Bucanus: apply Christ by mind’s judgment and heart’s desire — with Wendelin and Chamier

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Bucanus: Christ is applied not by mind’s judgment alone but also by the heart’s desire and apprehension.

Faith = from mind’s knowledge, approval, and special judgment, the will’s desire and grasp by which each privately applies crucified Christ with his benefits offered in Word and Sacraments.

Same line as Baron for all who count love and desire among justifying faith’s acts — Wendelin, Chamier, and others.

Latin

LXXVI. Similiter Bucanus docet Christum nobis applicari, non tantum per judicium & approbationem mentis, sed etiam per cordis desiderium & apprehensionem: ut patet ex illa ejus fidei descriptione quam supra attulimus. Dum scilicet, dicit, Fidem esse ex mentis notitia & approbatione, judicioque speciali, voluntatis sive cordis desiderium & apprehensionem, qua Christum crucifixum cum beneficiis suis in Verbo & Sacramentis oblatum singuli privatim nobis ipsis applicamus. Et idem etiam hac in parte, cum Baronio & Bucano, sentire necesse est, omnes illos qui amorem & desiderium numerant inter actus fidei justificantis; quod faciunt Wendelinus, Chamierus & alii.
