I have sustained your assault; see whether you can sustain mine. For from here rises for me an argument overturning your opinion. You will certainly grant me that dogma concerning the imputation of Adam's actual sin to the whole human race, if it is true, if it must be believed, is taught somewhere in Scripture, the most absolute norm of our faith. You will also grant that, if it is taught anywhere, it is taught in this place, where the Apostle accurately explains whatever evil flowed from Adam into the human race. You will grant at last that whatever evils Adam communicated with his posterity, those the Apostle reduces to these two, sin and death.

Latin

Sustinui impetum tuum, vide an possis meum. Hinc enim mihi surgit argumentum tuam evertens sententiam. Dabis mihi profecto dogma illud de imputatione peccati actualis Adami toti generi humano, si verum est, si credendum est, doceri alicubi in Scriptura absolutissima fidei nostrae norma. Dabis etiam, sicubi docetur, doceri in hoc loco, ubi Apostolus quicquid ab Adamo mali in humanum genus manavit explicat accurate. Dabis tandem quaecunque mala Adamus cum posteris suis communicavit, ea ab Apostolo revocari ad haec duo, peccatum & mortem.
