On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §195

Man. Post. Cap. II GAR: inclination to like sins; not enough for alien imputation

Garissoles: It is an inclination to sins like Adam's first. True enough—but also to Adam's other sins. Shall we therefore say those other sins of Adam are likewise imputed to us? No: it is nowhere near enough, as a cause for imputing another's sin, that our sin bends our mind the same way. Many people have an inclination and a kind of natural push toward sins like other people's, with no imputation of those sins at all. And so on.

Latin

GAR. Est inclinatio ad peccata similia peccato illi primo Adae. Sane vero; Sed & ad alia Adami peccata. An ideo dicemus, reliqua itidem Adami peccata nobis imputari? Imo nequaquam sufficiens est alieni peccati imputationis causa, ut nostrum peccatum eodem animum nostrum inclinet & flectat. Multi enim inclinationem, & naturalem quendam impetum habent ad similia aliorum peccata, sine omni omnino illorum imputatione. &c.
