Both schools agree: before sin man was free of the necessity of dying, yet able to sin and to die
In this question one thing is entirely certain and, as appears from what has been said, approved by the common consent of both the Roman and the Reformed schools: before sin man was free from the necessity of dying, yet so placed that he could sin, and so could also die. And man was immortal in no other sense than this.
Latin
XXVI. Porro in hac quaestione illud omnino certum est, &, ut ex dictis apparet, communi consensu Scholae tam Romanae quam Reformatae probatum, hominem ante peccatum fuisse a necessitate moriendi immunem, in eo tamen fuisse, ut peccandi, sic etiam moriendi possibilitatem. Et hominem non alio quam isto sensu fuisse immortalem.
