On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §445

Man. Post. Cap. VIII: first sin by communication not external imputation; common penalties

For this sin common to all, common penalties are inflicted on all: not indeed satisfactory punishments in this life, at least for the faithfullties nonetheless: There is inflicted also, unless the grace of Christ intervene, a satisfactory penalty, but one which never finishes satisfaction—eternal death. I therefore between the act of the first sin and imputation interpose in all Adam's posterity hereditary corruption which is imputed to us unto those penalties.

Latin

Ob hoc peccatum commune omnium communes irrogantur omnibus poenae: non satisfactoriae quidem illae in hac vita, saltem respectu fidelium, sed tamen poenae: Irrogatur etiam, nisi gratia Christi intercedat, poena satisfactoria, sed quae nunquam satisfactionem absolvit, mors aeterna. Ego igitur inter actum primi peccati & imputationem interpono in omnibus Adami posteris corruptionem haereditariam quae imputetur nobis ad illas poenas.
