On the opposite side, Cain—envious and a murderer of his brother, born from the same nature but developing through a different will—is ravaged by trembling that tears his soul apart (Genesis 4:8–14, following the Greek/Old Latin description of his trembling). Thus the apostle said that sin entered this world through one man, and death through sin, and that death so passed into all human beings who sinned (Romans 5:12). This statement agrees with catholic doctrine and lends you no help (Genesis 4:8–14).

Latin

E regione Cain, invidus, parricida, de eadem natura progenitus, non eadem voluntate provectus, excarnificante animum tremore vastatur. Ergo in hunc mundum peccatum intrasse per unum Apostolus dixit et per peccatum mortem et ita in omnes homines mortem pertransisse, qui peccaverunt. Quae sententia catholico dogmati conveniens nihil vobis impertit auxilii.
