On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §710

Man. Post. Cap. X: GAR — no cavilling at inherent vice; infants are sinners only by Adam’s act imputed

And so you meet it: It must not be cavilled, you say, that the guiltn them is from inherent vice, and from a depraved disposition and corruption.

For whence comes it that they are born guilty and corrupt, unless that, enclosed in Adam, they sinned in him, as the Apostle said, and his sin was imputed to them, so that they are guilty and corrupt?

For they have not yet sinned by their own will, nor by thought, nor by words, nor by deed.

From this I conclude thus: Whoever die are sinners.

Children in their mothers’ wombs, or newly born, die, as experience shows.

Therefore children in the womb and the newly born are sinners.

If they are sinners, they are so either because they have sinned in act, or because the first sin of the first parent is imputed to them.

For a third cannot be given that would constitute them sinners.

For one is called a sinner because of sin; and no other sin can be imputed except that first one.

Latin

Itaque obviam is, Nec cavillandum est, inquis, reatum in illis esse a vitio inhaerente, & a prava dispositione & corruptione. Nam unde fit, ut rei & corrupti nascantur, nisi quod in Adamo inclusi in illo peccarunt, ut dixit Apostolus, & peccatum illius ipsis imputatum fuit, ut sint rei corrupti? Nondum enim voluntate propria peccarunt, nec cogitatione, nec verbis, nec actione. Inde sic concludo, Quicunque moriuntur sunt peccatores. Pueri in utero matrum, aut recens nati moriuntur, ut constat experientia. Ergo pueri in utero matrum & recens nati sunt peccatores. Si sunt peccatores, ideo sunt, vel quod actu peccaverint, vel quod primum peccatum primi parentis ipsis imputetur. Tertium siquidem dari non potest, quod illos constituat peccatores. Nam peccator quis dicitur ob peccatum; nec ullum aliud peccatum potest imputari, nisi illud primum.
