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

Answ. 1. Do you not your selves call it fides formata charitate? And why then may not we call it faith? 2. The Scripture calleth it Faith in the phrases forementioned, [Greek or Hebrew], &c. and therefore it is Faith. 3. Though sometimes in other cases the Apostle distinguish Faith, Hope and Love; yet when he speaketh of Faith as justifying, and as the form of a Christian, he comprehendeth Love to Christ as Saviour in it, and a confidence in him, such as in common Language we call Hope. As Love signifieth the Passion of the soul, it may be a consequent; but as it is but the velle Christum, & beneficia oblata, so it is faith it self, as Maccovius and Chamier have truly told the Papists. It was a faith in Christ (though beginning to sink) that's expressed Luk. ⟨p. 408⟩24.21. [[Greek or Hebrew].] [But we trusted that it had been he that should have redeemed Israel.] Our Translators have put we Trusted for we Hoped, because they thought the signification the same, or else they would not sure have done it. And when the Apostle saith, that [Greek or Hebrew], Heb. 11.1. If we may denominate the act from the Object, we may see that he there makes Faith and Hope to be co-essential. And when Christ is called [Greek or Hebrew], Christ our Hope, it seems hope there is but an act of Faith. And so 2 Cor. 1.10. 1 Tim. 4.10. To Hope in God or Christ, or put our Hope in him, seemeth to me all one as to put our Trust in him for future Mercy, which is Faith. To which is opposed 1 Tim. 6.17. putting our Hope in riches, so 1 Cor. 15.19. to have Hope in Christ, so the Septuagint, Psal. 42.26. [Greek or Hebrew]: [Hope in God,] is a Complication of Faith and Hope in one word, and translated by us, Trust in God.
