Theological Theses · §1736 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Hence most Roman doctors grant it was natural in the sense of native, not acquired

It plainly follows that most teachers of the Roman Church grant, with the Protestants, that original righteousness was natural to the first man in the sense in which "natural" means the same as "native" and is opposed to what is acquired and added on top.

Latin

XLIII. Proindeque quod illinc manifeste sequitur, plerique Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae cum Protestantibus agnoscunt justitiam Originalem primo homini naturalem fuisse, quatenus naturale significat idem quod nativum, & opponitur ei quod est adventitium & superadditum.
