On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §200

Man. Post. Cap. II: Posterior quaestio de poena — distinguish; Adam separate; proprie/improprie

Before we go further, the later question on the penalty tied to this imputed sin needs clearing. Two moves first: sort out what penalty means, and keep Adam distinct from us. Penalty can be named properly or improperly, and even the proper sense branches many ways. I will not catalogue every species you already know—that would be long and beside our point. Hold only the sense in which you and the other brothers whose case you defend against me call hereditary corruption a penalty.

Latin

Posterior quaestio de hujus peccati imputati poena etiam ipsa aliquam explicationem desiderat. Primum autem poena distinguenda est; deinde separandus a nobis Adamus. Poena dicitur vel proprie, vel improprie. Proprie rursus multipliciter: sed nihil opus est omnia poenarum genera quae te nosse arbitror, enumerare, id enim cum longum esset, tum ad rem quam agimus inutile. Satis est tenere quo sensu corruptio haereditaria poena dicatur a te aliisque fratribus nostris, quorum sententiam adversus me tueri vis.
