On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §601

You will object that here too you add the Apostle's saying that Levi was tithed in Abraham because he was still in his father's loins when Melchizedek met him. But the Apostle plainly hints that that phrase is not only not proper, but harsh, when he softens it with the preface "so to speak." Next, I answered that place in the theses, and you take my answer to refute it at the end of chapter 9 of your treatise; how well, when following your steps I reach that place, God helping, I will show—and by the same work I will uncover the Apostle's reasoning as most solid, yet altogether foreign to the imputation disputed between us.

Latin

Objicies, quod etiam hoc loco subiungis Apostolum dixisse Levi fuisse decimatum in Abrahamo quia adhuc in lumbis patris erat, cum ei occurreret Melchisedec. Sed Apostolus satis innuit phrasim illam non modo non esse propriam, sed duram, cum eam emollivit hac praefatione ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν. Deinde ad locum illum respondi in thesibus, & tu meam responsionem tibi sumis refellendam in extremo cap. 9. tui tractatus; quam bene, cum tuis vestigiis insistens ad eum locum pervenero, Deo iuvante, ostendam, eademque opera ratiocinationem Apostoli retegam longe solidissimam, sed ab imputatione, quae inter nos controvertitur, alienam omnino.
