Rambour: grace raised Adam's natural gifts, making him a son and heir, not only a faithful servant
Rambour likewise recognizes supernatural gifts in Adam, in thesis 29 of the disputation just cited: "This does not mean that we take supernatural gifts away from Adam. God's grace adorned these same natural gifts and lifted them higher day by day, just as grace does not destroy nature but directs it and raises it higher than it can climb by its own strength.
"So the first man was not only an outstanding creature but also a son of God, adopted to enter into the heavenly inheritance. By nature he had the standing of a faithful servant who understood his Lord's will well and carried it out perfectly; by grace he also had the dignity of a son who hoped for his Father's blessing and inheritance."
Latin
XXXVIII. Ramburtius similiter in Adamo agnoscit dona supernaturalia, thesi vigesima nona modo citatae disputationis. Neque propterea, inquit, dona supernaturalia ab Adamo removemus. Gratia enim Dei haec eadem dona naturalia exornabat, in dies attollebat: quemadmodum gratia non destruit naturam, sed eam dirigit, & altius quam quo per vires suas eniti potest erigit. Ideo primus homo non modo fuit eximia creatura, sed etiam filius Dei, assumptus ad cernendam haereditatem caelestem, id est, non tantum habuit per naturam rationem servi fidelis, Domini voluntatem probe intelligentis, eamque perfecte exequentis, sed etiam per gratiam dignitatem filii paternam benedictionem & haereditatem sperantis.
