CAPUT VIII. The arguments of D. Garissoles from Romans 5, verses 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 are examined.

From verse 14 he joins this syllogism: There is this agreement between the type and the antitype (τὸ ἀντίτυπον), that what is exhibited in the thing represented by the type must have gone before in the type. But Adam is proposed as the type of Christ in those things that belong to the account of justification — namely that we should have condemnation in Adam in a like way to that in which we have justification in Christ (Romans 5:14). Therefore, since the account of our justification through Christ is that, his righteousness being communicated to us by imputation, we are justified, or are counted just before God, that must also be the account of our condemnation through Adam: that, his sin being communicated to us by imputation, we are condemned, and are counted sinners and guilty before God. First, whatever force this argument has, only consequent or mediate imputation can be concluded from it. For as the imputation of righteousness follows our faith, so the imputation of sin follows our corruption. If this is enough, let there be peace.

Latin

CAPUT VIII. Argumenta D. Gar. ex Rom. V. versibus 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. expenduntur. Ex versu 14. hunc nectit Syllogismum. Ea est inter typum & τὸ ἀντίτυπον convenientia, ut quod in re per typum representata exhibetur, illud in typo praecessisse oportuerit. Atqui Adamus proponitur ut typus Christi in iis quae ad rationem iustificationis pertinent; ut nempe simili modo condemnationem habeamus in Adamo, quo iustificationem habemus in Christo. Itaque cum ea sit ratio iustificationis nostrae per Christum, ut eius iustitia nobis per imputationem communicata iustificemur, sive pro iustis habeamur apud Deum; Eam etiam oportet esse condemnationis per Adamum nostrae rationem, ut illius peccato nobis per imputationem communicato condemnemur, & pro peccatoribus ac reis habeamur apud Deum. Principio quacunque sit hujus argumenti vis, eo nonnisi consequens seu mediata imputatio concludi potest. Nam ut imputatio iustitiae sequitur fidem nostram, sic imputatio peccati sequitur corruptionem nostram. Hoc si sufficit, pax esto.
