On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §571

Man. Post. Cap. IX: GAR — Christ-words for a creature? Calvin & Augustine forbid

GAR. And there can be some reason why someone should apply to an infant or to any man whatever those words by which, Calvin testifying, Christ exempts himself from the common crowd of men, and claims for himself alone the divine power, whose meaning has been known throughout all time. Do you think holy Augustine would have suffered this place to be accommodated to a creature, whether in jest or in earnest—he who, when he had diligently meditated those words, exclaims, Acknowledge the Creator, discern the creature?

Latin

GAR. Et quaedam ratio esse potest, ut quis ad infantem vel hominem quemcumque applicet ea verba, quibus teste Calvino Christus eximit se a vulgo hominum, sibiique solius divinam virtutem vindicat, cuius sensus ab initio usque mundi in omnia saecula diffusus fuerit. Putasne passurum Sanctum Augustinum, ut hic locus vel ioco, vel serio ad creaturam accommodaretur, qui cum ea verba diligenter meditatus esset, exclamat, Agnoscite Creatorem, discernite creaturam?
