GAR. Let us now drop the rhetorics, and what is said of a penalty that is itself in kind the evil of fault—something was said of this above, and occasion will return later to dispute it more fully. Let us attend only to the force of the argument, which can be woven thus. That the just be involved with the unjust in the same condemnation and death is alien to God's justice, Abraham witnessing. But in the imputation of another's sin, the just would be involved with the unjust in the same condemnation and death. Therefore the imputation of another's sin is alien to God's justice. PLAC. On what occasion, and how aptly, Abraham's testimony was brought by me the prudent Reader will consider if he please. Meanwhile the Argument the learned man has woven here I gladly take as my own, provided that in the minor "imputation of another's sin" is not understood of any whatever, but only of that about which the dispute between us is—namely that which precedes every sin inhering in us or committed by us.

Latin

GAR. Mittamus nunc quidem Rhetoricationes, & quod de poena dicitur, quae sit ipsa specie malum culpae, quia de hoc & aliquid dictum est superius, & recurret postea ea de re fusius disputandi occasio. Argumenti duntaxat vim attendamus, quod ita pertexi potest. Justos cum injustis eadem condemnatione & morte involvi, alienum est a Dei justitia, teste Abrahamo. Atqui in alieni peccati imputatione, justi cum injustis, eadem condemnatione & morte involverentur. Ergo alieni peccati imputatio est a Dei justitia aliena. PLAC. Qua occasione, & quam apposite testimonium Abrahami fuerit a me allatum Lector prudens, si placet, considerabit. Interim Argumentum quod hic vir doctus contexuit libenter pro meo habebo, modo in minore alieni peccati imputatio, non quaelibet intelligatur, sed ea duntaxat, de qua inter nos lis est, nempe antecedens omne peccatum nobis inhaerens aut a nobis commissum.
