Neither side denies the other’s act — assent, refuge, and consequent persuasion cohere
Those who omit whole-Word assent in the definition still confess it is included or required.
Grace-persuasion definers do not deny prior refuge-fiducia fleeing to God for mercy.
Refuge-fiducia definers do not deny consequent persuasion of God’s love and goodwill.
The acts cohere; definitions spotlight different moments.
Latin
LXXXVI. Caeterum omnes illi quanquam in sua definitione mentionem non faciunt assensus quem fides salvifica praebet toti Verbo Dei, nihilominus fatentur talem assensum in fide includi, aut ad eam requiri, ut satis manifestum est ex iis quae ante fuerunt a nobis exposita. Nec etiam qui fidem describunt ab ea persuasione quam habet fidelis de Dei erga se gratia & benevolentia, negant in fide praecedere fiduciam illam qua quis Deo adhaeret, & ad eum confugit ut misericordiam ab eo consequatur. Sicut vicissim qui fidem definiunt a fiducia illa, qua quis in Deum recumbit, ut veniam & misericordiam ab eo obtineat, non negant in fide sequi alteram istam fiduciam, qua quis de Dei amore & benevolentia erga se persuasus est.
