Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — not the same subtlety; not local motion

PLAC. It would indeed be the same subtlety, if my argument could be accommodated equally to corruption and to actual sin: but now since this subtlety of the learned man is situated in an argument very diverse from mine, I cannot understand why it is called the same subtlety, or what it harms in my arguments? Although it has no force. For who does not see that by that entry of sin is not to be understood an entry situated in local motion which is proper to bodies and substances?

Latin

PLAC. Eadem quidem esset subtilitas, si posset argumentum meum aeque corruptioni ac peccato actuali accommodari: nunc vero cum haec viri docti subtilitas in argumento a meo valde diverso sita sit, intelligere non possum, cur eadem subtilitas dicatur, aut quid argumentis meis noceat? Quanquam vim nullam habet. Quis enim non videt per illum peccati introitum non esse intelligendum introitum situm in motu locali qui proprius est corporum & substantiarum?
