On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §682

Man. Post. Cap. X tip — paradise ban was ceremonial and abrogated; three v.13 arguments, none for you

And even if that law had not ceased to be, first when man was cast out of paradise, then when paradise itself was taken away—as it no doubt did cease—still the Lord would have abrogated it at his coming, as he did the legal ceremonies.

For that ban was a kind of ceremonial law fencing the freedom of human choice about a thing indifferent by its own nature.

As, therefore, violation of a ceremonial law cannot be imputed to us because we are not under the law, so violation of the law once given in the earthly paradise cannot be imputed to us, since we are not under it, and it was long ago abrogated.

And these three arguments verse 13 gave me—and none to you.

Latin

Ac ut lex illa primum eiecto e paradiso homine, deinde ipso paradiso sublato, esse non desiisset, quemadmodum proculdubio desiit, tamen eam ut legales caeremoniae Dominus suo adventu abrogasset. Fuit enim interdictum illud ceremonialis quaedam lex libertatem arbitrii humani circa rem natura sua indifferentem circumscribens. Quemadmodum igitur non potest nobis imputari violatio legis ceremonialis quia non sumus sub lege, sic non potest nobis imputari violatio legis olim latae in paradiso terrestri, quoniam sub ea non sumus, ac iam olim abrogata est. Atque haec tria argumenta versus 13. mihi dedit, tibi nullum.
