In his own words on Romans
- Romans 5:12
Such was the soul's first state. Created pure Through sordid union with the flesh it fell Into iniquity; stained by Adam's sin, It tainted all the race from him derived, And infant souls inherit at their birth The first man's sin; no one is sinless born.
THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST, LINES 909-15
