Free choice is not an act or habit but a faculty, belonging to man as he has intellect and will

They also agree that the free choice which cannot be separated from man is not an act or a habit. It is rather a faculty of the soul.

Even so, the name does not mean some faculty distinct from mind and will. Man has free choice because he has an intellect and a will.

Latin

III. Inter eos etiam constat liberum illud arbitrium quod ab homine inseparabile est, non esse actum, aut habitum aliquem, sed potius quandam animae facultatem: neque tamen isto nomine designari facultatem quandam, quae sit a mente & voluntate distincta; sed liberum arbitrium homini convenire, quatenus intellectu & voluntate praeditus est.
