Wherefore we do so say, that this hereditary fault and contagion of nature is sin in all men, and so we use to call it original sin: that we do not separate it from the guiltiness and imputation of the first disobedience. Even as likewise on the other side, we doubt not but the righteousness of christians, doth consist, not so much in the regeneration of nature, which is made by the spirit of Christ, & which is usually called by the name of inherent righteousness; as in the imputation of the perfect obedience, and righteousness of Christ, whose members we are.
