You will perhaps think you can turn aside the edge of these arguments by saying that by sin, ten hamartian, both are understood, both Adam's actual sin, and the original vice born from it; but that is not allowed you by the status of the question which is treated between us. For it is instituted concerning Adam's actual sin cut off from hereditary vice. For you will have the first actual sin to have been imputed to Adam and to us, and because imputed, this penalty to have been inflicted on Adam and on us, namely original vice or corruption. And so according to your opinion that corruption does not cohere with Adam's actual sin except by the intervention of divine imputation. Wherefore imputation in the order of nature precedes corruption. Therefore the imputation of Adam's actual sin cut off from hereditary corruption must be proved by you, not however of it joined and confused with that.

Latin

Putabis fortasse te horum argumentorum aciem declinare posse, dicendo, per peccatum τὴν ἁμαρτίαν intelligi utrumque & peccatum actuale Adami, & natum ex eo vitium originale; sed id tibi non licet per statum quaestionis, quae inter nos versatur. Est enim instituta de peccato actuali Adami praeciso a vitio haereditario. Vis enim primum peccatum actuale Adamo & nobis fuisse imputatum, & quia imputatum, inflictam Adamo & nobis hanc poenam, nimirum vitium seu corruptionem originalem. Itaque secundum tuam sententiam corruptio ista cum peccato actuali Adami non cohaeret, nisi divinae imputationis interventu. Quare imputatio naturae ordine corruptionem antecedit. Est igitur peccati actualis Adami praecisi a corruptione haereditaria imputatio tibi probanda, non autem cum ea coniuncti ac confusi.
