On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §319

Man. Post. Cap. VI: GAR 2 Rom 5 comparison; PLAC abstains where compared

n those places where Christ is called our righteousness, no comparison is instituted between Adam and Christ: which if it had been instituted, as was done in Romans 5, who does not know whether Paul would have used that phrase by which he would teach that Adam is our sin, as Christ is our righteousness, even if not altogether on the same account. Argue from this: that where the Apostle institutes no comparison between Christ and Adam he uses that locution of Christ, but where he institutes some comparison between the two he abstains from it. Although, as I said, respect is had not to Scripture alone but also to all the theologians, who never use that locution of Adam.

Latin

GAR. 2. Locis illis, ubi dicitur Christus justitia nostra, nulla inter Adamum & Christum instituitur comparatio: quae si instituta fuisset, ut factum est Roman. 5. quis nescit annon ea phrasi usurus fuerit Paulus, qua doceret Adamum esse peccatum nostrum, sicut Christus est justitia nostra, etsi non eadem omnino ratione. PLAC. Ego vero inde argumentor, quod ubi nullam instituit Apostolus comparationem Christi inter & Adamum usurpat illam de Christo locutionem, ubi autem aliquam inter utrumque instituit comparationem ab ea abstinet. Quanquam, ut dixi, non ad solam Scripturam, sed etiam ad Theologos omnes habetur respectus, qui locutionem illam nunquam usurpant de Adamo.
