GAR. I answer 1. It is one thing if you say simply that someone sins, another if you say that someone has sinned in another. For the former, surely by force of the word, does not signify imputation of sin, but this latter designates imputation. For how can those who existed many ages afterward be said to have already before sinned in another, except because he exercised their act, and he of the posterity is so reputed, as if they themselves had committed it?

Latin

GAR. Respondeo 1. Aliud est si dicas simpliciter aliquem peccare, aliud si dicas aliquem in alio peccavisse. Nam illud sane ex vi vocis non significat imputationem peccati, sed hoc posterius designat imputationem. Quomodo enim qui multis post saeculis exstiterunt, dici possunt iam antea in alio peccasse, nisi quia ille eorum actum exercuit, & qui posterorum ita reputatur, ac si ipsi illum commisissent?
