We believe athat all the offspring of Adam, is infected with such contagion, which is the original sin, and natural vice, and not only an imitation, as the Pelagians go about to prove, whom we detest with their errors. And think it not needful to enquire, how sin cometh from one man to an other, seeing it sufficeth, that that which God gave him, was not to him alone, but to all his posterity: And so, that in the person of him, we are spoiled of all goodness, and overwhelmed in all poverty & malediction.
Wee beleue athat all the ofspryng of Adam, is infected with suche contagion, whiche is the originall synne, and naturall vice, and not onelie an imitaciō, as the Pelagians go about to proue, whom wee deteste with their errours. And thinke it not néedefull to enquire, how synne cometh from one man to an other, seyng it suffiseth, that that whiche God gaue hym, was not to hym alone, but to all his posteritie: And so, that in the persone of hym, wee are spoiled of all goodnesse, and ouerwhelmed in all pouertie & malediction.
