The Pelagian will now rise, and relying on this argumentation will ask, When were we corrupted in Adam by his sin? When he himself sinned, and by sinning corrupted himself, or at another time? Surely when he himself sinned, and by sinning corrupted himself. Many, nay all, have been warned by the sin for us, but also by the vice of that fall. Hear now. Those who were so corrupted that they were made guilty of eternal death, those were truly and properly corrupted. Those who were truly and properly corrupted, those then when they were corrupted truly and properly were. Therefore has the infant who is now born truly been, when Adam was sinning, and by sinning corrupting himself? So those who had made snares for others put themselves into them, and into the pit which they had prepared for others they themselves fall.

Latin

Insurget iam Pelagianus, & hac argumentatione fretus quaeret, Quando corrupti sumus in Adamo peccato eius? An cum ipse peccavit, & peccando se corrupit, an alio tempore? Certe cum ipse peccavit, & peccando se corrupit. Multi, imo omnes peccato pro nobis, sed & vitio illius lapsi moniti sunt. Audi iam. Qui ita corrupti fuerunt, ut mortis aeternae rei facti sint, illi vere & proprie corrupti fuerunt. Qui vere & proprie corrupti fuerunt, illi tunc cum corrupti sunt, vere & proprie fuerunt. Ergone infans qui nunc nascitur, vere fuit, cum Adamus peccaret, & peccando seipsum corrumperet? Ita qui laqueos aliis confecerant, in eos se induunt, & quam foveam aliis paraverant in eam ipsimet incidunt.
