GAR. But what the theologians teach—that Adam sinned as the head of men, and that that first disobedience of his is rightly imputed to posterity—he shakes with various engines of questions and erotemata, to which others also add some things, all of which we will here bind into one fascicle. PLAC. Neither do I strip Adam of the title of head of men, nor do I deny that that first disobedience of his is rightly imputed to posterity, if it is understood to be imputed by means of the corruption propagated from it into us. I only deny that Adam so sinned as the head of men that his first disobedience can or ought to be imputed to us immediately. Now these questions are all excerpted partly from my Theses, partly from this later Manuscript, except one. Therefore not all are of this place; yet it will not be useless to keep them safe in this place from the learned man's replies: since in them the debate is about the cause on account of which that sin is said to be immediately imputed—to the investigating of which this chapter is destined.

Latin

GAR. Quod vero docent Theologi Adamum peccasse ut caput hominum, & jure posteris imputari primam illam eius inobedientiam, variis quaestionum & erotematum machinis quatit, quibus & alii nonnulla etiam addunt, quae omnia hic in unum fasciculum compingemus. PLAC. Nec Adamo elogium capitis hominum detraho, nec jure posteris imputari primam illam eius inobedientiam nego, si imputari intelligatur mediante corruptione ex ipsa in nos propagata. Tantum nego ita Adamum ut caput hominum peccasse, ut nobis possit, aut debeat prima eius inobedientia imputari immediate. Sunt autem hae quaestiones partim e Thesibus meis, partim ex hoc posteriore Manuscripto omnes, praeter unam, excerptae. Itaque non omnes sunt hujus loci; non erit tamen inutile eas hoc loco a responsionibus viri docti tutas praestare: quoniam in illis de causa agitur, ob quam peccatum illud immediate dicitur imputari; cui investigandae hoc caput destinatum est.
