P. Another of ours that cometh as near you as most, openeth this more fully, Davenport alias Fr. a ⟨p. 35⟩Sancta Clara, De. Nat. Grat. p. 111, &c. [As to the Ignorance of those things that are of necessity of Means, or End, there is difference among the Doctors: For Soto 4. d. 5. q. 5. & l. de Nat. & Grat. c. 12. & Vega l. 6. c. 20. sup. Trid. hold that now in the Law of Grace there is no more explicit faith required, than in the Law of Nature. Yea, Vega ib. & Gabriel 2. d. 21. q. 2. ar. 3. & 3. d. 21. q. 2. think that in the Law of Nature, and in Cases in the Law of Grace, some may be saved with only natural knowledge, and that the habit of faith, is not required. Whom Horantius terms men of great name, and will not accuse of heresy. I would this great mans modesty were more frequent with modern Doctors. Yea, Alvarez de aux. disp. 56. with others, seemeth to hold, that to justification there is not at all required the knowledge of a supernatural object (or the supernatural knowledge of the object.) Others hold, That both to Grace and Glory is required an explicit belief of Christ. Bonav. 3. d. 25, &c. Others, that at least to salvation is an explicit belief of the Gospel or of Christ, though not to Grace or Justification. And this is common in the Schools, as Ferera shows that followeth it: And for this Opinion Scotus is cited — But I think he holdeth, that explicit belief of Christ or the Gospel, is not of necessity of means as to Grace or Glory, as 4. d. 3. q. 4. What is plainer than that now— men may be saved without the explicit belief of Christ—And I plainly think its Scotus's and the common opinion, which Vega followeth, and Faber 4. d. 3. and Petigianis very well, and of the Thomists Bannes 2.2. q. 2. a. 8. Canus and others: Yea, the Trent Council seemeth to favour it, Sess. 6. c. 4. —p. 114. So Corduba, Medina, Bradwardine.— ⟨p. 36⟩☞ And such (as have no explicit faith in Christ) are not formally without the Church. This way go Victoria in 4. Relect. 4. tit. Richard de Villa med. 3.25. a. 3. q. 1, &c. Well saith Petigianis 2. d. 35. q. 1. a. 9. that if there were a simple old woman to whom some false Opinion were preached by a false Prophet (e. g. that the substance of Bread remaineth with the body of Christ in the Sacrament) and she believe it: Doth she sin by this? No.—p. 119.
