Man. Post. Cap. VIII: false unjust imputation; tip before Gospel-promise argument

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Consider, I beg you, what a false and unjust imputation would be, if this is not; And whether an action befits God which makes us sinners who otherwise were not sinners, and indeed formally, and of itself, and whether this is not to refer the cause of all our sins and evils to God; and give glory to your creator and redeemer. Call back to mind what I said in Cap. 3 of this examination § III. And do not think that opinion of yours was drawn and deduced from the fountains either of the ancient fathers, or of those who first and chiefly set hand to reforming the Church in the last century. Far otherwise did they think, as, God granting, I shall make plain in another Chapter. For now it is enough for me to untie the knots of your arguments.

Latin

Considera, quaeso, quae sit falsa & injusta imputatio, si haec non est; Et, an conveniat Deo actio, quae nos alioqui non peccatores, peccatores faciat, & quidem formaliter, & per se, & annon hoc sit causam omnium nostrorum peccatorum & malorum in Deum referre; & da gloriam creatori tuo & redemptori. Revoca in animum quae dixi Cap. 3. hujus examinis §. III. Neque puta tuam illam sententiam esse ex fontibus vel patrum antiquorum, vel eorum qui primi & praecipue manum admoverunt Ecclesiae Reformandae seculo superiore, haustam & deductam. Longe aliter illi senserunt, ut, Deo dante, faciam alio Capite manifestum. Nunc mihi satis est tuorum argumentorum nodos solvere.
