The decree of damnation, presupposeth some persons justly damnable, for otherwise it were either an unjust, or at least and unwise an indeliberate decree. But only sinners are justly damnable. Ergo, the decree of damnation presupposeth sinners, and consequently sin. For peccatum is de formali ratione peccatoris qua peccator est, as you know.

Resp. Every one indeed knows that peccatum is de formali ratione peccatoris, and hereupon it is manifest that the second Syllogism gives no mite of proof unto the 1first. For seeing formalis ratio of any thing, cannot be separated from the thing it self, and consequently neither peccatum from peccator; you may easily perceive, that when we deny that the decree of liberation from sin presupposeth sin, we must therewithal necessarily deny, that it presupposeth sinners.
