A DISPUTATION ON THE PENALTY OF DEATH, which God threatened to Adam for eating the fruit of the forbidden tree.¹

DISPVTATIO DE POENA MORTIS, quam Deus Adamo edendi fructum arboris vetitae comminatus est.

CAETERVM, ex illis verbis Domini, In quocúque die comederis ex eo, morte morieris, nonnullae nec leves, nec ignobiles quaestiones existunt, diligenter hoc loco explicandae.

But from those words of the Lord, “In whatever day you eat of it, you shall die the death,” several questions arise, neither slight nor ignoble, to be carefully explained in this place.²
