GAR. 6. Finally the imputation of sin is indeed that action of God, proceeding from God as judge, but tending into humans, as into a term, and in that respect entering or coming into a human, because of the effects which it produces in him, that is, because of the penalties with which it afflicts him. So curse is an action of God Gen. XII. 3. Malachi 2. 2. And yet it is said to enter into some humans Psalm 109. 18. The curse shall enter, like water, within him, and like oil into his bones. But that the imputation of sin is an action of God remaining inside God theologians hardly grant, who are accustomed to distinguish God's actions into immanent and transeunt; they call immanent those which terminate in God himself, as intellection, and volition, by which he understands and loves himself: transeunt, those which terminate in creatures, such as the actions of divine providence. But these I leave to be disputed by others.

Latin

GAR. 6. Denique imputatio peccati, est illa quidem actio Dei, a Deo tanquam judice profecta, sed in homines tendens, tanquam in terminum, & eo respectu in hominem intrans aut veniens, propter effectus quos in ipso producit, id est, propter poenas quibus eum afficit. Sic maledictio est actio Dei Gen. XII. 3. Malach. 2. 2. Et tamen intrare dicitur in homines aliquos Psal. CIX. 18. Maledictio ingredietur, velut aqua, intra eum, & velut oleum in ossa eius. Quod autem imputatio peccati sit actio Dei intra Deum manens Theologi vix concedant, qui cum Dei actiones distinguere soleant in immanentes & transeuntes; immanentes eas vocant, quae in ipso Deo terminantur, ut intellectionem, & volitionem, qua seipsum intelligit & diligit: transeuntes, quae terminantur in creaturas, quales sunt actiones divinae providentiae. Sed haec aliis disceptanda relinquo.
