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

First I must tell you, that by that phrase [the whole soul] I mean the entire motion of the soul by Understanding and Willing, ⟨p. 360⟩to its Object both as True and Good: For I know the whole soul may be said to understand in every Intellectual Action, and to will in every act of willing. But when it only understands or Assents, and not willeth, it doth not Act fully according to its Power, nor according to the nature of its Object, when the Goodness is neglected, and the Truth only apprehended. And it is not a complete motion, seeing the Acts of the understanding are but introductory or preparatory to those of the Will, where the motion of the Rational soul is complete. And so my Argument stands thus: If Justifying faith be the Act both of the understanding and the Will, then it is not one single act only: But &c. Ergo, &c. Prob. Anteced. Justifying faith is the Receiving of Christ: but Christ is Received by the Understanding and Will; (by the former incompletely, by the latter completely:) therefore Justifying faith is the Acting both of the Understanding and Will. Probatur Minor. Christ must be Received as Good, and not only his Word (or himself) as true: therefore he must be Received by the Will as well as the Understanding: for Goodness is the object of the Will.
