How foreign that is from the doctrine of those by whose labors God reformed the Church, no one not quite a stranger in their books fails easily to see. GAR. 2. Since in the imputation of another's sin not habits but actions are imputed, as can appear to anyone who runs through all those examples produced above in great number, what wonder if also in this case not a habit but only Adam's act is remembered? PLAC. If habits are sins, if they make those in whom they are guilty, why can they not be imputed? Certainly, no less than our actual sins, they were imputed to our Surety, that He might satisfy for their guilt. And if any imputation of others' sins was made, whence do you have it that actual sins were imputed separated from habitual ones? And even if that could be proved, still there is a peculiar reason in the habit of Adam's corruption, which was a sin of nature, while its cause, actual disobedience, was rather a sin of the person; the former is propagated with nature, the latter not likewise.

Latin

Quod quam sit alienum a doctrina eorum, quorum opera Deus usus est ad reformandam Ecclesiam, nemo in eorum libris non plane hospes non facile perspicit. GAR. 2. Cum in alieni peccati imputatione, non habitus, sed actiones imputentur, sicut patere potest omnia illa exempla percurrenti, quae supra magno numero producta sunt, quid mirum, si etiam in ista causa non habitus, sed actio tantum Adami memoratur? PLAC. Si habitus sunt peccata, si reos faciunt eos in quibus sunt, quid est cur non possint imputari? Certe, non minus quam actualia nostra, imputata sunt vadi nostro, ut pro eorum reatu satisfaceret. Alienorum autem peccatorum si qua facta est imputatio, unde habes separata ab habitualibus imputata fuisse peccata actualia? Et ut id probari posset, tamen peculiaris est ratio habitus corruptionis Adami, qui fuit peccatum naturae, cum eius causa inobedientia actualis fuerit potius peccatum personae; Ille propagatur cum natura, haec non item.
