I. The sin of Adam doth pass to his posterity by two means, by imputation, & propagation.
II. The punishments which all men suffer in the name of Adam, do argue that the sin of Adam is imputed to us: This the Apostle teacheth, Rom. 5.12. Death passed on all men, by one man, in whom all men sinned, or because all men sinned in him: For the sin of Adam was not only personal, neither did he sin as a singular person, but as carrying all mankind in the stock and original; no otherwise, than Christ satisfying for us on the Cross, hath not suffered as a private person, but as sustaining and representing the whole Church in the head. Saint Paul, 2 Cor. 5.15 speaketh thus: If one died for all, all likewise were dead. And Rom. 6, doth affirm that we are dead and crucified with Christ.
If therefore we died in Christ dying, and were crucified with him, it is no doubt but that it may likewise be said, that we sinned in Adam: For if the satisfaction and righteousness of the second Adam be imputed to us, why shall not the sin of Adam be imputed to us, why shall not the sin of the first Adam be imputed to us; seeing that therefore the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us, that the sin of Adam might not be imputed to us?
