The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

Reus, guilty in the Latin is of a large signification. He who is Crimini obnoxius, or Poenae propter Crimen, or Voti debitor, or Promissi, or officij ex sponsione, is called, Reus. Especially every sponsor or Surety, is Reus in the Law. Cum servus pecuniam pro libertate pactus est, & ob eam rem, Reum dederit, (that is, sponsorem, expromissorem) quamvis servus ab alio manumissus est, Reus tamen obligabitur. He is Reus who engageth himself for any other, as to the matter of his engagement. And the same is the use of the word in the best Latin Authors. Opportuna loca dividenda Praefectis esse ac suae quique partis tutandae reus sit. Liv. de Bello Punic. lib. 5. That every Captain should so take care of the Station committed to him, as that if any thing happened amiss, it should be imputed unto him. And the same Author again, at quicunque aut propinquitate aut affinitate regiam contigissent, alienae culpae rei trucidarentur, should be guilty of the fault of another, (by Imputation) and suffer for it. So that in the Latin Tongue he is Reus, who for himself or any other is obnoxious unto Punishment or payment.
