It troubleth me to trouble thee with Repetitions. I hold, 1. That Adams Sin is imputed (as I opened) to his Posterity. 2. That the degree of Pravity which Cains nature received from Adam, was the dispositive inclining Cause of all his Actual Sin: 3. But not a necessitating Cause of all those Acts; for he might possibly have done less evil and more good than he did. 4. Therefore not the Total principal Cause; for Cains free-will was part of that. 5 Cains actual sin increased the pravity of his nature. 6. And Cains Posterity were (as I opened it) guilty of Cains actual sin; and their Natures were the more depraved by his additional pravity, than they would have been by Adams sin alone (unless Grace preserved or healed any of them).

The Doctor in this Paper, would make his Reader believe that he is [for no mere Logomachies] and that the difference is not in words only, but the thing. And do you think that he differeth from me in any of these Propositions, or how this sin is derived from Adam? Yet this now must be the Controversie de re.
