On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §469

Man. Post. Cap. VIII: Chamier — Adam constitutes sinners causally, not formally

For that (as most learned Chamier has it) constitutes us sinners not formally, but causally; of which matter in its place. These alone you found in the Old Testament by which you thought that imputation could be concluded. I could also have propped my replies with the authority of great Theologians, and from the same places drawn forth other arguments hostile to yours: but I consult brevity, and I do not wish to weary you as reader with too great a flood of arguments.

Latin

Id enim (ut habet eruditissimus Chamierus) nos peccatores constituit non formaliter, sed causaliter; qua de re suo loco. Haec sola invenisti in vetere Testamento, quibus illam imputationem concludi posse putares. Potuissem & responsiones meas magnorum Theologorum authoritate fulcire, & iisdem ex locis alia argumenta promere tuis infesta: sed consulo brevitatem, & nolo te nimia argumentorum profusione legentem fatigare.
