And pag. 111. he telleth us, [That as to the Ignorance of things necessary as means (to salvation) the Doctors differ; for Soto 4. d. 5. q. 5. & l. denatur. & grat. c. 12. And Vega l 6. c. 20. sup. Trid. will have no more explicit faith required now in the Law of Grace, then in the Law of Nature. Yea Vega loco citato, and Gab. 2. d. 21. qu. 2. art. 3. & 3. d. 21. qu. 3. think that in the Law of Nature, and in cases in the Law of Grace, a man may be saved with only Natural Knowledge, and that the ⟨p. 266⟩habit of faith is not required. And Horantius (being of the contrary opinion) saith, that they are men of great name that are against him, whose gravity and great and painful studies moved him, not to condemn them of heresy, in a doubtful matter, not yet judged] (O happy Rome that hath a judge that can put an end to all their controversies! And yet cannot determine whether it be Necessary to salvation to be a Christian!)

[Yea (saith S. Clara) Alvarez de Auxil. disp. 56. with others, seems to hold that to Justification is not required the knowledge of a supernatural object at all. Other say that both to Grace and to Glory an explicit faith in Christ is necessary, as Bonavent. 3. d. 25. and others. Others say that to salvation at least an explicit faith in the Gospel, or Christ is required, though not to Grace or Justification. And this is the commoner in the Schools, as Herera declareth, and followeth it.]
