On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §456

Man. Post. Cap. VIII: else Devil one, God the rest; remedy needs faith-consent

Otherwise the Devil by his temptation would have made a single human a sinner, God (thinking it I wholly shudder) by that imputation of his all the rest; of which imputation show if you can either the necessity or the justice. For the rest, however common the remedy may be, yet it is not applied, not imputed to any adult, except to one consenting and apprehending it by faith, nor is it ours except by the gift of Christ and of God. But that Adam's actual sin should be given to us by God—far be it that I believe.

Latin

Alioqui Diabolus sua tentatione unicum hominem peccatorem effecisset, Deus (cogitans totus cohorresco) sua illa imputatione reliquos omnes; cujus imputationis demonstra si potes vel necessitatem, vel justitiam. Caeterum quantumvis commune sit remedium, tamen non applicatur, non imputatur ulli adulto, nisi consentienti ac per fidem illud apprehendenti, nec nostrum est nisi Christi & Dei dono. Donari autem a Deo nobis peccatum actuale Adami absit ut credam.
