On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §698

Man. Post. Cap. X: PLAC — if Adam alone had died that day, the threat was still satisfied

Is the sense, In the day you and all your posterity eat of it, you and your posterity shall die? Certainly not; for none of Adam’s posterity ate of it.

Is the sense then, In the day you eat of it, on that day you shall die the death—you and all your posterity?

Who does not see that the words and all your posterity are tacked on, and are no more contained in the word you die than in the word you eat?

But if on that day Adam had died, as his sin deserved, with the death of the body and the eternal death, as the sin would have been of one, so the punishment would have been of one—and yet the threat of the law would have been satisfied.

The example of Christ, who as our surety was punished in our place, I have already several times shown helps nothing the immediate imputation of Adam’s first actual disobedience.

Latin

An est sensus, Quo die tu & omnes posteri tui comederitis ex ea, tu & posteri tui moriemini? Non certe; nemo enim posterorum Adami ex ea comedit. Num igitur est sensus, Quo die tu comederis ex ea, eo die morte morieris tu & omnes posteri tui? Quis non videt verba & omnes posteri tui afficticia esse, nec magis contineri in verbo morieris, quam in verbo comederis? Quod si eo die mortuus fuisset Adam, ut merebatur eius peccatum, morte corporis & aeterna, quam unius fuisset peccatum, tam unius fuisset punitio, & tamen satisfactum fuisset legis comminationi. Exemplum Christi, qui, ut vas noster, loco nostro punitus est, iam aliquoties ostendi nihil iuvare imputationem immediatam primae Adami actualis inobedientiae.
