Faith resolves two ways: in the conscience, and before others
Third: our faith can be resolved in two ways — with respect to the object or the subject; with respect to ourselves or with respect to others.
With respect to ourselves and the subject, faith is resolved when we ask what the inward principle is, and where each conscience rests so that we may not press further. With respect to the object and to others, our faith is resolved when we ask for the last foundation we can show and name to someone else.
That last foundation we can show another must be some external principle of faith — an outward rule of faith — where we stop, with no further rule beyond it.
Latin
XXI. Tertio observandum est, fidei nostrae resolutionem dupliciter fieri posse, respectu objecti, et respectu subjecti, sive respectu nostri, et respectu aliorum. Respectu nostri, et respectu subjecti fides resolvitur, quum quaeritur quid sit internum fidei principium, et illud in quo conscientia cujusque conquiescit, neque licet ultra progredi. Sed respectu objecti, et respectu aliorum fides nostra resolvitur, quum quaeritur ultimum fidei nostrae fundamentum, quod alteri proferre et indicare possumus. Ultimum vero istud fidei nostrae fundamentum quod indicare possumus alteri, necesse est ut sit aliquod externum fidei principium, et externa quaedam fidei regula, in qua sistendum est, et qua non datur alia ulterior.
