3 1, 23 | providence, we must treat of ~predestination and the book of life. Concerning
4 1, 23 | book of life. Concerning predestination there are ~eight points
5 1, 23 | of inquiry:~(1) Whether predestination is suitably attributed to
6 1, 23 | attributed to God?~(2) What is predestination, and whether it places anything
7 1, 23 | 4) On the comparison of predestination to election; whether, that
8 1, 23 | are the cause or reason of predestination, or ~reprobation, or election?~(
9 1, 23 | 6) of the certainty of predestination; whether the predestined
10 1, 23 | is certain?~(8) Whether predestination can be furthered by the
11 1, 23 | by God; and ~thus man's predestination is done away.~Aquin.: SMT
12 1, 23 | beatitude, as well as men. But ~predestination is not suitable to angels,
13 1, 23 | unhappiness (miseria); for predestination, as Augustine says (De ~
14 1, 23 | predestined by God, since predestination is a ~benefit from God,

23 1, 23 | Thes. Para. 1/1~Whether predestination places anything in the predestined?~
24 1, 23 | 1 ~OBJ 1: It seems that predestination does place something in
25 1, 23 | causes passion. If therefore ~predestination is action in God, predestination
26 1, 23 | predestination is action in God, predestination must be passion in the ~
27 1, 23 | predestined," etc. ~(Rm. 1:4): "Predestination is of one who is not; destination,
28 1, 23 | Praed. Sanct.): "What is predestination but ~the destination of
29 1, 23 | of one who is?" Therefore predestination is only of one ~who actually
30 1, 23 | the thing prepared. But ~predestination is the preparation of God'
31 1, 23 | Sanct. ii, 14). Therefore predestination is something in the ~predestined.~
32 1, 23 | found in the definition of ~predestination. For predestination is the
33 1, 23 | of ~predestination. For predestination is the preparation of grace
34 1, 23 | in the future. Therefore predestination is not ~anything eternal.
35 1, 23 | Praed. Sanct. ii, 14) that ~"predestination is the foreknowledge of
36 1, 23 | foreknows them. Therefore, predestination is in the one who predestines, ~
37 1, 23 | Para. 1/1~I answer that, Predestination is not anything in the predestined;
38 1, 23 | We have said above that ~predestination is a part of providence.
39 1, 23 | Whence it is clear that predestination is a ~kind of type of the
40 1, 23 | in God. The execution of ~predestination is the calling and magnification;

42 1, 23 | thing which does not ~exist. Predestination, however, by reason of the

44 1, 23 | all eternity ~prepared by predestination, conceiving the idea of
45 1, 23 | come into the definition of predestination, ~as something belonging

50 1, 23 | said above (A[1]) ~that predestination is a part of providence.
51 1, 23 | called ~reprobation. Thus, as predestination is a part of providence,
52 1, 23 | A[1]). Therefore, as ~predestination includes the will to confer

56 1, 23 | 1 Tim. 2:4). Therefore, predestination which ordains ~men towards
57 1, 23 | Para. 1/1~I answer that, Predestination presupposes election in
58 1, 23 | reason of this is that ~predestination, as stated above (A[1]),
59 1, 23 | already exists. Whence the predestination of some to eternal ~salvation
60 1, 23 | and election precedes ~predestination. Whence all the predestinate
61 1, 23 | of merits is the cause of predestination?~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[23] A[
62 1, 23 | merits is the cause of ~predestination. For the Apostle says (Rm.

64 1, 23 | 1~OBJ 2: Further, Divine predestination includes the divine will,

68 1, 23 | not the cause or reason of predestination.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[23] A[
69 1, 23 | 1/4~I answer that, Since predestination includes will, as was said

74 1, 23 | held that the effect of predestination ~was pre-ordained for some
75 1, 23 | cause of the effect of predestination. For the Pelagians taught
76 1, 23 | about that the effect of predestination was granted to one, ~and

81 1, 23 | considered as the reason of ~predestination, since it is contained in

175 3, 24 | Whether it is the cause of our predestination?~Aquin.: SMT TP Q[24] A[
176 3, 24 | For ~the term of anyone's predestination seems to be the adoption
177 3, 24 | but by nature: whereas ~predestination regards what is of grace,
178 3, 24 | was predestinated; since predestination implies a certain ~antecedence.
179 3, 24 | the FP, Q[23], ~AA[1],2, predestination, in its proper sense, is
180 3, 24 | falls under the eternal predestination of God. For this ~reason
181 3, 24 | Apostle there speaks of that predestination by which we ~are predestinated
182 3, 24 | 4, some understood that predestination to refer to the nature ~
183 3, 24 | Hence we must attribute predestination to the Person of Christ:
184 3, 24 | improper signification of ~predestination. For a person is properly
185 3, 24 | predestinated to be: since God's predestination does not fail. If, ~therefore,
186 3, 24 | things may be considered in predestination. One on ~the part of eternal

190 3, 24 | of view we must say that predestination is ascribed to Christ by
191 3, 24 | of human nature alone can predestination be ~attributed to Christ.
192 3, 24 | regards what comes under ~predestination materially, and thus it
193 3, 24 | that is, forasmuch as predestination implies antecedence and
194 3, 24 | gratuitous ~effect. And thus predestination belongs to Christ by reason
195 3, 24 | principles. In this manner predestination is not befitting ~either
196 3, 24 | of human ~nature; because predestination refers to the exaltation

198 3, 24 | Para. 1/1~Whether Christ's predestination is the exemplar of ours?~
199 3, 24 | would seem that Christ's predestination is not the exemplar of ~
