On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §684

Man. Post. Cap. X: PLAC — I take ‘no law, no imputation’ absolutely; sin is ἀνομία judged by a law

PLAC. This reply is not to the point.

For that proposition, sin is not imputed where there is no law, is taken by Calvin with a restriction to the written law and to men’s judgment.

But I now use it absolutely and without restriction, insofar as, taken universally, it is true.

For what is sin in general but ἀνομία, a wandering from a law, a transgression of law?

And what is judicial imputation but the act of a judge judging according to a law, whether that law was natural or positive, given by voice or in writing?

Latin

PLAC. Haec responsio ad rem non est. Propositio enim illa, non imputatur peccatum ubi non est lex, accipitur a Calvino cum restrictione ad legem scriptam, & hominum iudicium. Ego vero illam nunc quidem usurpo absolute & sine restrictione, quatenus, universaliter accepta, vera est. Quid enim est in genere peccatum, nisi ἀνομία, aberratio a lege, legis transgressio? & quid est iudiciaria imputatio, nisi actio iudicis iudicantis secundum legem, sive ea naturalis, sive positiva, voce aut scripto, lata fuerit?
