This distinction of that which is material and that which is formal in sin is commonly used by Aquinas 1. secun: q: 71. art: 6, in corp: Augustinus in definition peccati posuit duo, 1Unum quod pertinet ad substantiam actûs humani, quod est quasi materiale in peccato; cum dicit dictum vel factum vel concupitum; Aliud autem quod pertinet ad rationem mali quod est quasi formale in peccato cum dixit contra legem aeternam. So then the substance of the act is the material part in sin; And the opposition of this act to the law of God is the formal part of it, both according to Aquinas; and according to Austin also. And q: 75. art: 1. corp. He defineth sin to be Actus inordinatus, an inordinate act, and distinguisheth the act from the inordination of it. q: 79. art: 2. He proposeth the question, whether the act of sin be from God? and in the conclusion resolves it thus, Cum actus peccati sit ens, necessariò est à Deo, Considering that the act of sin is a thing having being, necessarily it is of God. And in the body of the Article, Dicendum quod actus peccati & est ens, & est actus, & ex utroque habet quod sit à Deo; The resolution is that the act of sin, is both a thing that hath being, and an act, and in each condition it hath, that it is of God. And he proves this both by authority and by reason. As for the defect of this act, that non reducitur in Deum tanquam in causam, sed in liberum arbitrium, that is not charged upon God as the cause thereof, but on a man's free will. And he illustrates it thus, Sicut defectus claudicationis reducitur in tibiam curvam sicut in causam, non autem in virtutem motivam à quâ tamen causatur quicquid est motionis in claudicatione. Like as the defect called halting is charged upon a crooked leg as the cause thereof, and not upon the motive faculty, though from it proceeds all the motion that is found in the halting: Neither did I ever read any School. Divine that contradicted this distinction. Mr. Mason doth without alleging any authority for it. Yet he might have alleged Arminius opposing after this manner, though before him, that I know, not any.
