Namely, Adam's actual rebellion itself by natural efficiency sowed its own seed and virus into all Adam's faculties and fixed it deep in the marrow, and that evil crept, and by natural generation spread and propagated itself, and by its contagion infected all posterity. Therefore, since it is in each human being, it is deservedly attributed and imputed to them.

Latin

Nempe, rebellio actualis Adami suum ipsa per se naturali efficientia semen, virus, in omnes Adami facultates insevit, atque medullitus infixit, idque malum serpsit, & per generationem naturalem se diffudit, & propagavit, & contagione sua posteros omnes infecit. Itaque, cum sit in singulis hominibus, merito iis tribuitur & imputatur.
