On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §542

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — peccaverunt with Calvin = innate vice, not Adam's bare actual

And that sin you have not proved to be Adam's actual sin, but I have proved it to be an inhering vice: what remains, except that we interpret that they sinned with Calvin of the vice innate and implanted in each of us? So to sin, he says, is to be corrupt and vitiated. In French: Now this sin, of which he speaks here, signifies nothing else but that we are all corrupted: for that natural depravity which we bring from our mother's womb, although it does not so soon put forth its fruits, is yet sin before the Lord, and deserves his vengeance. And a little after, we have therefore all sinned, because we are all imbued with natural corruption: and therefore iniquitous and perverse.

Latin

Id autem peccatum non probasti esse peccatum actuale Adami, ego vero probavi esse vitium inhaerens, quid superest, nisi ut illud peccaverunt interpretemur cum Calvino de vitio nobis singulis innato & insito? Ita peccare, inquit, est corruptos esse & vitiatos. Gallice: Or ce peche, duquel il parle icy, ne signifie autre chose sinon que nous sommes tous corrompus: illa enim naturalis pravitas quam e matris utero afferimus, tametsi non ita cito fructus suos edit, peccatum tamen est coram Domino, & eius ultionem meretur. Et paulo post, peccavimus igitur omnes, quia naturali corruptione omnes imbuti sumus: ideoque iniqui ac perversi.
