nd, although in that explanation of dissimilarities there is what we may deservedly desire.For first, though four things were proposed—concerning separable goods, concerning other ways of losing, concerning the judge's decree, concerning sons being born and grandsons—yet when the heads of dissimilarity are explained, nothing is said of the first member.The goods, you say, of the traitor are separable by their nature.What then?And Adam's goods, which he had received for himself and his, were they not separable from him by their nature?Nay, they were not only separable, but were actually separated, seeing they were lost by that first disobedience.Therefore in this the dissimilarity is set up in vain.
Latin
GAR. Secundo, quanquam in explicatione illa dissimilitudinum est, quod merito desideremus. Primum enim cum quatuor proposita fuerint, de bonis separabilibus, de aliis modis amittendi, de judicis decreto, de filiis nascentibus & nepotibus: tamen ubi dissimilitudinis capita explicantur, de primo membro nihil dicitur. Bona, inquis, perduellis sunt separabilia natura sua. Quid igitur? Et bona Adami, quae pro se, & suis acceperat, non erant ab ipso separabilia natura sua? Imo non separabilia tantum fuerunt, sed & actu separata sunt, quippe amissa per primam illam inobedientiam. Ergo in hoc frustra dissimilitudo statuitur.
