Fourth proof. Proper punishment—the death the law named—has to come after God has examined and judged the breach. Loss of righteousness, spiritual death, did not wait for that examination and judgment; it arrived first. Therefore it was neither proper punishment nor the death the law was threatening.

Latin

Quarta ratio, poena proprie dicta sive mors quam lex comminabatur sequi debuit quaestionem ac judicium Dei de violatione illius legis. Sed privatio justitiae sive mors spiritualis quaestionem ac judicium Dei de violatione legis sequuta non est, sed antecessit: non fuit igitur poena proprie dicta, sive mors quam lex comminabatur.
