutlh. xxn, 40). Qu;e duo pracepta jam crant bominihus divinitus dala. An aHernum prxmium justitbc promissum nondum was? this ipse not dicil, who in suis lilleris posnit, also in veleri Testamcnto regniim ccelorum to be promissum. if crgo to faciendam perficiendamque juslitiam jam crat nattira; possibililas through liberum arbilrium, jam was lcgis of God sancium and jiistnm boniinique mandatum, jani t rat promissum praemium sempiternum: therefore Clirislus graiis mortuus cst. 11. therefore nor through legem jusiiiia, nor through naItirac possibilitatem; but from in faith ac dono of God through Jesum Chrislum the Lord our iiniiiu mediatorem of God el homimmi. who unless in plenitudine lemporis morluiis esset propier delicta noslra, and resurrexisset because of jusiilicationem nostram (Rom. iv, 25); profecto and anliquorum lides evacuarelur, and nostia. in faith vero evacuaia, qua; hoinini justiiia remaneat, when justus from fule vivat ( Hcb. x, 58; Rum. i, 17)? from quo for through uniini man peccatum inlravit in muudiini, and through peccatum death, ct iia in umnes liomines pertransiil, in quo oinnes peccaverunt (Rom. v, 12): procul dubio a coriiore mortis bujiis, where law *alia repugnat legi menlis (Rom. vn, 21 <'(24), nemiiicm liberavit or libcral b sua possibililas, qua; perdita, redemptore indiget; saucia, sal- \atore: but gralia of God through lidem uniiis medialoris of God and hominiini, hominis Chrisli Jesu ( I Tim. II, 5 ); who and God when esset, bominem did, el manens God, bomo factus refecit ipse that fccit. 12. Pulo aulcm that eum laleai, faith Clirisli, which postea in revelationem came, in occulio to have been lemporihiis pairum nostrorum; through quam tamcn ctiam ipsi of God grace liberati are, quiciimque omnilms generis humani temporibus liberari potueriint, occulto judicio of God, not lamen viluperabili. Undc says Apostolus: Habentes aittem eumdcm spiriMerl. and Crah., ncc ascendisset in altum and captivans; cdit. Rom. and Lab., nor ascendens in allum, caplivttns. Ilinc antiquario dala occasio secundis cnris in N;tvajreo ac forte in aliis addendi natura:. from which and in 5"8 tnni of the faith ( nlique eumdem, qucm el illi ) secundum quotl scriplum cst (II Cor. iv, 13 ), Credidi because of that locutus sum, and we we believe, propler that and loquinutr ( Psal. cxv, 1 ). Inde esl, that ail ipse niedialor: Abraham concupivit videre dicm meum; and vidit, el gavisus est(Joan. vm, 60). Inde Melchisedech, prolalo saeramenlo mensa; Dnminic»', novit xternum ejus sacerdotium Ggurare (Gen. xiv,18)..lam vero d;ita in litieris Lege, quam says Apostolus subinlrasse so that abundarel deliclum (Rom. v, 20), ct concerning qua says: Siergoe.c Lege heredilas, jtim not from promissione. Abraluv aulem through repromissionem donavit Veus. Quitt igilur law? Transgreisionis gralia j} tem unius not is, God aulem nnus is. law therefore atlversus promissa of God '! Absit. if cnim datci esset Le.t qutc possel vivijicare, entirely from Lege esset juslilia. Secl conclusit Scriptura all things under peccalo, so that promissioexf.de Jesu of Christ daretur credcntibus (Gulal. Hi, 18, seqq. ). Nonne saiis osienditur hnc actum to be through Lcgem, so that peccalum agnosceretur, elpraevaricalione augerelur? where for law not is, nor prtvvaricciiio ( Rom. iv, 15); and thus adversus victoriam peccati to divinam grace, quse in promissionibus is, confugereiur: aique ila law not essel adversus promissa of God, because therefore through illam fit cognitio peccati, el from prievaricnlione of the law abundanlia peccati, ul to liberatinnem quoerantur promissiones of God, that is graiia of God; el incipiat to be in bomine justiC tia, not sua, but of God, boc esi, dala dono of God. 13. Quam eliam nuncquidam, ignorantes of God jusliiiam, sicut and lunc concerning Judaeis dicium esl, and suam volentes constituere, justitiiv of God not sitnt subjecli (Rom. x, 3). through Legem qnippe and illi juslificari himself arbilranuir, sufficienle to himself to eam custodiendam libero arbitrio, this is, jusliiia sua prolata e\ natura bumana, nnn donata from grace divine, because of that jusiiiia of God diciiur. from which iiem scriplum is: through Lecjcm for cogniiio peccati. now moreover siyie Lege jnstitia of God manifestata is, teslificata through Legem and Prophetas (Rom. m, 21). when says manifestata cst, osiendit because and tnnc erai, scd tamquam that phrvia, quam Gedcon impetravil, then velul in vellere occulta, nuiic auieni velut iu nrea manifesta (Judic. D vi, 57). when therefore law without grace, not death peccaii potuisset to be, but virlus; thus for diciiun esi, AcuIrits mortis peccatum, virlus aulem peccati law ( I Cor. xv, 56): sicut confugiiint mulli a facie regnanlis peccati to grace, velui in area now palemem; iia pauci to eani confugiebant velut in vellere lunc lateniem.
