On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §249

Man. Post. Cap. IV: PLAC — habitus not sensible; spiritual death effects

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Habits are not sensible qualities. We neither feel nor understand them except as we infer them from acts that go before or follow. Add this: spiritual death, for true piety, strips a man of sense and of the power to do well. It makes him unfit for every good work, ready for every evil, turned from God, and turned to the flesh and to what God hates.

Latin

Habitus enim non sunt qualitates sensibiles, neque sentiuntur, aut intelliguntur a nobis, nisi quatenus ex antecedentibus aut consequentibus actibus inesse deprehenduntur. Adde quod mors spiritualis, quantum ad veram pietatem attinet, hominem sensu privat, & facultate bene agendi, eumque ad omne bonum opus ineptum, ad omne malum pronum, aversum a Deo, conversum autem ad carnem & ea quae Deus odit, efficit.
