But what do you conclude from there? (for to transfer all your words hither would be laborious, and not necessary.) Just as, then, you say, a man is justified and blessed because he believes in him who justifies the ungodly; and his faith is imputed to him for righteousness without works, because sin is not imputed, it follows by the rule of contraries that a man is damned and miserable who does not believe in God, because sin is imputed to him unto condemnation. I concede. You add, and in general every sin which he committed. I admit. You subjoin, and in species this sin of Adam, which constitutes him a sinner. This I now deny, if, as is fair, by Adam's sin you understand his actual sin, and also immediate imputation.

Latin

Sed quid inde concludis? (nam omnia tua verba huc transferre operosum esset, nec necessarium.) Quemadmodum igitur, inquis, homo justificatur & beatus est, quia credit in eum qui justificat impium; & fides eius illi imputatur ad justitiam sine operibus, quia peccatum non imputatur, sequitur ex regula contrariorum, hominem damnari & miserum esse qui non credit in Deum, quia peccatum illi imputatur ad condemnationem. Concedo. Addis, & in genere omne peccatum quod commisit. Fateor. Subjungis, & in specie hoc peccatum Adami, quod ipsum constituit peccatorem. Hoc jam nego, siquidem, ut par est, per peccatum Adami ejus peccatum actuale intelligis, necnon imputationem immediatam.
