THE LATER MANUSCRIPT, that is, an Examination of a singular tractate On original sin, which argues that the first man's first sin is imputed to all, set against Theses on the state of fallen man before grace, disputed at Saumur on 16 March 1640 under Josue de la Place, professor of theology there. Chapter I. Heads of doctrine on original sin on which we agree. Let me address you, reverend Sir, as if we spoke face to face: so your presence before my eyes may wake my dullness and tune me to deeper reverence. By your singular prudence you wished to clear the state of the question by first laying down what we hold in common. I much approve that plan; yet (with your leave) you seem to me to have done neither part with enough care and clearness. Allow me therefore to do both after your example—briefly, yet so that from this friendly conference every confusion and ambiguity may, if possible, be cleared away.

Latin

MANUSCRIPTUM POSTERIUS, HOC EST, EXAMEN Tractatus singularis, De peccato originis, in quo demonstratur primum primi hominis peccatum omnibus hominibus imputari, oppositi Thesibus de statu hominis lapsi ante gratiam, disputatis Salmurii die 16. Martii An. 1640. sub Praesidio Josue Placei S. Theologiae Professoris in Academia Salmuriensi. CAPUT I. Capita doctrinae de Peccato originali de quibus inter nos convenit. LICEAT mihi, quaeso, Vir reverende, te, perinde ac si coram sermone res ageretur, compellare et alloqui: Sic enim, uti spero, tua, velut oculis meis obversantis praesentia me torpentem excitabit, et ad tui majorem reverentiam componet. Tu quidem pro tua singulari prudentia voluisti tibi viam ad statum controversiae constituendum munire, praestratis iis de quibus inter nos convenit. Quod tuum consilium valde probo; sed (quod cum tua bona venia dictum velim) visus es mihi neutrum praestitisse satis accurate et enucleate. Patere igitur ut utrumque tuo exemplo faciam breviter quidem, sed ita tamen, ut ab hac nostra amica collatione omnis, si fieri possit, tollatur confusio, omnis ambiguitas.
