Against this Doctrine of the Souls Original,¹ The principal argument is drawn from the consideration of Original sin, and the propagation thereof, which alone was that which troubled ⟨p. 396⟩and staggered S. Augustine in this point. For if the² Soul be not naturally traduced, how should Original sin be derived from Adam unto it? And if it were not in the loins of Adam, then neither did it sin in his loins; whereas the Apostle expressly telleth us, that by one Man sin came into the world, and that in one all have sinned; and that not only by imputative participation, but by natural Propagation, deriving an inherent habitual pollution, which cleaveth inseparably to the soul of every man that entereth into the world, and is the fruit of Adams loins.
