I ask also, when did we satisfy in Christ? I think when he suffered. Was Christ's satisfaction therefore then imputed to us? Then therefore we were justified, not yet existing, not yet believing. We are therefore not justified by faith, seeing that our justification so far preceded both our existence and our faith. Add that we do not have union with Christ as our spiritual and mystical head except by faith; it follows therefore that the imputation of Christ's satisfaction, or our justification, follows our faith. What reason is there why we should not similarly say that we do not have union with Adam as head of sinners except by the hereditary vice by which he communicated his sin with us? And so the imputation of Adam's sin is later than that vice.

Latin

Peto etiam, quando in Christo satisfecimus? opinor quando passus est. Num igitur tunc nobis imputata est Christi satisfactio? Tunc igitur fuimus iustificati, nondum existentes, nondum credentes. Non ergo per fidem sumus iustificati, quandoquidem iustificatio nostra tanto nostram & existentiam & fidem antecessit. Adde quod unionem cum Christo tanquam capite nostro spirituali & mystico non habemus nisi per fidem, sequitur ergo fidem nostram imputatio satisfactionis Christi seu iustificatio nostra. Quid est cur non dicamus similiter nos unionem non habere cum Adamo tanquam capite peccatorum, nisi per vitium haereditarium, quo suum nobiscum peccatum communicavit. Itaque posteriorem esse eo vitio peccati Adamici imputationem.
