The sixteenth poynt of implicite faith,* 1.1
We hold that there is a kinde of implicite faith, as in the time of a mans first conversion, and in the time of some grievous Temptation. A second kinde of implicite faith is in regard of Apprehension, when as a man cannot say distinctly and certain∣ly. I believe the pardon of my sinnes, but I doe unfainedly de∣sire the pardon of them all, and doe desire to repent. The dif∣ference is; The Pillars of the Roman Church, lay downe this ground, that faith in his owne nature is not a knowledge of things to be beleeved, but a reverent assent unto them, whether they be knowne or unknowne: hereupon they build, that if a man know some necessary poynts of Religion, as the do∣ctrine of the God-head, of the Trinity, of Christs Incarnati∣on, and of our Redemption, &c. it is needlesse to know the rest, and it is sufficient to give his consent to the Church, and to beleeve as the Pastors beleeve. This implicite faith we reject: for ••aith containeth a knowledge of things to be believed; and nothing is believed that is not knowne.
