But besides I ask. When did we sin in Adam by his actual sin? when he sinned it, or at another time? without doubt when he committed it in paradise: you can assign no other time. Hear what follows from that. Those who have so sinned that they have merited for themselves the just condemnation of eternal death, those have truly and properly sinned. But those who have truly and properly sinned, those then when they sinned were truly and properly. Therefore he who today begins to be and is born an infant, he truly and properly speaking already then was, when Adam was in paradise, some thousands of years before: inasmuch as he then truly and properly sinned. And so what Christ said of himself, John 8. 58. Before Abraham was born I am, there will be none of us who cannot say the same of himself.

Latin

Sed praeterea quaero. Quando peccavimus in Adamo eius peccato actuali? an cum illud peccavit, an alio tempore? haud dubie cum illud commisit in paradiso: nullum aliud tempus assignare potes. Audi quid inde sequatur. Qui peccarunt ita ut iustam condemnationem mortis aeternae sibi commeriti sint, illi vere & proprie peccarunt. Qui autem vere & proprie peccarunt, illi tunc cum peccaverunt vere & proprie fuerunt. Qui ergo hodie incipit esse & nascitur infans, ille vere & proprie loquendo fuit iam tum, cum Adamus esset in paradiso, ante aliquot annorum millia: quippe qui tum vere & proprie peccavit. Itaque quod de se dixit Christus Ioh. 8. 58. Antequam Abraham nasceretur ego sum, nemo fuerit nostrum, qui idem dicere de semetipso non possit.
