On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §581

Man. Post. Cap. IX: GAR — Pelagian telum: sin-in-Adam = hereditary corruption?

3. But the Pelagian also will seize a dart, and will twist it against us. For where the Apostle says that we have sinned in Adam, what does the learned man understand by the word sin? Hereditary corruption, that original vice of ours, and inborn in us. And so to have sinned in Adam will be to have been corrupt and vitiated in Adam.

Latin

GAR. 3. Sed & Pelagianus telum arripiet, & in nos contorquebit. Nam ubi dicit Apostolus nos in Adamo peccasse, quid intelligit Vir doctus peccati voce? Corruptionem haereditariam, vitium illud originale nostrum, & nobis ingenitum. Itaque in Adamo peccasse, erit in Adamo corruptos & vitiatos esse.
