On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §474

Man. Post. Cap. IX: keep hereditary-vice hypothesis or drop Rom 5 proofs

Yet I do not see by what pact it can be elicited, this hypothesis being set—that from Adam's first sin there passed into all humans by carnal generation a vice which is truly sin, sufficient for damning the human race. And so I hold that either the arguments drawn from that chapter, or this hypothesis, which all the churches of the Protestants have hitherto held most constantly, must be renounced.

Latin

Ea tamen non video quo pacto elici possit, posita hac hypothesi manasse a primo peccato Adami in omnes homines per generationem carnalem vitium, quod vere peccatum est, damnando generi humano sufficiens. Atque ita sentio, aut argumentis ex eo capite ductis, aut huic hypothesi, quam omnes protestantium Ecclesiae constantissime hactenus tenuerunt, renunciandum esse.
