On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §479

Man. Post. Cap. IX: opponent obscures — original mixed with Adam's actual

You prove the prior, namely that by the sin which entered into the world Adam's first actual sin must be understood, but you add (which obscures your mind) that that sin transfused into us is called original: And soon, that original sin in us is from it: Likewise, that Adam by begetting transfused into us a corruption which we call original sin. And a little later, that this sin was indeed committed by Adam himself, but that by guilt and reatus it passed into us by imputation, And so in him was actual and personal, but in us is called original. Thus you sometimes confuse original sin with Adam's actual sin, sometimes distinguish, and sometimes mix Adam's actual sin with origin's corruption; sometimes you separate it from it.

Latin

Tu prius probas, nimirum, per peccatum quod in mundum introiit intelligendum esse primum peccatum actuale Adami, sed addis (quod tuam mentem obscurat) id peccatum in nos transfusum originale dici: Et mox, peccatum originale in nobis ex illo esse: Item, Adamum in nos corruptionem genitura transfudisse, quam peccatum originale dicimus. Et paulo post, hoc peccatum ab ipso quidem Adamo commissum esse, sed culpa atque reatu per imputationem in nos transiisse, Ideoque in ipso actuale & personale fuisse, sed in nobis originale dici. Sic modo peccatum originale cum peccato actuali Adami confundis modo distinguis, & modo peccatum actuale Adami cum corruptione originaria commisces; modo ab ea separas.
