On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §592

Man. Post. Cap. IX: GAR tip — alienum peccatum can merit; Saul's sons; tip before PLAC on vere/proprie

And yet even those who sin by another's sin, that is, to whom another's sin is imputed, also merit just condemnation. For Saul's sons sinned by another's, namely the father's, sin, and yet they suffered the just condemnation of death by God's command, and so merited it, because God's judgments are just. And the sins by which the fathers actually sinned are not properly the sons' sins, because they were not personally committed by them; and yet according to the Decalogue's threat, because of them the sons incur various penalties and just condemnation. So therefore we can have sinned in Adam so as to have merited the just sentence of death, and yet we need not for that reason come to this, that we say we properly or personally sinned when Adam sinned; but only that we are so reckoned before God, as if when he himself sinned all of us had sinned.

Latin

At etiam qui alieno peccato peccant, id est, quibus alienum peccatum imputatur, & iustam condemnationem merentur. Nam filii Saulis peccaverunt alieno, nempe patris, peccato, & tamen iustam mortis condemnationem ex Dei mandato perpessi sunt, adeoque meruerunt, quia iusta sunt Dei iudicia. Et peccata, quibus patres actu peccarunt, non sunt proprie peccata filiorum, quia non sunt ab iis personaliter patrata; & tamen iuxta Decalogi comminationem, propter ea filii in varias poenas & iustam condemnationem incurrunt. Ita ergo possumus in Adamo peccasse, ut iustam mortis sententiam meriti simus, & tamen non ideo huc deveniendum est ut dicamus nos proprie sive personaliter peccasse, cum Adamus peccavit; sed tantum ita censeri apud Deum, ac si cum ipse peccavit omnes peccassemus.
