On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §649

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — if actual Adam-sin imputed, habitual corruption is too (and more strongly)

And if Adam's actual sin is imputed to us, then certainly his habitual sin—or inherent corruption—is imputed too. For what reason can be offered for imputing Adam's actual sin that does not equally—and more strongly—serve for imputing his habitual sin? That was a passing act; this is a permanent vice. That had already long passed when, at age 130, Adam begot Seth, from whom we take our origin; but this was then present and thoroughly inherent in Adam's powers when he gave himself to generation.

Latin

Atqui si peccatum actuale Adami nobis imputatur, profecto etiam imputatur eius peccatum habituale sive corruptio inhaerens. Nam quae ratio afferri potest pro imputatione peccati actualis Adami, quae eadem non militet pro imputatione peccati eiusdem habitualis, & quidem validius? Illud enim fuit actio praeteriens, hoc vitium permanens: illud iam pridem praeterierat cum anno aetatis 130. Adamus Sethum genuit, a quo nos ducimus originem; hoc vero tum aderat praesens & inhaerens penitus facultatibus Adami cum generationi operam daret.
