On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §566

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — being in Adam before peccare; not by imputation of his being

Next you will have all to have sinned in Adam. But you will grant that they were in Adam in the way they sinned in Adam: for it is prior to be than to act or to sin. Were we therefore in Adam by an imputation of his being? You will deny it far from doubt: why then will you have us to have sinned in him by an imputation of his sinning?

Latin

Deinde tu vis omnes peccasse in Adamo. Dabis autem fuisse in Adamo quomodo in Adamo peccaverunt: prius enim est esse quam agere vel peccare. Fuimusne ergo in Adamo imputatione qua esse eius? negabis procul dubio: cur ergo vis nos in eo peccasse imputatione qua peccare ipsius?
