On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §640

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC tip — only Adam & Eve then; he did not mean to sin in our place; cannot for non-consenters

Certainly, just as at that time there was no human person in the world besides Adam and Eve, so no human person besides those two either could or ought to obey that law for that time. Nor did Adam sin with the mind of sinning in our place; and even if that had been his mind, it is in no one's power to sin in the place of another who does not consent. Nor did nature's law require that he sin in posterity's place, nor did it befit God's goodness and justice to effect and appoint that.

Latin

Certe quemadmodum tunc temporis nulla erat in mundo persona humana praeter Adamum & Evam, sic nulla praeter eos duos persona humana aut poterat, aut debebat legi illi pro illo tempore parere. Neque vero Adamus ea mente peccavit ut loco nostro peccaret, neque, si mens ea ipsi fuisset, in cuiusquam potestate est loco alterius non consentientis peccare. Neque id naturae lex exigebat ut posterorum loco peccaret, neque Dei bonitatem & iustitiam decebat id efficere & constituere.
