On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §306

Man. Post. Cap. VI: GAR erotema 4 — actual vs habitual; Apostolic tip

s asked fourth. Why is Adam's actual sin imputed as of the head, which yet was a transient act; and why is the habitual not imputed, or Adam's corruption, which was a permanent vice? Reply 1. This is to be sought from the Apostle, who in this matter sets forth the fall and actual disobedience, but does not set forth the habit of corruption following from that disobedience. ould I seek it from the Apostle, who did not teach that imputation which I attack? Next, if the Apostle sets forth no habit of corruption following from that disobedience, Pighius cannot be refuted from the Apostle, nor can habitual corruption be proved.

Latin

GAR. Quaeritur quarto. Cur actuale peccatum Adami tanquam capitis imputetur, quae tamen fuit actio transiens; & non imputetur habituale, sive corruptio Adae, quae fuit vitium permanens? Resp. 1. Hoc ab Apostolo petendum, qui in hoc negotio lapsum & inobedientiam actualem proponit, non autem proponit habitum corruptionis ex illa inobedientia consequentem. PLAC. Cur ab Apostolo id peterem, qui illam imputationem quam impugno non docuit? Deinde si nullum Apostolus proponit habitum corruptionis ex illa inobedientia consequentem, non potest ex Apostolo Pighius refelli, nec probari habitualis corruptio.
