Therefore it is not asked between us in what sense Scripture employs the word 'to impute' in this question—for it never employs it—but in what sense in my theses (seeing that you have set out to refute them) I denied that Adam's sin is imputed to us, so that that negation of mine may be known whether true or false, and παραλογισμός avoided. At length you conclude that sin is imputed when it is attributed, considered, and held for sin and punished as sin; on the opposite side, that sin is not imputed when it is not considered as sin, but is covered, pardoned, and remitted. Which certainly is not fitted to our question.

Latin

Itaque non quaeritur inter nos, quo sensu Scriptura usurpet in hac quaestione verbum imputandi; nunquam enim usurpat, sed quo sensu in meis thesibus (quandoquidem tu eas refutare aggressus es) negaverim peccatum Adami nobis imputari, ut mea illa negatio, qualis sit, verane an falsa cognoscatur, ac vitetur παραλογισμός. Tandem concludis, peccatum imputari, cum attribuitur, consideratur, & pro peccato habetur & punitur ut peccatum; Ex opposito peccatum non imputari, cum non consideratur ut peccatum, sed tegitur, condonatur & remittitur. Quod certe non est accommodatum ad quaestionem nostram.
