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

Argument 2. The Scripture revealeth to us that this Faith is the Act both of the Intellect and the Will, therefore it is so. That it is the act of the Intellect, is so plain in Scripture, that I should accuse my self of wearying you with needless work, if I should go about to prove it. The Papists are right enough in thus much: and Dr. Downame de Justific. and against Pemble in Append. to Covenant of Grace, hath proved it at large. That it is an act of the Will, our Divines have fully proved against the Papists in many a full Discourse; 1. From the sense of [Greek or Hebrew], & [Greek or Hebrew], which signify Affiance, and such an Affiance as is the act of the Will as well as of the Intellect. 2. Because the Scripture often putteth ⟨p. 407⟩[Willing] as equipollent to Believing; in Revel. 22.17. Whosoever Will, let him take the water of Life freely] where Willing and Taking are both acts of the Will, and the faith in question; so in other places. 3. The Scripture calleth it by the name of Receiving Christ, Joh. 1.12. Col. 2.6. which is the Acceptance or consent of the Will. 4. The Scripture often makes Faith to be the Internal covenanting and closure of the heart with Christ, which is the act of the Will; and therefore it persuadeth with the Will to this end; and accuseth men as unwilling, and calleth them Refusers, Neglecters, Slighters, Rejecters, Despisers of Christ, that are Unbelievers (privatively.) I trouble you not to cite the Texts as being needless, and done by many. Besides that (as in the former Argument) the Promise, Christ, Pardon, Life, and other good things, as good, are frequently made the Object of Faith.
