Again I ask whether he can be said to have sinned properly or not—that is, not figuratively or metaphorically. No one will say he sinned only metaphorically or figuratively: for since penalty and sin answer each other, a penalty truly and properly so called presupposes a sin truly and properly so called—another's, when the penalty is inflicted on someone as surety for the sinner; one's own, when it is inflicted on him as on a sinner who has earned a properly so-called penalty.

Latin

Rursus quaero an proprie dici possit peccasse, necne, hoc est, non figurate, aut metaphorice? Nemo etiam dixerit, peccasse tantum metaphorice aut figurate: cum enim poena & peccatum sibi mutuo respondeant, poena vere & proprie dicta supponit peccatum vere & proprie dictum, alienum quidem cum poena infligitur alicui ut vadi peccatoris, suum vero, cum infligitur ut peccatori poenam proprie dictam commerito.
