VI.Certain points are here to be NOTED.First, Adams sin is imputed to posterity not by imitation alone, but by a real communication of guilt, because all were in Adam as in a head and root (Romans 5:12).Second, propagation happens through natural generation, not through creation of the soul as sinful by God.Third, original sin is not a substance, but a privative accident and a positive habit of evil.Fourth, it does not take away free choice as to natural acts, but deprives of powers toward spiritual good.Fifth, baptism and regeneration do not remove all corruption in this life, but the guilt and dominion of sin (Romans 6-7).

VI. Sunt autem hic quaedam NOTANDA. 1. Peccatum Adami imputatur posteris non sola imitatione, sed reali communicatione reatus, quia omnes in Adamo tanquam in capite et radice fuerunt (Rom. 5:12). 2. Propagatio fit per generationem naturalem, non per creationem animae tanquam peccatricis a Deo. 3. Peccatum originale non est substantia, sed accidens privativum et positivum habitus mali. 4. Non tollit liberum arbitrium quoad actus naturales, sed privat viribus ad bonum spirituale. 5. Baptismus et regeneratio non auferunt totam corruptionem in hac vita, sed reatum et dominationem peccati (Rom. 6-7).
