The places in which God is said to visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons are not even commemorated here: for you saw that they are more fitted for defending against my arguments than for proving the imputation of Adam's actual sin. For in truth no argument can be made from them which does not proceed equally of Adam's other sins as of the first, and of our other parents' sins as of Adam's: and that limitation to the fourth generation openly resists an unlimited imputation to all generations: and that other limitation in those who hate me presupposes hatred of God in those who are visited: whereas the imputation of the first actual sin presupposes no vice in infants, but, if you are believed, makes it. But of these places elsewhere.

Latin

Loca in quibus Deus visitare dicitur iniquitatem patrum in filios hic ne commemorata quidem: vidisti enim ea esse ad tuendam adversus mea argumenta, quam ad probandam imputationem peccati actualis Adami, magis accommodata. Revera enim inde nullum argumentum confici potest, quod non aeque de aliis Adami peccatis ac de primo, deque aliorum parentum nostrorum peccatis, ac de Adami procedat: & limitatio illa in quartam generationem repugnat aperte imputationi illimitatae in omnes generationes: & altera illa limitatio in iis qui me oderunt praesupponit odium Dei in iis qui visitantur: cum imputatio primi peccati actualis nullum in infantibus vitium praesupponat, sed, si tibi creditur, faciat. Verum de his locis alibi.
