What, then, will you try to persuade us of by rereading Scripture or naming people who agree with you, when you still cannot define your own view? What good does it do you to prove that Adam sinned, something I do not deny at all? Adam died so many centuries ago. Our question is through what sin is found in an infant—the sin by which God’s image is transferred to the devil’s ownership.

Latin

Ad quid ergo persuadendum aut Scripturas releges, aut conscios nominabis, qui adhuc quod sentis non potes definire? Quid te iuvat, ut Adam doceas deliquisse, quod ego penitus non refello? Quaerimus, Adam ante tot saecula mortuo, peccatum, quo in diaboli ius Dei imago transcribitur, per quid inveniatur in parvulo.
