You will perhaps say that death is the Devil's work, which yet sin follows by the intervention of divine imputation and judgment. Namely, because the Devil is the cause of a sin which of itself and by its nature merits death, and which cannot fail to be imputed to the one in whom, or by whom, it is, unless satisfaction intervene.

Latin

Dices fortasse mortem esse opus Diaboli, quae tamen peccatum sequitur divina imputationis & judicii interventu: nempe, quia Diabolus causa est peccati, quod per se & natura sua meretur mortem, nec potest ei in quo, vel a quo est, nisi intercedat satisfactio, non imputari.
