Whether and how far faith belongs to the will
Article XXI. Whether and how far faith belongs to the will.
1. Estius puts faith with the will; others put it wholly in the intellect. We distinguish.
2. As assent and judgment, faith is in the intellect as proper subject. It still belongs to the will: by origin (the will commands the intellect to attend and assent); by state (faith directs the will); by fruits (love, trust, obedience born from faith in the will).
3. Unlike Estius, we do not seat faith in the will by origin alone, but relate it to the will by command, concomitance, and fruits.
Latin
ART. XXI. An & quatenus fides ad voluntatem pertineat. 1. Guilielmus Estius dicit fidem ad voluntatem pertinere. Alii fidem totam in intellectu collocant. Nos distinguimus. 2. Fides quoad assensum & judicium est in intellectu tanquam in subjecto proprio. Ad voluntatem tamen pertinet: (1) ratione originis — quia voluntas imperat intellectui ut attendat & assentiatur; (2) ratione status — quia fides dirigit voluntatem; (3) ratione fructuum — quia ex fide nascuntur in voluntate amor, fiducia, obedientia. 3. Haec sententia differt ab Estii, quia non refert fidem ad voluntatem ratione suae originis solius tanquam in voluntate subjectatae, sed ratione imperii, concomitantiае, & fructuum.
