What then? Do you think those words—because you obeyed your wife's voice—were spoken to you, to your person, I say, and look to you immediately? Do you not see how personal it was, and proper to Adam, that he was Eve's husband, how fitted to his person these words are? Could God's sentence have been conceived in words more, so to speak, personal, more proper to Adam's person, less common to the human race?

Latin

Quid enim? putasne ista verba, quia paruisti voci uxoris tuae, tibi, tuae, inquam, personae dicta esse, & ad te immediate spectare? Nonne vides quam personale fuit, & proprium Adamo, maritum fuisse Evae, tam ad eius personam accommodata esse haec verba? Potuitne Dei sententia verbis concipi magis, ut ita loquar, personalibus, magis propriis personae Adami, minus communibus generi humano?
