He made a distinction so that no one would think sin had passed on. Death, which had gone before, was shown under justice’s judgment to follow grounds for punishment which it found in each sinner’s pursuit of an evil will. He therefore showed that nature must not be accused, but deliberate conduct.

Latin

Fecit distinctionem, ne quis putaret transisse peccatum, ut mors, quae praecucurrit, iudicante iustitia secuta probaretur materias ultionis, quas in unoquoque peccatore de studio malae voluntatis invenerat. Ostendit igitur non naturam accusandam esse, sed studia.
