Werke Augustinus von Hippo (354-430) De gratia et libero arbitrio (CCEL) A Treatise on grace and free will
Letter I.

1.

Two young men, Cresconius and Felix, have found their way to us, and, introducing themselves as belonging to your brotherhood, have told us that your monastery was disturbed with no small commotion, because certain amongst you preach grace in such a manner as to deny that the will of man is free; and maintain--a more serious matter--that in the day of judgment God will not render to every man according to his works. 1 At the same time, they have pointed out to us, that many of you do not entertain this opinion, but allow that free will is assisted by the grace of God, so as that we may think and do aright; so that, when the Lord shall come to render unto every man according to his works, 2 He shall find those works of ours good which God has prepared in order that we may walk in them. 3 They who think this think rightly.
