To this is added that the Apostle says that through this sin death entered into the world. Entry into the world is a common attribute of sin and of death. Both entered into the world, but sin of itself, death through sin. But death entered in very deed, not by imputation, and the death which entered into the world is not the death of one Adam, but as manyfold as there are humans. Since therefore it is agreed there is a sin, namely hereditary corruption, which entered into the world in exactly the same way, what is there why we should not understand that in this place rather than that which corresponds to death neither by entry into the world, nor by number?

Latin

Huc accedit quod Apostolus ait per hoc peccatum mortem introiisse in mundum. Introitus in mundum commune est peccati & mortis attributum. Utrumque in mundum introiit, sed peccatum per se, mors per peccatum. Mors autem introiit reapse, non imputatione, & mors quae introiit in mundum non est mors unius Adami, sed totuplex quot sunt homines. Cum ergo constet esse peccatum, nempe corruptionem haereditariam, quod eodem prorsus modo introierit in mundum, quid est, cur id hoc loco non intelligamus potius, quam id quod neque introitu in mundum, neque numero morti correspondeat?
