Many Roman School: eternal glory-election from foreseen merits.

Not merely post praevisa — also propter praevisa.

So the glory-decree itself is not simply gratuitous.

Latin

XX. Plurimi tamen Scholae Romanae Theologi in ea sunt sententia, non tantum in tempore gloriam dari ex meritis, sed aeternam ipsam praedestinationem, seu electionem hominis ad gloriam, factam esse ex praevisis meritis: ita ut, juxta ipsos, ipsum illud decretum quo Deus ab aeterno quibusdam hominibus gloriam destinavit, non sit simpliciter & mere gratuitum, sed factum sit non solum post praevisa hominis merita, verum etiam propter illa praevisa.
