As for Christ's satisfaction, when we are said to have satisfied in Christ, nothing else seems to me to be understood, except that Christ in our place satisfied for us: did Adam therefore likewise in our place sin for us? Each of us was bound to satisfy for himself. That was impossible for us. Christ, who was not bound, constituted himself our surety, and satisfied for us. Can the same be said of us and of Adam? Were we bound to sin? Did Adam constitute himself our surety, that he might sin for us?

Latin

Ad satisfactionem Christi quod attinet, cum dicimur in Christo satisfecisse, nihil aliud intelligi mihi videtur, nisi Christum loco nostro pro nobis satisfecisse: num igitur similiter Adamus loco nostro pro nobis peccavit? Tenebamur pro se quisque satisfacere. Id erat nobis impossibile. Christus, qui non tenebatur, vadem nostrum sese constituit, & pro nobis satisfecit. Potestne idem de nobis & Adamo dici? Tenebamurne peccare? num sese Adamus vadem nostrum constituit, ut pro nobis peccaret?
