On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §388

Man. Post. Cap. VII: PLAC Amaziah / Ezek — each dies for own sin tip

And lest you except the crime of unfaithfulness or of lese-majesty, Scripture stands in the way, 2 Chr. 25:3. Amaziah killed his servants who had struck the King his father: but their sons he did not put to death: but he did as it is written in the law that Jehovah commanded, saying, fathers shall not die for sons and sons shall not die for fathers, but each shall die for his own sin. What of this—that God himself, vindicating his justice from the Jews' calumnies, prescribed what we ought to think of it? The soul, he says, that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the father's iniquity, the father shall not bear the son's iniquity, &c.

Latin

Ac ne crimen infidelitatis, vel laesae majestatis excipias, obstat Scriptura, 2. Chr. 25. 3. Amazia interfecit servos suos qui percusserant Regem patrem suum: filios vero eorum non affecit morte: sed fecit sicut scriptum est in lege praecepisse Jehovam dicendo, ne moriuntor patres pro filiis & filii ne moriuntor pro patribus, sed quisque propter peccatum suum moriuntor. Quid quod ipse Deus vindicans suam justitiam a Judaeorum calumniis quid sit nobis de ea sentiendum praescripsit? Anima, inquit, quae peccat ipsa morietur. Filius non feret iniquitatem patris, pater non feret iniquitatem filii &c.
