Yet they deny God is the author of sin: he effects only what is positive; the depravity is a privation
They deny, however, that it follows that God is the author of sin. In an act of sin God brings about only what is positive in it, and therefore good, and moves and determines the will to nothing beyond that.
The depravity and corruption attached to such an act is nothing positive requiring a cause that properly produces it. It is only the absence of the rightness the act ought to have, and it arises from the failure of the created will.
Latin
XIX. Inde tamen sequi negant Deum esse peccati authorem: quoniam Deus in actu peccati non aliud efficit quam id quod in eo est positivum, adeoque bonum; ac proinde non ad aliud movet & determinat: pravitas vero & vitiositas quae tali actui adhaeret, non est aliquid positivum, quod opus habeat causa proprie efficiente, sed solum rectitudinis debitae privatio, quae ex defectu creatae Voluntatis oritur.
