PLAC. I answer: before God's court no death is more properly called death than eternal death. If you split bodily death off from it, even that no longer deserves the name 'death,' by Christ's own teaching. The law threatens eternal death only as the loss of all this life's goods—and that is no loss when better goods take their place. Add that eternal death includes the bodily—the loss of this life—so the law could not threaten the one without also threatening the other.

Latin

PLAC. Ego vero respondebo, cum de foro Dei agitur nullam magis proprie mortem dici quam aeternam: a qua si corporalis sejungitur, ne mors quidem amplius vocari debet ipso Christo autore: Eam enim non comminatur lex, nisi quatenus est jactura omnium huius vitae bonorum. Jactura autem non est, cum in eorum locum succedunt meliora. Adde quod mors aeterna corporalem includit, id est, huius vitae privationem, ut illam: comminari lex non potuerit, quin istam simul comminaretur.
