Cap. X: Garissoles’s contradiction; Placeus keeps consequent reatus — before Cap. XI

I can also charge Lord Garissoles with a contradiction here. He says that if no guilt precedes corruption, we do not need Christ’s imputed justice; yet elsewhere he admits an imputation and a guilt that follow corruption. What matching remedy answers that later guilt? Sanctification? It does not properly stand against guilt. Christ’s imputed justice? Once consequent or mediate imputation is granted, that justice is what we need. So Placeus does not shake the doctrine of Christ’s imputed righteousness: he owns consequent imputation and guilt, and with them original sin and the need for Christ’s satisfaction — and he shares nothing with Socinian, Arminian, and kindred errors.

Latin

Possem etiam hoc loco contradictionem Domino Garissolio objicere. Ait enim, si nullus sit reatus prior corruptione, non esse opus imputata Christi justitia, & tamen alibi fatetur esse imputationem, & reatum corruptione posteriorem. Huic reatui qui corruptionem sequitur, quod justa proportione remedium respondet? sanctificatio? non opponitur proprie reatui. Justitia Christi imputata? Haec igitur, posita imputatione consequente seu mediata, nobis necessaria est. Itaque non labefactatur a Placeo doctrina de justitia Christi imputata: agnoscit enim imputationem & reatum consequentem; atque adeo peccatum originale, & satisfactionis Christi necessitatem, nihilque habet cum erroribus Socinianorum, Arminianorum &c, conjunctum.
