On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §361

Man. Post. Cap. VI: GAR — personal non-Adamic corruption not descending

when God does not permit the personal corruption of all men to descend into posterity—corruption, I say, not native and naturally implanted in all from Adam, but adventitious and sprouting from actual sins—is he to be thought to act against the order of nature, or to overturn the laws of natural propagation, or to hinder the natural sequel of actual sin? I can scarcely think this has hitherto been said by anyone, or even thought.

Latin

GAR. An vero, cum Deus corruptionem personalem omnium hominum non permittat in posteros descendere, corruptionem, inquam, non nativam ex Adamo naturaliter omnibus insitam, sed ascititiam, & ex actualibus peccatis progerminantem, putandus est contra naturae ordinem agere, aut leges naturalis propagationis evertere, aut peccati actualis naturalem sequelam impedire? Vix dictum putem hactenus a quoquam, aut cogitatum.
