we_o shall_v make_v reason_n and_o faith_n the_o same_o that_o there_o be_v to_o make_v the_o faculty_n and_o the_o habit_n the_o same_o reason_n be_v a_o faculty_n faith_n a_o habit_n now_o a_o

that_o he_o mean_v faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n or_o habit_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o not_o of_o the_o will._n for_o so_o faith_n be_v a_o assent_n to_o a_o truth_n reveil_v &_o the_o

of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o the_o roundness_n of_o several_a circle_n for_o they_o not_o have_v entitatem_fw-la rei_fw-la beside_o the_o entity_n of_o their_o subject_n their_o subject_n be_v

the_o use_n of_o reason_n without_o a_o supernatural_a revelation_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o faith_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o present_o follow_v that_o their_o difference_n be_v gradual_a

i_o be_v now_o to_o examine_v the_o nature_n of_o freedom_n wherein_o it_o consist_v i_o may_v perhaps_o place_v it_o in_o a_o spontaneity_n that_o it_o act_n without_o reluctancy_n sponte_fw-la

because_o there_o be_v not_o a_o reflection_n whereby_o it_o will_v its_o action_n that_o which_o
hinder_v i_o from_o place_v it_o in_o this_o be_v because_o i_o allow_v not_o any_o reflex_n act_n of_o will_v in_o god_n beside_o that_o direct_a act_n of_o work_v who_o be_v yet_o a_o most_o free_a

the_o object_n of_o another_o now_o what_o strength_n there_o be_v in_o this_o to_o hinder_v the_o place_n of_o freedom_n in_o this_o reflex_n act_n i_o propose_v to_o be_v consider_v rather_o than_o affirm_v but_o i_o rather_o place_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o will_n liberty_n in_o a_o freedom_n from_o servitude_n that_o it_o be_v not_o under_o the_o command_n of_o any_o creature_n or_o a_o natural_a determination_n of_o its_o own_o and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v free_a from_o such_o servitude_n as_o a_o natural_a agent_n or_o such_o as_o may_v be_v force_v be_v subject_a to_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o free_a from_o god_n command_n nor_o perhaps_o from_o the_o dictate_v of_o reason_n neither_o or_o if_o it_o be_v yet_o be_v not_o this_o its_o freedom_n but_o its_o weakness_n
