better_o inform_v about_o the_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o they_o and_o the_o jansenist_n concern_v what_o they_o call_v actual_a grace_n i_o address_v myself_o to_o the_o good_a father_n

a_o particular_a affection_n for_o the_o curious_a take_v the_o definition_n of_o it_o by_o actual_a grace_n we_o mean_v a_o inspiration_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o discover_v his_o will_n unto_o we_o and_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o a_o desire_n to_o accomplish_v it_o and_o what_o controversy_n say_v i_o do_v this_o breed_n between_o you_o and_o the_o jansenist_n this_o reply_v he_o that_o we_o will_v have_v god_n bestow_v actual_a grace_n on_o all_o man_n in_o every_o particular_a temptation_n for_o we_o hold_v that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o in_o every_o temptation_n that_o actual_a grace_n to_o restrain_v he_o from_o sin_v what_o sin_n soever_o he_o may_v commit_v can_v be_v impute_v to_o he_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o jansenist_n affirm_v that_o sin_n commit_v without_o this_o

have_v i_o now_o express_v myself_o home_n i_o be_v not_o a_o little_a astonish_v at_o the_o discourse_n which_o grant_v all_o sin_n of_o surprise_n and_o all_o commit_v out_o of_o a_o pure_a

shadow_n of_o death_n do_v it_o not_o sufficient_o convince_v you_o that_o your_o principle_n be_v erroneous_a to_o see_v that_o saint_n paul_n call_v himself_o the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n for_o a_o

the_o pardon_n he_o beg_v for_o they_o though_o they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o the_o malice_n of_o their_o action_n and_o that_o according_a to_o saint_n paul_n they_o have_v never_o do_v it_o if_o

their_o endeavour_n to_o ruin_v it_o enough_o to_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o this_o sin_n which_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n be_v the_o great_a may_v be_v commit_v by_o such_o as_o be_v so_o far_o from_o know_v they_o offend_v that_o they_o believe_v they_o shall_v if_o they_o do_v it_o not_o in_o a_o word_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o that_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o have_v teach_v

that_o it_o often_o happen_v notwithstanding_o a_o vigilant_a sobriety_n they_o sacrifice_v that_o to_o pleasure_v which_o they_o think_v to_o have_v bestow_v only_o on_o necessity_n as_o saint_n augustine_n acknowledge_v of_o himself_o in_o his_o confession_n how_o ordinary_a be_v it_o to_o see_v even_o the_o most_o zealous_a transport_v with_o passion_n &_o bitterness_n in_o dispute_n

so_o out_o of_o a_o tenderness_n to_o truth_n and_o they_o themselves_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o it_o till_o a_o long_a time_n after_o but_o what_o will_v be_v say_v of_o those_o who_o be_v violent_o incline_v to_o thing_n real_o bad_a as_o believe_v they_o real_o good_a whereof_o we_o have_v many_o instance_n in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a history_n which_o yet_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o as_o the_o father_n hold_n they_o have_v sin_v in_o those_o occasion_n moreover_o this_o not_o grant_v how_o can_v the_o righteous_a be_v guilty_a of_o secret_a sin_n how_o shall_v it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n alone_o know_v their_o greatness_n and_o number_n insomuch_o that_o no_o man_n know_v whether_o he_o deserve_v love_n or_o hatred_n and_o that_o the_o great_a saint_n shall_v

and_o love_v the_o contrary_a virtue_n since_o the_o earnestness_n of_o impious_a person_n in_o their_o vice_n sufficient_o discover_v they_o have_v not_o the_o least_o inclination_n to_o virtue_n and_o that_o the_o affection_n which_o the_o righteous_a have_v for_o virtue_n argue_v very_o much_o that_o they_o have_v not_o always_o a_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sin_n they_o daily_o commit_v as_o

how_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o those_o sublimate_v soul_n which_o with_o so_o much_o ardour_n and_o aversion_n shun_v the_o least_o thing_n that_o may_v displease_v god_n as_o soon_o as_o
