On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §687

Man. Post. Cap. X: PLAC — Gen 2:17 does not carve imputation of the bite onto all posterity

What the learned man adds in the following §28—that the law according to which that judicial imputation is made is that primal law, In the day you eat you shall die—seems marvelous to me.

For by what argument has he carved out of those words that that eating ought to be imputed to all Adam’s posterity?

All men are indeed sharers in the penalties, but because they are sharers in the sin.

For once this was propagated, what reason is there why those penalties would not have been propagated?

Latin

Quod §. xxviii. sequente subiungit Vir doctus legem secundum quam illa imputatio iudiciaria sit, esse primigeniam illam legem, Quo die comederis, morte morieris, mihi mirum videtur. Quo enim argumento ex verbis illis exsculpsit, manducationem illam omnibus Adami posteris imputari debere? Participes quidem sunt poenarum omnes homines, sed quia sunt participes peccati. Hoc enim propagato, quid est cur illae non propagatae fuissent?
