But do not think that was done by him rashly. If God had imputed that actual sin of Adam to humans not yet existing, and by his sentence had immediately adjudged them all to those penalties for that sin, with what wisdom would he have conceived a common sentence in common words, and such as could be applied to all and each human, or would he have injected some mention of Adam's posterity.

Latin

Id autem noli putare factum esse ab eo temere. Si Deus actuale illud peccatum Adami imputavisset hominibus nondum existentibus, eosque omnes immediate ob illud peccatum sua sententia poenis illis adjudicasset, qua est sapientia communem sententiam verbis communibus, & quae omnibus & singulis hominibus applicari possent, concepisset, aut posterorum Adami aliquam mentionem injecisset.
