Disputation — Bontempi, Palladium Theologicum V · from Schola Thomistica
Disputation X: On the Temptation of God
SINCE God has bestowed prudence, and the other virtues together with their due instruments, on man for this end, that he not commit himself to divine providence drowsily, but that he himself also diligently cooperate, he will be accused of tempting God if he presumes that he shall attain his end without those means: Hence the Archontici were held as Heretics, because they believed that grace was to be infused into themselves without the sacraments, and other means; as Baronius has, anno 175.
CUM Deus prudentiam, aliasque virtutes cum debitis organis, eo fine homini contulerit, ut non oscitanter ita divinae se committat providentiae, quin et ipse sedulus cooperetur, Deum tentare arguetur, si absque illis mediis, se suum finem assequuturum praesumat: Hinc pro Haereticis habiti sunt Archontici, eo quod sine sacramentis, aliisque mediis sibi gratiam infundendam crederent; ut habet Baronius, anno 175.
