On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §598

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC tip — does antecedent imputation fit God's equity, glory, and truth?

Whether that befits God's equity, I ask you, reader, to consider carefully. For since the end set before us ought to be God's glory, see, I pray, whether that is glorious to God, and whether it makes his equity and justice clearer. See also whether it befits his truth. We sinned in Adam; we merited the just sentence of death—and that without doubt neither falsely nor figuratively: yet we did not properly or personally sin when Adam sinned; we are only reckoned before God as if, when he himself sinned, we all had sinned. Is this judgment according to the truth? Glorious to God?

Latin

Id ne Dei aequitatem deceat, rogo te, Lector, diligenter considera. Cum enim scopus nobis propositus debeat esse Dei gloria, vide, quaeso, num id sit Deo gloriosum, & an eius aequitatem & iusticiam faciat clariorem. Vide etiam an deceat eius veritatem? peccavimus in Adamo, iustam mortis sententiam meriti sumus, idque sine dubio nec falso nec figurate: tamen non proprie sive personaliter peccavimus cum Adamus peccavit; sed tantum censemur apud Deum, ac si cum ipse peccavit, omnes peccassemus. Hoccine iudicium est secundum veritatem? gloriosum Deo?
