GAR. 2. But consider the vain subtilty of the reasoning in a like example. So Christ's satisfaction is imputed to us, that we are said to have satisfied in Christ. Let someone from the flock of the Socinians approach; about to take mutual arms against that doctrine, he will rise against the learned man and against the truth with subtle argumentation. When then at last do we satisfy in Christ, by his actual satisfaction? When Christ himself satisfied on the cross? Or at another time? Surely when he satisfied on the cross. But hear. Those who have satisfied so as to placate the wrath of God, those have truly and properly satisfied. Those who have truly and properly satisfied, then when they satisfied, truly and properly were. Therefore has the Christian who now lives truly been, when Christ hung on the cross? What seems? Is it not a strongly twisted dart? Let him who taught to knot it loose the knot. For he will not refute the Socinian so as not also by the same reason to traduce his own subtilty.

Latin

GAR. 2. Sed ratiocinii vanam subtilitatem considera in exemplo simili. Ita imputatur nobis Christi satisfactio, ut in Christo satisfecisse dicamur. Accedat e Socinianorum grege quispiam; adversus eam doctrinam arma mutua biturus, Viro docto & in veritatem subtili argumentatione consurget. Quando vero demum satisfacimus in Christo, satisfactione eius actuali? An cum Christus ipse satisfecit in cruce? An alio tempore? Certe cum satisfecit in cruce. Sed audi. Qui satisfecerunt, ita ut iram Dei placarent, illi vere & proprie satisfecerunt. Qui vere & proprie satisfecerunt, tunc cum satisfecerunt, vere & proprie fuerunt. Ergone Christianus qui nunc vivit vere fuit, cum Christus penderet in cruce? Quid videtur? Annon valide contortum telum? Dissolvat nodum qui nectere docuit. Nec enim Socinianum refellet, ut non & eadem ratione subtilitatem suam traducat.
