BE28.关于在转变信仰或称义时的自由意志，表面看起来他们的教条全然对立，但事实上他们仍然一致；大家只要适当思考并比较从《特兰托会议信纲》引用的这方面内容（n.6，a，b）和来自《协和信条》（n.15，m）。在基督徒国家，所有人皆受洗，由此而处于自愿的自由状态中，以至于不仅有能力去听上帝的话语，而且还能赞同它，因而凭信心来接受，基督徒领域没有哪个像块木桩。
28. As regards free-will in conversion, or in the act of justification, it appears as if the Roman Catholics and the Reformed were entirely opposed; but that they are still in accord may be seen if the passages transcribed from the Council of Trent, n. 6(a, b), are rightly considered and compared with those from the Formula Concordiae, n. 15(n). For in Christian countries all are baptized, and are thereby in a freed state of the will, so as to be able not only to hear the Word of God but also to assent to it, and to embrace it by faith consequently, no one in the Christian world is like a stock.
28. As regards free-will in conversion, or in the act of justification, it appears as if their dogmas were entirely opposite to each other; but that they still agree, may be seen if we duly consider and compare the passages transcribed from the Council of Trent [n. 6 (a) (b)], with those from The Formula Concordiae [n. 15 (m)]; for in Christian countries all are baptized, and from thence are in a state of free-will, so as to be enabled not only to hear the Word of God, but likewise to assent to the same, and embrace it by faith; consequently no one in the Christian world is like a stock.
28. Quod autem, Liberum arbitrium in conversione seu in actu justificationis concernit, apparet sicut prorsus in contrarium eant, sed quod usque conveniant, videri potest si rite expenduntur et conferuntur illa quae ex Synodo Tridentina n. 6. (a) (b), exscripta sunt, cum illis quae ex Formula Concordiae 1n. 15. (m): sunt enim omnes in Christianismo baptizati, et inde in liberato arbitrio, ut non modo possint audire Verbum Dei, sed etiam eidem assentiri, et illud fide amplecti; consequenter nullus ibi est sicut truncus.
