Conciliation of intellect-only and both-faculties; Ames will-only improbable

Intellect-only and both-faculties views can be reconciled by the twofold sense.

Ames's will-only view is improbable: dropping assent as faith-act rewrites the word's common sense.

Latin

XXIV. Et ita quidem conciliari possunt sententiae eorum qui dicunt fidem esse in solo intellectu, & eorum qui, contra, contendunt fidem intellectum & voluntatem occupare, & utrique facultati, tanquam subjecto inesse. Sed omnino improbabilis est sententia Amesii & eorum qui cum illo censent fidem esse in sola voluntate, cum alienum sit a recta ratione statuere fidem in assensu, saltem ex parte, non consistere, & assensum non esse fidei actum. Neque hoc statui potest, quin immutetur communis & usitata notio vocabuli fidei, quod a viro sapiente & cordato fieri non debet.
