II. From verse 15, "But not as the fall, so also the gift," and so on (Romans 5:15), he gathers thus: Those who have been made liable to death by Adam's actual sin bear the penalty of that sin, and therefore that sin is imputed to them. But all men have been made liable to death by Adam's actual sin. Therefore all men bear the penalty of that sin, and therefore that sin is imputed to them. The reply is easy. Those who have been made liable to death by Adam's actual sin proximately or immediately bear the penalty of that sin proximately or immediately. Those who by that sin have been made liable to death only remotely or mediately — that is, by intervening corruption — bear the penalties of that sin only remotely or mediately, that is, by intervening corruption. But that all men have been made liable to death by Adam's actual sin proximately or immediately — I deny; by intervening corruption — I grant. Therefore that all men bear the penalty of that sin, and therefore that sin is imputed to them, immediately — I deny; by the corruption inhering in us — I grant. Cannot all the arguments of D. Garissoles be whitewashed with this one brush?

Latin

II. Ex Vs. 15. At non ut lapsus, ita etiam donum &c. sic colligit; Qui Adami actuali peccato morti facti sunt obnoxii, illi poenam ferunt illius peccati, adeoque peccatum illud ipsis imputatur. Atqui omnes homines actuali Adami peccato facti sunt morti obnoxii. Ergo omnes homines ferunt poenam illius peccati, adeoque peccatum illud ipsis imputatur. Facilis est responsio. Qui Adami actuali peccato morti facti sunt obnoxii proxime seu immediate, illi poenam ferunt illius peccati proxime seu immediate. Qui eo peccato facti sunt morti obnoxii tantum remote seu mediate, hoc est, mediante corruptione, illi ferunt poenas illius peccati tantum remote seu mediate, hoc est, mediante corruptione. Atqui omnes homines actuali Adami peccato facti sunt morti obnoxii proxime seu immediate, Nego: mediante corruptione, Concedo. Ergo omnes homines ferunt poenam illius peccati, adeoque peccatum illud ipsis imputatur, immediate, nego: mediante corruptione nobis inhaerente, Concedo. Nonne omnia D. Gar. argumenta hac una fidelia dealbari possunt?
