Faith is (as Davenant well noted)) the aft ofthc whole man : I was wont to fay ofboth faculties, Know fay of the three faculties which - con;litute the foul of man, the Poteffative, the Intelleelive and the Volitive. And the Aff"ent it Pelf is many as (as ads are phytically fpecified by their objects) as is (hewed. It is one moral alt or wor;kofthe foul Like truftinga man as my Phylician , which is a fiducial confent that he be my Phylician, in order to the ufc of his remedies : Or as taking a man to be your Prince, Husband, Tutor, Matter, &c. where he that will tell people that taking fignifieth but, one phyfical ad, would be ridiculous. And he that will tell people that only one phyfical ad ofone faculty is it that they mutt look to be jull:fied by, will be much worfe than ridiculoús. Errour 24.
