On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §369

Man. Post. Cap. VII: PLAC courtier needs judicial act; Adam falls by the act itself

But Adam, faith being violated, made an apostate from God and a rebel against God, could no longer be integral, just, holy, upright, or good. Nor was any judgment of God, or any judicial action, needed for him to be deprived of justice and rectitude. By this very thing—that he fell—he ceased to be in the grade in which he had been placed. By this very thing—that he twisted and bent himself from the true last end to a falsely apparent one—he ceased to be upright. By this very thing—that unwilling to render God his right he became unfaithful and a rebel to his creator and best lord—he ceased to be just.

Latin

Adamus vero violata fide factus a Deo apostata, Deo rebellis, non potuit amplius integer, justus, sanctus, rectus, bonus esse: nec ut privaretur justitia & rectitudine ullo Dei judicio, ulla actione judiciaria opus fuit: hoc ipso quod lapsus est desiit esse in eo, in quo collocatus fuerat, gradu: hoc ipso quod se a fine ultimo vero ad falso apparentem intorsit & incurvavit, desiit rectus esse, hoc ipso quod suum Deo jus reddere noluit infidelis & rebellis creatori suo & domino optimo, desiit justus esse.
