IV. Paternal chastisement is that by which, for sinners looking to the blessed seed of the woman, their old nature is reformed through a temporary cross after the manner of an adult. Hence the Apostle in Romans 8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. And verses 28-29. V. And this is either of the first parents or of posterity. On the first parents were laid: expulsion from paradise, labor, pain of childbirth, subjection, temporal death (Genesis 3:16-19). To posterity the same were transmitted with original sin.

Latin

IV. Castigatio paterna est, qua peccatoribus ad benedictum semen mulieris respicientibus vetus ipsorum natura per crucem temporariam adultus instar reformatur. Hinc Apostolus Rom. 8:1: Nulla igitur nunc est condemnatio iis qui in Christo Iesu, qui non secundum carnem ambulant, sed secundum spiritum. Et v. 28-29. V. Est vero haec protoplastorum aut posterorum. Protoplastis irrogata sunt: expulsio e paradiso, labor, dolor partus, subiectio, mors temporalis (Gen. 3:16-19). Posteris eadem transmissae sunt cum originali peccato.
