But like as the corruption of our whole nature, ¹immediately by gods just judgement, took hold on the person of Adam for that actual disobedience, called of the Apostle, Concupiscence, which is both a punishment of the former sin, a sin, and a cause of other sins; even so being taught by the holy scriptures, we believe, and with the whole church confess, that all men, which by natural propagation are conceived of his seed, are borne infected with the contagion, of his corrupt nature. For all men sinned in Adam, and by the guiltiness of his disobedience we are all kept bound.
