Faith precisely vs other virtues: simple assent habit in intellect alone
Take faith precisely against hope/charity: one simple deep assent-habit to the Word.
So taken, seat is intellect alone — truth is intellect's object, good is will's.
Latin
XXII. Ut autem recte fidei subjectum assignetur, notandum est fidem posse duplici modo sumi. Primo quidem praecise, prout spei & charitati, ac caeteris omnibus virtutibus opponitur. Et tum fides est unus simplex habitus, neque aliud quam firmus ac serius, & animum alte penetrans assensus, quem adhibemus Dei Verbo, & omnibus quae sunt in eo revelata. Fides hoc modo sumpta est in solo intellectu, nec ulla sui parte voluntati inhaeret. Nam veritati assensum praebere, intellectus est, non vero voluntatis. Et hactenus verum objectum intellectus, ut bonum voluntatis objectum habetur.
