Original Douay–Rheims Annotations2 Corinthians 13

Try yourselves.

^◦ The Heretics argue hereupon, that every man may know himself certainly to be in grace: where the Apostle speaketh expressly and only of faith. The act whereof a man may know and feel to be in himself, because it is an act of understanding, though he cannot be assured that he hath his sins remitted, and that he is in all points in state of grace and salvation: because every man that is of the Catholic faith, is not always of good life agreeable thereunto, nor the acts of our will so subject to understanding, that we can know certainly whether we be good or evil. See. S. Augustine to. 7. de perfect. iustitiæ c. 15. Li. de Cor. et grat. c. 13. & S. Thomas 1. 2. q. 112. art. 5.

• ◦ We may know that we have faith, but not that we are in grace.
