But conjunction with another, insofar as he is the man from whom we draw origin, alone does not suffice for a sin committed by another to be imputed: otherwise all Adam's sins, and all our parents' sins, could rightly be imputed to us, which, I think, no one would say: yet no other conjunction between us and Adam could have existed before the hereditary corruption communicated by him. Nor does the example of Saul help the learned man: For his sons, when they were sinners in themselves and worthy on account of their own sins of those penalties which they suffered, were then also partakers of that paternal sin, as is clear from the words of God himself, 2 Samuel 21. 1. For Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. Therefore not Saul alone was bloody, but his house or family.

Latin

At coniunctio cum alio, quatenus homo est a quo ducimus originem, sola non sufficit, ut peccatum ab alio commissum imputetur: alioqui omnia Adami, omniaque parentum nostrorum peccata, nobis possent iure imputari, quod, opinor, nemo dixerit: nulla tamen alia coniunctio nos inter & Adamum, ante communicatam ab eo corruptionem haereditariam, esse potuit. Nec iuvat Virum doctum exemplum Saulis: Nam eius filii, cum in se peccatores erant ac digni ob propria peccata illis poenis quas perpessi sunt, tum peccati illius paterni participes, ut patet ex verbis ipsius Dei 2. Sam. 21. 1. Propter Saulem, & domum eius sanguinariam, eo quod interfecit Gibeonitas. Non igitur solus Saul erat sanguinarius, sed eius domus seu familia.
