GAR. The reply is ready at hand.

For meanwhile what the Apostle says—that sin is not imputed where there is no law—is altogether genuine to what he had said earlier in Romans 4:15: Where there is no law, there is no transgression either—which Calvin, to whom the opponent appeals, so explains as to teach that the Apostle is not speaking of any simple transgression from which no one is exempt, but calls it transgression where a mind taught what pleases God and what displeases him, with limits defined for it by God’s voice, knowingly and willingly breaks through, etc.

Latin

GAR. Responsio in promptu est. Interim enim quod dicit Apostolus, non imputari peccatum ubi non est lex, omnino genuinum est illi quod prius dixerat, Romani IV. 15. Ubi non est lex, ibi nec transgressio est, quod Calvinus, ad quem provocat opponens, ita exponit, ut doceat Apostolum non loqui de simplici ulla transgressione, a qua nemo eximitur, sed transgressionem appellare ubi animus edoctus quid Deo placeat, quidve displiceat, finitis voce Dei sibi definitis, sciens ac volens perrumpit, &c.
