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

Now as to the second kind or matter of Unity (of an Inferior Genus and Superior species;) this is two-fold. 1. As the Acts of mans soul are specified and denominated from the Faculties or Powers: or (if any deny that real distinction of faculties) from the Objects of Intellection, Volition, &c. generally considered. 2. As the acts of the soul are specified ⟨p. 405⟩by their special Objects (though not speciei specialissimae.) As to the former, the question is one of these two (which you will in terms, for they are one in sense) Whether the act of Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, be only an act of the Intellect, or only an act of the Will? Or, Whether it have only Entity and Verity, or only Goodness for its Object? And in the second case the Question is this, Whether God alone, or Christ alone, or the Promise alone, or Pardon or Righteousness alone, or Heaven alone &c. be the Object of that Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification.

But the thing intended in our Question is de specie specialissima, Whether it be but one special act which Paul opposeth to works in Justification. Here are three more Propositions that I shall handle in order, though the last only be necessary to me.

Proposition 2. The Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, is not only an Act of the Intellect, nor only of the Will.
