Chamier: faith is in the will — to believe in God is to love God

Chamier: same argument — faith in the will, not intellect alone.

Every love is a will-act; faith is love; therefore faith is a will-act.

True faith believes in God = loves God (Augustine).

Latin

XXXVIII. Quibus plane similia leguntur apud Chamierum, qui etiam eodem argumento utitur, ut probet fidem esse in voluntate, & non solum in intellectu. Omnis amor, inquit, est actus voluntatis; at fides est amor; ergo est actus voluntatis. Fidem autem esse amorem, probat quia vera fides est ea quae credit in Deum: At credere in Deum est amare Deum, juxta illud Augustini, Quid est credere in Deum? credendo amare. Panstratiae tomo 3. lib. 12. cap. 4. numero 16.
