 Arnauld devoted much of Réflexions to Malebranche’s position that God acts by general volitions and not by particular volitions. In Book I of Réflexions, his focus is on the order of nature and he tries to show that Malebranche’s claim that God acts only by general volitions is confused and even self-contradictory. In Book II, his focus is on the order of grace and he attacks Malebranche’s claim that God does not distribute grace by particular volitions.
