GAR. Resp. 1. By the same subtlety it can be shown that by that sin is not to be understood (which yet those who use these reasons want) the hereditary corruption inhering in each of us from origin. For that corruption cannot be said to enter into us: since it is innate and inborn, and most deeply fixed from the beginning in our nature: but that is said to enter somewhere, which has been brought there from outside, or comes from elsewhere, and before was not there. Certainly none of us was earlier than he was corrupt.

Latin

GAR. Resp. 1. Eadem subtilitate ostendi posse, per illud peccatum, non esse intelligendum (quod tamen volunt qui his rationibus utuntur) corruptionem haereditariam, unicuique nostrum ab origine inhaerentem. Nam ea corruptio non potest dici intrare in nos: cum sit innata & ingenita, & penetissime infita a principio in natura nostra: illud autem intrare aliquo dicitur, quod foris eo delatum est, aut venit aliunde, & antea ibi non erat. Certe nemo nostrum prius fuit, quam fuit corruptus.
