XXI.It is external or internal.External is that which is done through the externally preached word and the administration of the sacraments.
XXIII.Internal is that by which the Holy Spirit illuminates the mind and bends the will, so that the human seriously and efficaciously obeys the external calling.This can also sometimes and in a certain extraordinary mode happen without the external word, but God's ordinary institution is to join the word with the internal operation of the Spirit.
Latin
XXI. Est externa aut interna. Externa est quae fit per verbum externe praedicatum & sacramentorum administrationem. XXIII. Interna est, qua Spiritus sanctus mentem illuminat & voluntatem flectit, ut homo vocationi externa serio & efficaciter obtemperet. Haec etiam aliquando & modo quodam extraordinario sine externo verbo fieri potest, sed ordinarium Dei institutum est verbum cum interna Spiritus operatione conjungere.
