On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §348

Man. Post. Cap. VI: PLAC corruption as poena; natural propagation with permission

And it is called a punishment, because it did not befall Adam without divine permission and desertion, God not hindering the natural efficacy and sequel of the actual sin—both because it could not be hindered except against the order of nature, and because by that very actual sin of his Adam was becoming worthy that God should desert him. He therefore judged and most justly determined not to hinder the production of that corruption in Adam. But Adam's corruption being posited and the procreation of children, there followed the propagation of that corruption into posterity by the force and law of nature, yet not without God's permission.

Latin

& poena vocatur, quia non accidit Adamo sine divina permissione ac desertione, Deo non impediente peccati actualis naturalem efficaciam & sequelam, tum quia impediri non potuit nisi contra ordinem naturae, tum quia suo ipso peccato actuali dignus fiebat Adamus quem Deus desereret. Judicavit igitur & constituit justissime non impedire corruptionis illius productionem in Adamo. Posita autem corruptione Adami & procreatione liberorum secuta est propagatio illius corruptionis in posteros naturae vi & lege, non tamen sine Dei permissione.
