Answ. 1. The Reader here seeth that all this Zeal is exercised in a Game at Words, or Logical Notions; and the Church must be called for the umpirage, to stand by in▪ Arms to judg that he hath won the Day: What if the denomination be properly to be taken from the Terminus?

Justificatio, Justificans (active sumpta)? Or, 2. Justificatio Justificati (passive)? 3. Or Justitia?

2. The passive or effective Justification is in respect of the Subjects Reception called Passio: In ⟨p. 149⟩respect of the form received, it is as various as I before mentioned.
