But if we consider it as a sin, we then say that the immediate and proper cause of it, is lapsed nature ⟨p. 398⟩whole and entire by Generation and Seminal Traduction derived upon us.

For it is improbable that any stain should be transfused from the Body to the Soul, as from the foul vessel to the clean water put into it.

Nothing is the seat of sin which cannot be the seat of Death the wages of sin.
