Of justification four disputations clearing and amicably defending the truth against the unnecessary oppositions…

Surely an unwillingness to accept Christ for our Lord and Saviour, is no small part of the condemning sin, which we therefore call the rejecting of Christ; The treading him under foot; Neglecting so great Salvation; Not willing to come to Christ for life; Making light of him, when they are invited to the marriage, (Mat. 22.) and making excuses: Not-kissing the son, (Psal. 2.) with many the like, which import the Wills refusal of Christ himself, and not only its unwillingness to believe the Truth of the Promise or Declaration of the Gospel.

To your tenth Objection I answer by denying the consequence; we speak of the soul as rational, and not as sensitive or vegetative. When the understanding & Will receive Christ, the whole soul doth it: that is, every faculty, or the soul by a ⟨p. 358⟩full entire motion in its several Actings to the Object presented, both as true and good. Your Joy, Hope, Fear, are in the sensitive: And Love as a Passion, and as commonly taken. And for Memory, take it for an act of the Understanding; or of Understanding and Imagination conjunct; or for a third faculty as please your self, it will not breed any difficulty in the case. But whether Fear be properly a Receiving of Christ, or any Object as Good, I much question. I take it rather for the shunning of an evil, then the Reception of Good. So much for your Objections.
