On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §631

Man. Post. Cap. IX: PLAC — Sohnius vs Anabaptists: Hebrew peccare actual and habitual (inherent defect)

And so to certain Anabaptists objecting—as you do—that "to sin" is an active verb and signifies an action, Georgius Sohnius answered nothing except that among the Hebrews words signify not only actually but also habitually. That is, not only an action, but also an inherent defect and wickedness.

Latin

Itaque Anabaptistis quibusdam idem quod tu obiicientibus, peccare esse verbum activum & actionem significare, Georgius Sohnius nihil respondit, nisi verba apud Hebraeos non tantum significare actualiter, sed etiam habitualiter; hoc est, non tantum actionem, sed etiam defectum & pravitatem inhaerentem.
