Thomas de Vio Cajetan

Here, speculative theologian, the discussion is not about the will of good pleasure, of which it is written, 'Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven and in earth,' and that 'no one can resist his will.' That is plain, because we see that not all men come to the knowledge of the truth. Rather, the discussion is about the will of sign, by which God sets before all men the precepts of salvation and the doctrine of the Gospel. It is charged against those who refuse to come to the knowledge of the truth and refuse to be saved, of which it is written, 'How often would I have gathered thy children, and ye would not.'

Marginal note: “God wills all men to be saved by the will of sign, not by the will of good pleasure.”
