PLAC. Who does not see that the most excellent Cameron is describing there not the life promised to Adam under the condition of perfect obedience, but absolutely man's highest good as the Word of God—or the Gospel—promises it? What the covenant of grace promises differs sharply from what the covenant of nature was promising Adam.

Who also does not see that our most illustrious colleague Amyraut means, so to speak, physical goods—not the merely moral ones whose continuance God was requiring of Adam?

Latin

PLAC. Quis non videt a praestantissimo Camerone describi eo loco, non vitam quatenus promissa Adamo sub perfectae obedientiae conditione fuerat, sed absolute summum hominis bonum, quale Dei verbo seu Euangelio promittitur? Differt autem admodum id quod foedere gratiae promittitur, ab eo quod foedere naturae promittebatur Adamo. Quis etiam non videt, Clariss. Collegam D. Amyraldum bona intelligere, ut ita loquar, physica, non autem ea quae mere moralia erant, quorumque continuatio exigebatur ab Adamo?
