Chapter 45.—In Adam’s
First Sin, Many Kinds of Sin Were Involved.
However, even in that one sin,
which “by one man entered into the world, and so passed upon all
men,”1166
and on
account of which infants are baptized, a number of distinct sins
may be observed, if it be analyzed as it were into its separate
elements. For there is in it pride, because man chose to be under
his own dominion, rather than under the dominion of God; and
blasphemy, because he did not believe God; and murder, for he
brought death upon himself; and spiritual fornication, for the
purity of the human soul was corrupted by the seducing
blandishments of the serpent; and theft, for man turned to his own
use the food he had been forbidden to touch; and avarice, for he
had a craving for more than should have been sufficient for him;
and whatever other sin can be discovered on careful reflection to
be involved in this one admitted sin.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
