e distinguished Amyraut say that the righteousness which inhered in Christ entered through him alone into humans?Certainly not: And yet that ought to have been said by him, so that by his locution the learned man's exposition could be defended.Namely by the name of righteousness which through one man was introduced into the world, either I am badly mistaken, or with Calvin he understood the remission of sins, and wished it introduced not into all humans, or into all believers by imputation alone, but obtained by Christ and given by the Father and offered to all by the preaching of the Gospel and accepted by faith by believers,in whom it remains constant: which cannot similarly be said of Adam's actual sin.
Latin
PLAC. Dixitne Clar. Amyr. justitiam quae Christo inhaesit, per eum unum in homines intrasse? Non certe: Attamen id ab eo dici oportuit, ut posset eius locutione expositio viri docti defendi. Nempe justitiae nomine, quae per unum hominem in mundum introducta est, aut vehementer fallor, aut cum Calvino remissionem peccatorum intellexit, eamque introductam voluit non in omnes homines, aut in omnes credentes sola imputatione, sed impetratam a Christo & donatam a Patre & praedicatione Evangelii oblatam omnibus & fide acceptam a credentibus, in quibus constans permanet: id quod de actuali Adae peccato dici similiter non potest.
