On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §696

Man. Post. Cap. X: PLAC — law’s force is mandate or threat; the mandate neither lasts nor reaches us

not quarrel over that distinction of the law, nor over the words in which it is framed; I will only say that the force of a law is regarded either in the mandate or in the threat.

That the former neither perseveres nor pertains to us is certain.

That the latter pertains to us the learned man neither proves, nor do I see how it can be proved.

Latin

PLAC. Nec distinctionem illam legis, nec verba quibus concepta est, exagitabo; tantum dicam vim legis vel in mandato, vel in comminatione spectari. Illam nec perseverare, nec ad nos pertinere certum est. Hanc ad nos pertinere nec probat Vir doctus, nec quomodo probari possit intelligo.
