Garissoles replies. I will not contest the major here; later we can ask whether breaking a divine precept (which is sin) can also be sin's penalty. On the minor I distinguish two privations of righteousness: active and passive. Active is the man's own bad acting by which he strips himself of the righteousness God had given him. Passive is God's stripping the man of that righteousness and of the gifts heaped on him. Grant that the active privation is the same as law-breaking; the passive still is not.

Latin

GAR. Respond. De majore litem hic non moveo: disputabitur inferius, an violatio praecepti divini, quae peccatum est, possit esse poena peccati. Ad minorem dico, distinguendam esse privationem justitiae, ut aliam activam nominemus, aliam passivam. Activa est, qua homo ipse male agendo justitia seipsum spoliat, qua Deus illum impertiverat: passiva qua Deus hominem justitia privat, & donis quibus ipsum cumularat. Si ergo agnoscimus privationem activam justitiae idem esse cum violatione legis; de privatione tamen passiva id merito negabitur.
