Augustine's words do not hurt my case: for I grant that no one is immune from Adam's vice. As for the example of Saul's sons, we have already answered that they were partakers of the father's sin. The fathers' sins are visited on the sons, as I said, when they are found in the sons. They are called the fathers' because the fathers first committed them, and were authors to the sons that they should commit them—by example and authority, or by education and training, or even by law.

Latin

Verba Augustini causae meae non obsunt: fateor enim ab Adami vitio neminem esse immunem. Ad exemplum filiorum Saulis iam respondimus, eos paterni peccati fuisse participes. Peccata patrum visitantur in filiis, ut dixi, cum reperiuntur in filiis. Dicuntur patrum quia patres priores illa commiserunt, filiis ut committerent autores fuerunt, vel exemplo & autoritate, vel educatione & institutione, vel etiam lege.
