GAR. 4. On this account the covenant was conceived by God with Adam: that as soon as he violated it, he would bind himself and his with that guilt. But he violated it before he had put on the habit of corruption; and that actual sin was prior in nature to that habit. Therefore the act was imputed, not the habit. PLAC. Would that the learned man had reported the words in which that covenant was conceived! For if he did not know them, how could he know that it was conceived on that account? What is easier than thus to invent reasons?

Latin

GAR. 4. Ea ratione foedus a Deo cum Adamo conceptum est, ut quamprimum illud violaret, se & suos illo reatu obstringeret. Violavit autem priusquam habitum corruptionis induisset: & fuit illud actuale peccatum natura prius illo habitu. Ideo actio imputata, non imputatus habitus. PLAC. Utinam vir doctus verba retulisset quibus illud foedus fuit conceptum! Nam si ea nescivit, qui scire potuit illud ea ratione fuisse conceptum? Quid est facilius quam sic rationes fingere?
