Finally God, he says, by imputing sin to someone does not make him to have sinned. Therefore God by imputing does not make Adam's posterity to be sinners. For he is not a sinner who has not sinned. How then does the learned man say that by Adam's actual sin, because of imputation, we are constituted sinners by Adam's disobedience by imputation? In one word, if we are sinners before God imputes Adam's sin to us, Adam's sin did not enter into the world by imputation, but imputation follows that entry: which was what I had to prove.

Latin

Denique Deus, inquit, imputando peccatum alicui non facit ut peccaverit. Non facit igitur Deus imputando posteros Adami esse peccatores. Nam peccator non est qui non peccavit. Quomodo ergo dicit Vir doctus peccatum actuale Adami propter imputationem, nos inobedientia Adami constitui peccatores imputatione? Uno verbo, si peccatores sumus antequam Deus nobis imputet peccatum Adami, peccatum Adami non introiit in mundum imputatione, sed imputatio introitum illum sequitur: id quod mihi erat probandum.
