Same genus or mere homonym? — a philosophical quarrel, not a theological one
Reformers quarrel: are historical and justifying faith species under one genus (univocal or analogical), or only homonyms?
Le Blanc: the question is merely philosophical — once the real difference is clear, Theology need not care which school-word names it.
If we keep school usage: nothing blocks calling them species of one genus — common name and common thing: assent to God revealing, from the Spirit’s light.
Latin
LXXXII. Veruntamen inter se disceptant iidem Reformati, An fides historica & justificans sint species comprehensae sub eodem genere, aut univoco, aut saltem analogo; an vero solum vocis homonymae diversae acceptiones? Sed hanc quaestionem putamus esse mere Philosophicam: Et modo constet qua in re inter se differant fides historica atque justificans, Theologiae nihil interesse qua voce Philosophica discrimen illud designetur. Si tamen volumus uti vocibus Philosophicis secundum morem in Scholis usitatum, non video quid obstet, quominus fides historica & justificans dicantur species ejusdem generis; cum non tantum utrique sit nomen quoddam commune, sed etiam id quoddam per nomen significatum; quandoquidem utraque est assensus quidam Deo revelanti adhibitus, ex Spiritus Sancti illuminatione.
