Du Moulin: to know and love God was natural to Adam; his purity not a bridle laid on from outside
Pierre du Moulin explains his view on this as follows: "We maintain that before the fall it was natural for Adam to know and love God. In unfallen nature we recognize no leaning toward rebellion, for there was nothing that had to be held in check, though there was something that had to be governed. Nor do we think that Adam's purity before the fall was a bridle put on him from outside, or a rider set on his back, but a natural strength." (Disputation on the State of Innocence, thesis 25, in the Thesaurus of Sedan Theses.)

XXX. Sic vero suam ea de re mentem exponit Petrus Molinaeus. Contendimus, inquit, Adamo ante lapsum naturale fuisse Deum cognoscere & amare. Nec in natura integra agnoscimus ullam proclivitatem ad rebellionem, quia nihil erat quod coerceretur, quamvis esset quod regeretur. Nec putamus puritatem Adami ante lapsum fuisse fraenum extrinsecus injectum, aut sessorem adhibitum, sed virtutem naturalem. Disputat. de statu Innocentiae. Thesi XXV. in Thesauro Thesium Sedanensium.
