But if the word 'as soon as' (quamprimum) was absent from those words in which it was conceived, why did the learned man insert and add it of his own? If in conceiving that covenant God used that word, whence does the learned man have it that it is to be taken in so precise a sense as to exclude the habit for this reason—that if not by some moment of time, perhaps by a moment of nature, actual sin was followed? GAR. If a comparison is instituted between Adam's actual disobedience and the ensuing habitual corruption, we shall see that this corruption was an effect of that disobedience, and so a penalty by God's just judgment of that actual sin. But penalty is not imputed; rather the sin which is the meritorious cause of that penalty. What wonder, then, if that disobedience was rather imputed than this corruption?

Latin

Quod si vox quamprimum abfuit ab illis verbis quibus conceptum fuit, cur eam vir doctus de suo inseruit & addidit? Si in concipiendo illo foedere Deus illa voce usus est, unde habet vir doctus eam significatione tam praecisa esse accipiendam, ut excludat habitum ideo, quia si non temporis forte aliquo naturae momento secutus est actuale peccatum? GAR. Si comparatio instituatur actualis inobedientiae Adami, & consecuta corruptionis habitualis, videbimus hanc corruptionem fuisse effectum illius inobedientiae, atque adeo poenam justo Dei judicio illius peccati actualis. Poena vero non imputatur, sed peccatum potius quod est illius poenae causa meritoria. Quid ergo mirum, si illa inobedientia potius imputata est, quam ista corruptio?
