On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §692

Man. Post. Cap. X: PLAC — I grant posterity shares Adam’s sin and penalties via generation

Finally, to pass over other faults that can be caught in this argument of the learned man, it is a wandering from the state of the question.

For I do not deny that the penalties of Adam’s sin reach his posterity, because of course Adam’s sin reaches them.

For Adam communicated his sin to us through carnal generation, and through sin, the penalties.

Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death.

I also confess that original sin propagated into us is worthy of the punishment of death, since it is truly sin opposing the law of nature—nay, every divine law.

These things ought not to be disputed between us.

Latin

Denique ut taceam alia vitia, quae in hoc Viri docti argumento deprehendi possunt, aberratio est a statu quaestionis. Non enim nego poenas peccati Adami pertinere ad eius posteros, quia nempe ad eos peccatum Adami pertinet. Communicavit enim nobiscum Adamus per generationem carnalem peccatum suum, & per peccatum, poenas. Per unum hominem peccatum ingressum est in mundum, & per peccatum mors. Fateor etiam propagatum in nos peccatum originale dignum esse mortis supplicio, cum sit vere peccatum repugnans legi naturae, immo omni legi divinae. Haec inter nos controversa esse non debent.
