what is that which Ministers the Principles to the Law of Reason which are in it by Nature but that which is the Lord of Nature viz. the head of every man Lastly Synteresis quoque a quibusdam sic describitur Synteresis est potentia nata assentire naturaliter principio practico evidenti ex terminis dictanti id est significanti in Universali aliquid operandum vel fugiendum per hoc quod dicitur potentia excluditur actus habitus acquisitus dicitur nata assentire quia non oporter quod actu assentiat quia etiam potentia dicitur Synteresis dum actu nullum principium apprehendit dicitur naturaliter assentire id est statim apprehensis terminis assentire quia non requirit probationem vel discursum ad hoc quod assentiat sed ex conditione suae naturae statim apprehensis terminis non potest non assentire dicitur etiam evidenti ex terminis quia respectu principii eviden●●per experientiam Non dicitur Synteresis eo quod tale Principium apprehensum potest ignorari etiam addit in universali ad excludendum Conscientiam quae est judicium conclusionis practicae in particulari distantis That is Synteresis also by some is thus discribed Synteresis is a Power born to assent naturally to a practical principle evident by the tearms dictating that is signifying in every thing something to be done or something to be avoided And by this that it is said a Power Acquired Act and Habit is excluded And it is said Born to ascent Because it need not that it ascent by the Act in regard that Synteresis is even called a Power whilest it apprehends no principle by the Act and it is said naturally to ascent That is presently the tearms being apprehended to ascent because it doth not require proof or discussion unto that to which it ascents but out of the condition of its own nature presently the terms being apprehended it cannot but assent It is also said evident by the Terms because in respect of the Principle evident by experience Synteresis is not said in it that such a Principle being apprehended it can be ignorant And it is added in every thing For the excluding of Conscience which is the Judgement of a Practical conclusion dictating in the particular And what is this but that which seeth all things not as man but as they are and is greater than Conscience Thus far Seyngerman in answer to the question Quid sit Synteresis What is Synteresis Now for the derivation of the Word do not your Books say that it is derived from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which they say may be called conservatio a conservation from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 conservo to conserve or keep together Unde ea pars animae say they quae vitiis adversatur sese semper immaculatum a vitiis cupit conservare perpetrata malo continuò arguit Synteresis dicitur That is From whence that part of the soul which is against evil and alwayes desires to keep it self unspotted of it and continually argueth against evil perpetrated is called Synteresis And what is that but the Religion which is pure and undefiled before God and the Father which keepeth it self unspotted of the World Thus much of Synteresis which ye lay as the ground or Principle of the Law and the derivation of it and what it is and signifies Now as to LAW And for this look again into your Books and see whether they speak not of LAW as they have of Synteresis and both the same as I have asserted For Example See Bracto … Lib. 1 Chap 〈…〉 Lex est say they sanctio sancta jubens honesta prohibens contraria Law is a holy sanction Commanding things honest forbidding the contrary And what is this but the holy Commandement 〈…〉 1 〈…〉 fol. 〈…〉 in● … d … hs … e.
