GAR. I only marvel by what reason he judges that those who seek the cause of original corruption, and of all the penalties lying upon posterity from birth itself, in the imputation—and so the participation—of the first sin are bursting into God's secret mind, when he is not unaware that older and more recent theologians both teach this and profess that they drew it from the Apostle's doctrine in Romans 5, as will afterward be proved by most frequent testimonies. To press all these with so grave an accusation, as if by rash daring bursting into God's secret mind and crossing those limits which God set for man in Deuteronomy 29:29—I do not know whether it is sufficiently agreeable to faithfulness. PLAC. First the debate was about that inward act of God by which God was said to have considered all men as one man in Adam. Did the older and more recent theologians say that? Can that be gathered from the Apostle's doctrine in Romans 5? Did the learned man bring most frequent testimonies to prove it? To ascribe to God a consideration—a certain inward act of mind and will—beyond Scripture, beyond reason: what is it to burst into God's secret mind, if this is not?

Latin

GAR. Miror solum, qua ratione ductus, eos arbitretur in arcanam Dei mentem irrumpere, qui corruptionis Originalis, & omnium poenarum in posteros ab ipsa nativitate incumbentium causam quaerunt in imputatione, adeoque participatione primi peccati; cum non ignoret veteres & Recentiores Theologos, hoc & docere, & profiteri se hausisse ex Apostoli doctrina Roman. v. Sicut postea frequentissimis testimoniis probabitur. Hos omnes gravissima accusatione urgere, quasi in arcanam Dei mentem temerario ausu irrumpentes, & limites illos transeuntes, quos Deus homini praestituit Deuter. XXIX. 29. nescio an fideciore satis consentaneum sit. PLAC. Primum agebatur de eo Dei actu interno, quo dicebatur Deus omnes homines considerasse tanquam unum hominem in Adamo. Idne veteres & Recentiores Theologi dixerunt? Idne colligi potest ex Apostoli doctrina Roman. v? Attulitne Vir doctus frequentissima testimonia ut id probaret? Tribuere Deo considerationem, actum quendam mentis & voluntatis internum praeter Scripturam, praeter rationem, quid est irrumpere in arcanam Dei mentem, si hoc non est?
