The Sixth Argument
Scripture referenced in this chapter 2
Such a faith as a practical syllogism can make, is not a faith wrought by the Lord's almighty power: for though a syllogism makes faith; yet such a faith is but a human faith; because the conclusion follows but from the strength of reasonings, or reason; not from the power of God, by which alone divine things are wrought (Ephesians 1:19-20; Colossians 2:20).
But the faith which is wrought by a word, and a work, and the light of a renewed conscience without the witness of the Spirit; and before it, is such a faith as a practical syllogism can make.
Therefore such a faith as is wrought by a word, and a work, or by the light of a renewed conscience, without the witness of the Spirit, and before it; is not a faith wrought by the Lord's almighty power.
