On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §263

Man. Post. Cap. V: open — quid sit imputari; Heb/Gk digression wasted

CAPUT V. Examination of Cap. III, in which it is asked what it is for sin to be imputed or not imputed. In the third chapter you again set the state of the controversy, and once that is set you digress again, and take it upon yourself to illustrate what it is to impute and to be imputed, and you weigh first the Hebrew word, then the Greek, citing some places of Scripture to that end—to what purpose, or with what design, I do not know, unless perhaps so that you might swell the bulk of your treatise and cover the scantiness of your arguments. Useful enough, perhaps, your illustration would be for the controversy on justification—since Scripture is wont to describe that now by the imputation of faith and righteousness, now by the non-imputation of sin—but for this question which is between us I do not see what it is worth: for there is no place in all of Scripture in which Adam's sin is said to be imputed to us.

Latin

CAPUT V. Examen Cap. III. In quo disquiritur, Quid sit imputari vel non imputari peccatum. Capite tertio rursus constituis statum controversiae, eoque constituto iterum digrederis, ac tibi sumis illustrandum, quid sit imputare & imputari, ac primum verbum hebraeum, deinde verbum graecum expendis, laudatis in eum finem aliquot Scripturae locis: quorsum, aut quo consilio, nescio, nisi forte, ut tui tractatus molem augeres, ac tuorum argumentorum paucitatem tegeres: utilis quidem fortasse tua haec illustratio foret ad controversiam de justificatione: quoniam Scriptura eam solita est modo imputatione fidei & justitiae, modo non imputatione peccati describere: ad hanc vero, quae inter nos agitur, quaestionem quid valeat non video: Nullus enim extat in tota Scriptura locus, in quo peccatum Adami nobis imputari dicatur.
