On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §487

Man. Post. Cap. IX: even if actual — entered by venom, not imputation

Grant nevertheless that it is so understood; I will deny that that sin entered into the world by imputation. Rather it is said to have entered into the world, because he left his venom in Adam, which without that kind of imputation crept from Adam into Seth, from Seth into Enosh, from him into Kenan, and so little by little flowed from father into sons, until it reached us by natural propagation and multiplication.

Latin

Fac tamen intelligi; negabo peccatum illud introiisse in mundum per imputationem: sed dici introiisse in mundum, quia suum venenum reliquit in Adamo, quod sine eiusmodi imputatione serpsit ab Adamo in Sethum, à Setho in Enosch, ab hoc in Kenanem, & ita paulatim à patre in filios manavit, donec ad nos perveniret propagatione & multiplicatione naturali.
