GAR. Indeed, if someone should happen to think these things ought not so to be done by men, but that the norm of their judgments ought to be that law given to the Jews about sons not being punished for the father's crime, Deut. 24:16—still it would by no means follow from that that God also cannot depart from the same norm in his judgments; since he is bound by no laws, but his own will is to him the norm and law of what is to be done.

Latin

GAR. Imo si forte sentiret aliquis, haec ita fieri non debere ab hominibus, sed iis judiciorum suorum normam esse debere legem illam Judaeis datam de filiis pro crimine patris non puniendis, Deut. 24. 16. tamen haudquaquam inde consequeretur, Deum etiam in suis judiciis ab eadem norma non posse discedere; cum ipse nullis legibus obstringatur, sed sua sit ipsi voluntas agendorum norma & lex.
