that our ruin is ascribed to Adam's sin because it is the cause of our sin. He does not say, because it is imputed to us, or because it is ours by imputation; but he distinguishes that from our sin as cause from effect. Therefore our sin is from Adam's sin, and from this our ruin. So from both the same guilt rises — from our sin proximately, from Adam's sin remotely.

Latin

ideo exitium nostrum Adami peccato adscribi, quia est causa peccati nostri, non dicit, quia nobis imputatur, aut quia imputatione nostrum est: sed illud distinguit a peccato nostro tanquam causam ab effectu. Est igitur a peccato Adami peccatum nostrum, & ab hoc exitium nostrum. Ita ex utroque confurgit idem reatus, ex peccato nostro proxime, ex peccato Adami remote.
