On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §265

Man. Post. Cap. V: PLAC — de jure not mercy-remission; remitted yet punished?

For when I affirm that Adam's actual sin is not imputed to us, I do not mean by this that that sin is not considered as sin, but that it is covered, pardoned, and remitted to us. (You see that this explanation of yours of 'not imputing' is alien from my mind and from this question.) It is not asked between us whether Adam's sin is forgiven us: such non-imputation is from mercy; but it is asked between us whether of right, from justice, it is imputed to us or not. You doubtless hold that it is not imputed—that is, that it is remitted to the faithful—and yet the same you contend against me is imputed to all men, and indeed so imputed that in all it is punished in act. I do not ask in this place how that punishment consists with justification or remission and the non-imputation of that sin.

Latin

Cum enim affirmo, peccatum actuale Adami nobis non imputari, non hoc volo peccatum illud non considerari ut peccatum, sed tegi, condonari, & remitti nobis. (vides alienam esse hanc tuam non imputandi explicationem a mea mente, & ab hac quaestione,) non quaeritur inter nos, utrum peccatum Adami nobis condonetur: talis non imputatio est a misericordia; sed quaeritur inter nos, utrum de jure, ex justitia nobis imputetur, necne? Tu proculdubio statuis non imputari, hoc est, remitti fidelibus: attamen idem contendis me adversus omnibus hominibus imputari, & quidem ita imputari, ut in omnibus puniatur actu: non quaero hoc loco quomodo ista punitio consistat cum justificatione seu remissione, & non imputatione illius peccati.
