PLAC. Here again it is denied that corruption is imputed, that it is sin, and a doctrine so opposed to the confessions of Protestant faith is driven in. As for his saying that corruption is an effect of that actual disobedience: if he takes effect in a somewhat looser sense, it may be admitted. For it stands to that disobedience as heat to the heating by which it is produced. But what he deduces from that—that it is the penalty of that disobedience—does not necessarily follow: for not every effect of a sin is its penalty. Certainly habits are not properly either rewards of good acts or penalties of bad ones. How corruption is a penalty, and can be ascribed to God's just judgment, has been explained above and will be explained below as well. For the rest, in whatever sense it is called penalty, that does not hinder it from being a sin worthy of another penalty, and therefore imputable.

Latin

PLAC. Hic rursus negatur corruptio imputari, esse peccatum, & doctrina tam opposita confessionibus fidei Protestantium inculcatur. Quod autem ait corruptionem esse illius inobedientiae actualis effectum, si effectum accipit significatione paulo laxiore admitti potest? Se habet enim ad illam inobedientiam ut calor ad calefactionem per quam producitur. Quod vero inde deducit, eam esse poenam illius inobedientiae, non consequitur necessario: non enim omne peccati effectum illius poena est. Certe habitus neque bonarum actionum praemia, neque malarum poenae esse proprie solent. Quomodo autem corruptio poena sit, & justo Dei judicio tribui possit, & supra explicatum est, & infra etiam explicabitur. Caeterum quocunque sensu poena dicatur, id non impedit, quin sit peccatum dignum alia poena, ac proinde imputabile.
