IIII. That in Adam all men sinned.
But for as much as al mankinde which was by naturall generation to issue from Adam, was then in his loines, whereby the comman∣dement vvith the curse annexed, pertained not onelie to the person of Adam, but to all mankinde likewise: The,
efore with the Apo∣stle do vve beleeue and confesse, that in Adam sinning, all men sinned: so that, that disobedience was not onelie proper to Adam himselfe, but also made common to all mankinde, sith his guiltines enwrapped all men, who were then and are yet dailie carnallie to be begotten of his seede. Euen as the Apostle to the Romaines plainly teacheth, yea and most strongly proo∣ueth by an Antithesis or contraposition of the disobedience of Adam, and the obediēce of Christ. For if the obedience of Christ be no lesse ours by imputation, then his owne by his proper action; because wee are regenerate of his incorruptible seede, and of his spirite; it followeth, that the disobedience likewise of Adam must be imputed vnto vs, and we tou∣ched with his guiltines, because we are borne of the seed of his flesh, being father of al men.
