GAR. But these things set aside, what is this—that Adam's corruption turned the generative faculty to generation as to a last end? For that corruption, being universal, infected the other faculties no less than this one. Why then should it not be said to have turned the other faculties to their acts—the concoctive to concoction, the nutritive to nutrition, &c.—as to a last end? so that for the number of faculties there would also be a number of last ends. Which of those who know that man's last end can be only one would bear that?

Latin

GAR. Verum his missis, quid est, quod dicitur Adae corruptio convertisse facultatem generatricem ad generationem tanquam finem ultimum? Nam illa certe corruptio, cum sit universalis, alias etiam facultates infecit non minus quam istam. Quidni ergo caeteras facultates ad actus suos, concoctricem ad concoctionem, altricem ad nutritionem, &c. tanquam finem ultimum convertisse dicatur? ut sit pro facultatum numero etiam finium ultimorum numerus. Quod quis ferat eorum qui norunt finem ultimum homini non posse esse nisi unum?
