Amyraut: faith's subject is intellect beyond controversy
Amyraut (Theses de Fide 1.15ff) treats intellect as faith's seat beyond serious dispute.
To have faith = to believe = to be persuaded of truth; persuasion enters by reasons into the intellect.
Latin
II. Praesertim vero istud, tanquam rem certam atque exploratam, affirmat Moses Amyraldus, Thesibus de Fide, parte 1. Thesi 15. & seqq. Subjectum, inquit, cui habitus fidei innascitur, atque inhaeret, facultatem eam esse quae in homine intellectus appellatur, debet esse extra controversiam apud omnes, qui saltem rem istam considerant non omnino oscitanter. Nempe, cum habere fidem nihil aliud sit quam credere, credere autem sit esse persuasum de veritate alicujus rei, fieri nequit quin fides pertineat ad intellectum. Nam & veritas est objectum intellectus; & persuasio non fit aliter, quam admittendo, aut introducendo in intellectum eas rationes, eaque argumenta, quibus unaquaeque res sese veram esse demonstret.
