Not immediate power against every temptation — at least mediate via prayer

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Likewise: not immediate sufficiency against every sin and temptation for all.

Only mediate power to avoid and overcome.

Many with present help still lose unless God adds greater help.

Yet they keep at least prayer-help to ask God for the grace then needed.

Latin

VII. Imo neque volunt omnibus hominibus gratiam dari quae sit immediate sufficiens ad peccata vitanda, & tentationes vincendas, sed eam tantum qua possint, mediate saltem, peccata vitare, & tentationes vincere. Agnoscunt, videlicet, multos cum auxilio praesenti impares esse tentationi vincendae, & ni Deus majus auxilium addat, certo fore ut pravae cupiditati succumbant: sed contendunt illis saltem non deesse auxilium quo Deum orare possint, & gratiam tum illis necessariam ab ipso impetrare.
