Chapter 9: Sinning by an imputed act is not original sin
Next it does not escape you that all theologians distinguish actual sin from original. If they sinned in the sense of actual sin, then it does not refer to original sin, which you yourself distinguish from actual in this place. Therefore the Apostle does not speak of original sin in this place. Thus you wrest from us, as far as in you lies, the weapons with which from this place we overthrow Pelagius, Pighius, and Socinus. But it pleases you to attack by another way: for although now indeed my part is to answer, yours to argue, yet I cannot restrain myself from scattering everywhere the arguments with which my cause abounds. Tell me therefore, I pray, how you understand all men to have sinned by Adam's actual sin? You inculcate everywhere that that actual sin cannot be ours except by imputation. If it is not ours except by imputation, then surely we have not sinned by it except by imputation. What then will that be, all have sinned? Actual sin has been imputed to all? And yet it is one thing for someone to sin, another for sin to be imputed to someone.
Latin
Deinde te non fugit peccatum actuale ab originali omnes Theologos distinguere. Si ergo hoc verbum peccaverunt actuale peccatum significat, igitur non significat originale, quod tu ipse ab actuali hoc loco discernis. Non ergo loquitur Apostolus de peccato originali hoc loco. Sic nobis, quantum in te est, extorques arma quibus ex hoc loco Pelagium, Pighium & Socinum conficiamus. Sed iuvat te alia via aggredi, quamvis enim nunc quidem meae sint partes respondere, tuae argumentari, tamen mihi temperare non possum quin argumenta, quibus mea causa abundat, ubique disseminem. Dic mihi igitur, quaeso, quomodo omnes homines intelligas peccasse peccato actuali Adami? Inculcas passim peccatum illud actuale nostrum esse non posse, nisi per imputationem. Si nostrum non est nisi imputatione, utique eo non peccavimus nisi imputatione. Quid erit igitur illud omnes peccaverunt? omnibus peccatum actuale imputatum est? Atqui aliud est aliquem peccare, aliud alicui peccatum imputari.
