A treatise of original sin ... proving that it is

Argum. 2. It's truly and properly a sin, Because thereby a man is made obnoxious to death, and eternal condemnation; The wages of sin is death, and by nature we are children of wrath; If then for this inherent corruption, we die, we are subject to miseries, to Gods wrath, and the curse of the Law, then it must necessarily follow, that this is truly and properly a sin.

Argum. 3. That which is made opposite to Righteousness, that is truly and properly sin; For not punishment and Righteousness, but sin and Righteousness are two immediate Contraries. Now it's plain, That this inherent corruption makes us sinners, so that we need to be made righteous by Christ.

Argum. 4. The Apostle distinguisheth Adam's imputed sin, and inherent sin, as two sins, and so they have a two-fold distinct guilt, (as is to be showed) though some think it hard to say so. Thus the Apostle, By one mans offence, sin entered into the world: Therefore Adam's actual sin, and that sin which entered thereby, are two distinct sins, and differ as the cause and the effect. By imputed sin, we are said to sin in him actually, as it were, because his will, was our will, but by inherent sin, we are made sinners by intrinsical pollution.
