PLAC. Besides the fact that this reason is a confutation of the learned man’s prior reply, it labors under a triple falsehood.

First, it is false that all the penalties of sin which have thus far lain upon all men sprung from Adam, and will lie to the end of the ages, were the vindication of sin set from the institution of a law by a lawful judge.

That is plain from this: that most such penalties are inflicted no less on the pious, for whom Christ has most fully satisfied justice and the law, than on the impious.

Latin

PLAC. Praeterquam quod haec ratio est superioris responsionis Viri docti confutatio, laborat triplici falsitate. Primo falsum est poenas omnes peccati, quae in omnes homines ab Adamo prognatos hactenus incubuerunt, & ad finem usque saeculorum incubiturae sunt, fuisse vindicationem peccati ex instituto legis a legitimo iudice positam. Id patet ex eo quod pleraeque eiusmodi poenae non minus infliguntur piis, pro quibus Christus plenissime iustitiae & legi satisfecit, quam impiis.
