PLAC. Since this reply is Pighian, and was formerly objected to our men, let Martyr refute it while I am silent, Commentary on Romans 5. 9. and Common Places, Class 2. chapter 1. section 8. Finally, he says, we have from Paul, that by the disobedience of one man many were constituted sinners; which indicates that in those who are born of Adam there is a vice because of which they can be called sinners. But Pighius thinks he can elude this, because sinners are sometimes so called because of guilt although the act of sinning has passed and no longer exists.

Latin

PLAC. Cum haec responsio Pighiana sit, ac nostris olim obiecta, eam, me tacente, refellat Martyr, Comm. in Rom. 5. 9. & locor. Comm. Class. 2. cap. 1. §. 8. Postremo, inquit, habemus a Paulo, per inobedientiam unius hominis, multos constitutos esse peccatores; quod indicat, in illis qui nascuntur ex Adamo esse vitium, propter quod peccatores dici possint. Sed hoc Pighius putat se posse eludere, quod peccatores interdum dicantur propter reatum quamvis actio peccandi praeterierit, neque amplius extet.
