GAR. Reply. The minor is not simply true, if one hears Cameron, Lectures on the Word of God, chapter 7: "Man's highest good is a perfect state of soul and body—of the whole man—complete in every respect, so that nothing further can or ought to be asked. This state and condition is the image of God. The image of God sits in two things: sanctity, and the blessed immortality that follows sanctity." If the life promised to Adam was his perfect state, and that life consists in sanctity, then the promised life consisted in sanctity.

Nor does the most illustrious Amyraut speak otherwise, On the Three Covenants, Thesis II: "The promise of that first covenant had to consist in perpetual life, abounding in every kind of good that could belong to man's mind and body." But ought not justice and sanctity to be counted among the goods of the mind?

Latin

GAR. Resp. Minorem non esse simpliciter veram, si audiatur Camero praelect. de verbo Dei cap. 7. Summum hominis bonum est animi & corporis, adeoque totius hominis status perfectus atque omnibus numeris absolutus, nihil ut ultra requiri vel debeat, vel possit amplius. Hic vero status & conditio est imago Dei. Ceterum imago Dei in duobus sita est, in sanctitate, & qua sanctitatem sequitur, beata immortalitate. Si vita promissa Adae erat status ipsius perfectus, & ea vita consistit in sanctitate. Ergo vita promissa consistebat in sanctitate. Nec aliter Clar. Amyraldus, De trib. foeder. Thes. II. Promissio foederis illius primi consistere debuit in vita perpetua, & affluente omni bonorum genere, qua tum in animum, tum in corpus hominis competere potuissent. Justitia autem & sanctitas nonne inter animi bona censeri debent?
