Where death reigns, and there is no reatus from one’s own actual sin, there the imputation of the reatus of the first sin is necessary.

But before the law death reigned, even over those in whom there was no reatus from their own sin—namely, over little ones.

Therefore the reatus of the first sin was necessarily imputed to infants.

Latin

Ubi mors regnat, nec est reatus ex peccato proprio actuali, ibi necessario est imputatio reatus primi peccati. At ante legem mors regnavit, etiam in eos in quibus non fuit reatus ex peccato proprio, nempe in parvulos. Ergo infantibus reatus primi peccati necessario fuit imputatus.
