On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §352

Man. Post. Cap. VI: GAR just judgment conceded; PLAC Scripture not common opinion

, the learned man so concedes that God's just judgment intervenes here that nevertheless by his explanation of just judgment he seems to take care not to approach the common opinion. Ne thing I care for—that I say nothing not consentaneous to God's word and glory. I inquire not what other men think, but what they ought to think. Even if the whole world with one mouth cried that the sole cause why we are born corrupt is God's will, my conscience would nonetheless shrink from that as much as possible. The norm of my faith is sacred Scripture, not the opinions of men.

Latin

GAR. Deinde ita concedit vir doctus hic intervenire justum Dei judicium, ut sua tamen justi judicii explicatione id curare videatur, ne ad communem sententiam accedat. PLAC. Id unum curo, ne quid dicam quod Dei verbo & gloriae non sit consentaneum. Non quid alii homines sentiant, sed quid sentire debeant, inquiro. Etiamsi universus mundus uno ore clamaret, cur nascamur corrupti, unicam causam esse Dei voluntatem, hoc tamen nihilominus conscientia mea refugeret, ut quod maxime. Norma fidei meae est sacra Scriptura, non opiniones hominum.
