On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §614

Man. Post. Cap. IX: GAR — discrimination not mere natural propagation, nor Adam-as-origin alone

There must be some cause at all of this discrimination. But it is not to be sought simply in the natural conjunction or propagation by which we descend from Adam. For we are no less propagated from our other ancestors, nor less joined to them than to Adam; indeed our communion with them is nearer in time than with Adam. Nor again simply in this, that Adam is the principle of our origin, or the one from whom the human race began. For that can indeed be a legitimate cause why we are said to die in Adam; but it is not a legitimate cause why the same cannot be said of other ancestors. Etc.

Latin

Cuius discriminis aliquam prorsus causam esse oportet. Non est autem illa simpliciter quaerenda in conjunctione naturali, aut propagatione qua descendimus ab Adamo. Nam non minus a maioribus alijs nostris propagati sumus, neque minus sumus cum iis coniuncti, quam cum Adamo; imo propinquior est cum iis, quam cum Adamo, communio ratione temporis. Neque etiam in eo, quod Adam principium est nostrae originis, sive ille a quo genus humanum incepit. Nam ea quidem legitima causa esse potest, quare in Adamo mori dicamur: sed non est legitima causa quare idem de alijs maioribus dici non possit. &c.
