On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §572

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — I hold Calvin/Augustine; reject your opinion for that absurd consequent

PLAC. The learned man seems to dispute for me, against himself. For I think the same with Calvin and Augustine, and that, I think, I have sufficiently testified in Disputation xi. book 1. for the Divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ; and now also I testify, who for that reason reject your opinion in this place, because from it follows the greatest absurdity, namely that those words of Christ can suit any other man. If this consequent seems absurd to you, as it certainly is, and indeed as absurd as can be, why does the antecedent from which it is drawn not seem equally absurd to you?

Latin

PLAC. Pro me, contra se, disputare Vir doctus videtur. Idem enim cum Calvino & Augustino sentio, idque Disp. xi. lib. 1. pro Divina Domini nostri Iesu Christi natura, satis, opinor, testatum feci; Nuncque etiam testor, qui ideo vestram opinionem reiicio hoc loco, quia ex ea sequitur maximum absurdum, nempe verba illa Christi cuilibet alii homini convenire posse. Si videtur vobis absurdum hoc consequens, ut est certe, & quidem tam absurdum quam quod maxime, cur non videtur vobis pariter absurdum antecedens unde ducitur?
