Reply. In Christ there is one power or faculty of the human will;
but if we consider the human will with reference to its acts, then
there is a distinction between the natural will that is naturally
inclined to good in itself, shrinking from what is harmful to nature,
and the rational will, or free will, that is drawn to its object by
comparison and deliberation.
Reply to second objection. Thus in the same intellective faculty
there is a distinction between the intellect inasmuch as it is drawn
toward principles as its object, and the discursive reason inasmuch as
it is drawn toward conclusions as its object.
