Mozley: A Treatise on the Augustinian Doctrine of

Note XX. 391
moned by Hinckmar, condemned the opinions of Gottes-
chalcus, and published a counter statement of doctrine,
which placed the doctrine of predestination upon a ground
of foreknowledge : Secundum prccscientiam suam quos
per gratiam praedestinavit ad vitam elegit ex massa perditionis.
Caeteros autem quos justitiae judicio in massa
perditionis reliquit, perituros praescivit, sed non ut perirent
praedestinavit. p. 67. There is nothing in the language
of this proposition to which the most rigid predestinarian
might not subscribe ; but Remigius interprets the prwscientia
as the foreknowledge of the individual s good life,
and as
nation
implying the resting of the doctrine of predesti
on that : ground Quod manifesto contrarium est,
Catholicae tidei. Quia Omnipotens Deus in electione eorum
quos prsedestinavit, et vocavit ad vitam aeternam, non eorum
merita prsescivit. On the subject of the Divine will to
save all mankind the Council decreed :
* Deus omnipotens
omnes homines sine exceptione vult salvos fieri, licet
non omnes salventur, to which proposition Remigius op
poses the fact of the heathen world, the damnation of
which he considers to be a point which has been decided
by the Church. The same question was taken up by the
Council in another form; viz. whether Christ did or did
not suffer for all men, which it decided in the affirmative.
4 Christus Jesus Dominus noster, sicut nullus homo est fuit
vel erit cujus natura in illo assumpta non fuerit, ita nullus
est fuit vel erat homo pro quo passus non fuerit licet non
;
omnes passionis ejus mysterio
redimantur. On this argu

ment Remigius remarks : Quod dicitur quod nullus homo
est fuit vel erit cujus natura in Christo assumpta non
fuerit Susceptio iUa naturae humanae in Christo
non fuit ex necessitate originis, sed ex potestate et gratia
et misericordia et dignatione suscipientis. Quia ergo ista
tarn divina et homims Chnsl
singularis generatio
aliqua naturali necessitate, sed sola ejus potestate et gratia
et misericordia facta est; sic per omnes generations caro
ejus descendit; sic ex eis veraciter natus verus homo factus
est ut quod eiplacuit miserendo, et sanawlo, et redimendo
inde assumeret, quod autem non placuit reprobaret.-
