CHAP. VIII.
That the inward Contagion which we have from Adam's Disobedience, is truly and properly a Sin.
That the inward Contagion which we have from Adam's Disobedience, is truly and properly a Sinne.
Therefore in the fifth place, This sin whereby we are infected from Adam's disobedience, is truly and properly a sin, we are truly and inherently made sinners by Adam. A man is not more properly and really made a sinner by any actual transgressions he doth commit, then he is by his original sin he is born in: Insomuch that though an Infant knoweth not what he doth, nor is capable of acts of reason, when he is born, yet he is properly and formally a sinner; and the discovery of this will make much for our humiliation, and Christs Exaltation.
