GAR. 2. Since the imputation of the first sin, and hereditary corruption, are inseparable, even here we do not deny that by the name of sin, by force of consequence, that corruption can be understood. PLAC. If they were inseparable, as long as corruption remains, so long would imputation remain: which fights with the opinion of all theologians, as many as are not Pelagians. For imputation is taken away by the remission of original sin, which is done, not so that it may not be, but so that it may no longer be imputed. But if by the name of the sin which entered into the world through one man hereditary corruption is understood, by what argument will those who oppose us in this cause prove that actual sin is understood which was not made ours except by imputation? For that inhering sin must be understood, and the name hamartia with the article, both the authority of the greatest theologians, and the adversaries' confession, sufficiently confirm.

Latin

GAR. 2. Cum imputatio primi peccati, & corruptio haereditaria, sint ἀχώριστα, etiam hic peccati nomine, ex vi consequentiae, intelligi posse corruptionem illam, non inficiamur. PLAC. Si essent ἀχώριστα, quandiu manet corruptio, tandiu maneret imputatio: id quod cum omnium Theologorum sententia, quotquot non sunt Pelagiani, pugnat. Tollitur enim imputatio remissione peccati originalis, quae fit, non ut ne sit, sed ut ne imputetur amplius. Quod si peccati quod per unum hominem introiit in mundum nomine corruptio haereditaria intelligitur, quo argumento probabunt illi, qui nobis in hac causa adversantur, peccatum actuale intelligi quod nostrum non sit factum nisi per imputationem? Nam intelligendum esse peccatum inhaerens & nomen ἁμαρτία cum articulo, & maximorum theologorum autoritas, & confessio Adversariorum satis confirmant.
