5 Another opinion was that, which the Master of the sentences citeth in the 2. book the 33. distinction of them which thought, that original sin is only a guilt, or trespass, or bond, whereunto we are tied by the sin of Adam. So they acknowledge not, that there is truly, & in very deed any fault or sin in those which are borne, but only a certain offence, and obligation; the which might cause them to die, & be condemned for the sin of Adam. This opinion Pighius seemeth in a manner to have revived; for he denieth, that original sin is sin indeed, because it is neither a transgressing of the law, nor yet voluntary; and therefore he affirmed the same to be nothing else, 1but the sin of Adam, for the which we that be his posterity are made subject unto damnation and death, & are become exiles from the kingdom of heaven.

Wherefore he affirmed original sin to be the only transgression of Adam, in the danger of which one transgression, he would have us all to be borne: not for any sin, or fault, or corruption that we have in our selves.

So they acknowledge not, that there is trulie, & in verie déed anie fault or sinne in those which are borne, but onelie a certeine offense, and obligation; the which might cause them to die, & be condemned for the sinne of Adam. This opinion Pighius séemeth in a maner to haue reuiued; for he denieth, that originall sinne is sinne indéed, bicause it is neither a transgressing of the lawe, nor yet voluntarie; and therefore he affirmed the same to be nothing else, 1
