On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §485

Man. Post. Cap. IX: Respondeo — παράπτωμα vs other names; deny major/minor

I answer that the name paraptoma must be distinguished from the other two: For by that one the Apostle sometimes designates Adam's sin, sometimes the vice arisen from Adam's sin in all humans: By these he signifies only Adam's sin, not indeed the actual cut off from the habitual, but together with the habitual. And so as far as this name paraptoma is concerned, I deny the Major: but as far as the other two, I deny the minor.

Latin

Respondeo distinguendum esse nomen παράπτωμα à duobus aliis: Illo enim Apostolus modo peccatum Adami, modo vitium ex peccato Adami in omnibus hominibus ortum designat: His solum peccatum Adami significat, non quidem actuale praecisum ab habituali, sed simul cum habituali. Itaque quantum ad hoc nomen παράπτωμα attinet, nego Maiorem: quantum vero ad alia duo, nego minorem.
