Baron: senses 2–4 are effects — only first-sense fiducia is faith’s proper act
Baron on ‘Is fiducia an act of faith?’ — two assertions.
Senses 2–4: not faith’s act but faith’s effect/consequent.
Sense 1: true proper act of saving faith — even its chief specific act.
Latin
LX. Sed quicquid de eo sit, postquam Robertus Baronius quatuor illas fiduciae acceptiones proposuit, ad quaestionem istam, An fiducia sit actus fidei? respondit duabus assertionibus: Prima est haec, fiducia secundo, tertio, aut quarto modo accepta, non est fidei actus, sed est effectum & consequens fidei: Secunda vero illius assertio sic habet, Fiducia primo modo accepta est verus & proprius Actus fidei salvificae actus, imo est praecipuus & specificus ejus actus. In Philosophia Theologis ancillante, Exercitatione tertia, Articulo 18.
