GAR. It is not true that the imputation of that actual sin of Adam was obscure both before and after the law was given, and that innate corruption propagated from Adam was known.

For if you speak of the Gentiles outside the Church and living without God’s covenant, both were equally unknown; if of the faithful and long partners of the covenant of grace, both were equally known.

Nor is Paul to be thought, when he taught that all sinned in Adam, to have forged some new dogma that under the Old Testament was altogether unheard of and unknown, etc.

Latin

GAR. Non est verum peccati illius actualis Adae imputationem, & ante & post legem datam, obscuram; corruptionem autem innatam & ex Adamo propagatam, cognitam fuisse. Nam si de Gentibus loquaris extra Ecclesiam, & Dei foedere agentibus, aeque fuit ignotum utrumque: Si de fidelibus, & foederis gratiae diuturnis consortibus, aeque notum utrumque: Neque enim putandum est Paulum, cum omnes docuit in Adamo peccasse, novum aliquod dogma procudisse, quod sub veteri Testamento fuerit omnino inauditum & incognitum, &c.
