Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — evangelical-justice reply; sin's ratio unlike gifted righteousness

But someone will say: we are reckoned before God as if we were just. Yes—we truly are just, not by a legal righteousness but by an evangelical one; not by a righteousness of works but of faith; not by a righteousness that proceeds from us or is acquired by us, but given by God and received through faith. The case of sin is different: it is not promised, not given by God, not received by one who does not yet exist.

Latin

At, inquiet aliquis, censemur apud Deum ac si iusti essemus. Nempe reuera iusti sumus, non iustitia legali sed evangelica, non iustitia operum sed fidei, non iustitia a nobis profecta aut acquisita, sed data a Deo & per fidem accepta. Dispar est ratio peccati: non promittitur, non datur a Deo, non accipitur a nondum existente.
