(rod by the inward grace of the Spirit draweth not ; 8. And
that it is not in every one, no, not in any man s mere ability,
freedom, and power, to be saved ; no man s salvation being
possible without grace. Howbeit, God is no favourer of
sloth, and therefore there can be no such absolute decree
touching man s salvation, as on our part includeth no
necessity of care and travail, but shall certainly take effect,
whether we ourselves do wake or sleep. p. 752. The
difference between this statement and the Lambeth Articles
consists in an omission and insertion, softening the general
effect of the language, while the substantial ground is the
same. Thus the first Lambeth Article mentions reproba
tion, which the first article of this statement does not ; but
reprobation is implied in it. Again, the 7th Lambeth
c
Article says, Gratia salutaris non tribuitur universis hominibus
qua servari si
possint, voluerint. Hooker inserts
after is not given, desewedlyj which softens the effect,
though the desert may be admitted by the most rigid predestinarian
in the shape of original sin. There is a real
difference between the two statements of doctrine, in the
omission in Hooker s of the doctrine of assurance, which is
asserted in the Lambeth document.
NOTE XX. p. 234.
IN the controversy in the Gallican Church, on the subject
of predestination, which arose out of the doctrinal state
ments of Gotteschalcus which was conducted ;
by Hinckmar,
archbishop of Eheims, on the one side, and Kemigius,
archbishop of Lyons, on the other, and which produced the
Councils of Quiercy and Valence neither side ; appears
to
have sifted the to its
question foundation, or to have
and there is, accord
understood its really turning points ;
ingly, a good deal of arbitrary adoption and arbitrary re
jection of language on both sides ; a good deal of reliance
on distinctions without a difference, that is to say, on words.
The doctrinal statement of Gotteschalcus embraces the fol
lowing five points. Ushers Gotteschalci Historia, p. 27.
