On God

Latin Grammar: unus, nullus, alter

Quod non: Quia nullus est quin est gratus Deo vel reprobatus ab eo; sed per peccatum est homo reprobatus et per gratiam acceptus; igitur nullus est nec esse potest quin sit in peccato vel in gratia; igitur expulsio unius infert formaliter infusionem alterius.
