Next he inculcates everywhere that Adam's sin is not ours except by imputation: whence it follows that we did not sin in Adam except by imputation. And yet now he will have Adam's sin imputed to us, because we sinned in Adam. But how did we sin in Adam, if Adam's sin was not ours? Therefore as we first sinned in Adam before his sin was imputed to us, so Adam's sin was first ours before it was imputed to us. How then does he inculcate everywhere that it is not ours except by imputation?

Latin

Deinde passim inculcat peccatum Adami nostrum non esse nisi imputatione: unde sequitur, nos in Adamo non peccasse nisi imputatione. At tamen nunc vult peccatum Adami nobis imputari, quia nos in Adamo peccavimus. Quomodo autem in Adamo peccavimus, si peccatum Adami nostrum non fuit? Ut igitur prius in Adamo peccavimus, quam eius peccatum nobis fuit imputatum, sic prius nostrum fuit Adami peccatum, quam nobis imputaretur. Quomodo ergo passim inculcat nostrum non esse, nisi per imputationem?
