Man. Post. Cap. VII: PLAC Adam's goods inseparable from faithfulness

But what was the violation of the condition—Adam's sin? unfaithfulness, disobedience, ambition, pride, ingratitude, greed, curiosity, aversion from God, conversion to creatures, &c.—which, how they could have stood with perfect rectitude, justice, holiness, innocence, I for my part cannot understand. Hence another difference is born: for faith being violated, that the Courtier be deprived of the goods received from the King, there is need of the King's or a judge's action, namely judgment and execution of judgment. Otherwise those titles, dignities, and estates would be retained by the Courtier.

Latin

Quaenam autem fuit conditionis violatio, quod peccatum Adami? infidelitas, inobedientia, ambitio, superbia, ingratitudo, cupedia, curiositas, a Deo aversio, ad creaturas conversio &c. quae, quomodo cum perfecta rectitudine, justitia, sanctitate, innocentia consistere potuerint, equidem intelligere non possum. Hinc aliud nascitur discrimen, nam violata fide, ut bonis a Rege acceptis Aulicus privetur, opus est Regis, vel judicis actione, nempe judicio, & judicii executione. Alioqui tituli illi, dignitates, & fundi retinerentur ab Aulico.
