Answ. It is not true, that all that were in Adam sinned in him: 1for they only sinned that were in him, not only in respect of the substance of the flesh, but in respect of the carnal manner by which ordinarily man is begotten by man, but Christ was in Adam in respect of the substance of his flesh, but not in respect of the manner of propagation by him, because he was conceived without the seed of man, and therefore sinned not in Adam: or thus: Original sin is derived unto Adams Posterity by propagation only, now Christ to prevent that, came into the world by this wonderful conception by the holy Ghost. Paul saith, not of one man, but by one man sin entered into the world: Christ is only from Adam, other men are from him in respect of substance, and by him in respect of propagation.
