On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §656

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC equity — impose our persons for sinning, snatch them lest he be punished loco

He imposed our persons on him so that he might sin in our place, and at the same moment took them away lest he likewise be punished in our place.

It is as if he had delighted in the death of us ourselves, who had ourselves sinned nothing, and by that imposition of our persons on Adam had sought nothing else than an occasion of making us all sinners.

Latin

Nostras personas ei imposuerit ut peccaret loco nostro, ac eodem momento abstulerit ne puniretur itidem loco nostro: perinde ac si nostra ipsorum qui nihil ipsi peccaveramus, morte delectatus fuisset, nihilque aliud illa personarum nostrarum impositione Adamo captasset quam occasionem nos omnes efficiendi peccatores.
