Not by rapture or enthusiasm — yet not without object-side ground
Spirit's work is not rapture or enthusiasm.
Moves as befits a rational free creature — nature-agreeing.
Highest faith-firmness not wholly from object-light — yet not reasonless.
Even object-side ground: dignity and gravity the mind duly weighs (as already shown).
Latin
XLIV. Nec tamen quicquam in nobis Spiritus Dei agit per modum raptus sive enthusiasmi: sed homines eo movet & impellit modo quodam naturae maxime consentaneo, & prout decet creaturam rationalem & liberam. Ac quamvis summa illa fidei firmitas atque certitudo, quam Spiritus nostris mentibus imprimit, tota referenda non sit ad objecti lucem sive evidentiam, nulla tamen ex parte ratione destituta est, nec caret omni fundamento etiam ex parte objecti. Siquidem nascitur ex rei ipsius dignitate atque gravitate, quam mens, ut decet, expendit & attendit, quomodo jam expositum est.
