“Though, according to His right & power over man, God could prescribe obedience in all things...yet, that He might elicit from man voluntary and free obedience, which alone is grateful to Him, it was His will to enter into a covenant with him by which God required obedience”
James Arminius, The Works Of Jacobus Arminius Vol. 2.

“Those who have been grafted into Christ by true faith and thus made partakers of His life-giving Spirit possess sufficient power to fight against Satan, sin, the world and their own flesh and to gain the victory—yet not without the assistance of the grace of the same Holy Spirit”
James Arminius, The Works of James Arminius: Volume One

Bertrand de Jouvenel
“As we shall see, theories like those of Divine Right and Popular Sovereignty, which pass for opposites, stem in reality from the same trunk, the idea of sovereignty—the idea, that is, that somewhere there is a right to which all other rights must yield. It is not hard to discover behind this juridical concept a metaphysical one.”
Bertrand De Jouvenel, On Power: The Natural History of Its Growth

“God himself is the object of theology.... He is the best; that is, he is the first and highest good and goodness itself, and he alone is good, as good as goodness itself, ready to communicate it as far as it can be communicated; his great liberality is matched by the treasures he possesses.... He is the greatest, and he alone is great.”
Jacob Arminius

“He is infinite in His essence, His wisdom, His power and goodness. He is the first and chief verity, and truth itself in the abstract. But the human mind is finite in nature, the substance of which it is formed; and only in this view is it a partaker in infinity—because it apprehends infinite being and the Chief Truth, although it is incapable of comprehending them. David, therefore, in an exclamation of joyful self-congratulation, openly confesses that he was content with the possession of God alone, who by means of knowledge and love is possessed by His creatures. If you are acquainted with all other things any yet remain in a state of ignorance with regard to him alone, you are always wandering beyond the proper point, and your restless love of knowledge increases in the proportion in which knowledge itself is increased. The man who knows only God, and who is ignorant of all things else, remains in peace and tranquility, and . . . he congratulates himself greatly and triumphs.”
James Arminius, The Works Of James Arminius V1 Part 1
