On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §455

Man. Post. Cap. VIII: Gospel promise — seed of woman; common remedy ≠ imputation

You add that the same is demonstrated from the promise of the Gospel inserted there in verse 15 concerning the seed of the woman, Christ namely the avenger of the human race, who will crush the serpent's head. Just as from a common penalty it is inferred that the sin was common, so from a common Remedy for blotting out that sin it follows that that sin was common to all. But I confess a first common sin, yet seated not in the imputation of Adam's actual sin, but in corruption implanted in all; and made common not by divine imputation, but by carnal generation.

Latin

Addis, idem demonstrari ex promissione Evangelii illic inserta vers. 15. de semine mulieris, Christo scilicet vindice generis humani, contrituro caput serpentis. Quemadmodum ex poena communi infertur peccatum fuisse commune, sic ex Remedio communi ad delendum illud peccatum, sequitur illud peccatum fuisse omnibus commune. At primum commune fateor peccatum, sed situm, non in imputatione peccati actualis Adami, sed in corruptione omnibus insita; & commune factum, non imputatione divina, sed generatione carnali.
