Another Argument.
Faith Justifies.
Faith Iustifies.
Faith is a Work. Therefore, Works Justify.
Faith is a Work. Therefore, Works Iustifie.
Answer.
I Answer; The Argument is faulty, because the middle term is of a larger extent in the Major, than in the Minor. For Faith in the Major is taken correlatively, for Christ, or the Promise, which is apprehended by Faith. In the Minor it is taken only for a quality of the Mind, as it is an act of our Will: Otherways if Faith is taken in the Minor just as it is in the Major, it is false, and the Minor should be denied; To wit, That Faith is a Work.
