He imposed our persons on him so that he might sin in our place, and at the same moment took them away lest he likewise be punished in our place.
It is as if he had delighted in the death of us ourselves, who had ourselves sinned nothing, and by that imposition of our persons on Adam had sought nothing else than an occasion of making us all sinners.
Latin
Nostras personas ei imposuerit ut peccaret loco nostro, ac eodem momento abstulerit ne puniretur itidem loco nostro: perinde ac si nostra ipsorum qui nihil ipsi peccaveramus, morte delectatus fuisset, nihilque aliud illa personarum nostrarum impositione Adamo captasset quam occasionem nos omnes efficiendi peccatores.
