Moreover, it is to be observed Nemes., ch.
37. that the choice of what is to be done is in
our own hands Cf.
Nemes., c. 27; also Cicero’s statement on Providence in
the Academ. Quest.: but the
final issue depends, in the one case when our actions are good, on the
cooperation of God, Who in His justice brings help according to His
foreknowledge to such as choose the good with a right conscience, and,
in the other case when our actions are to evil, on the desertion by
God, Who again in His justice stands aloof in accordance with His
foreknowledge See the reference in
Migne..
