On this subject divines are not agreed.

In strictness, original sin is an improper use of words, as sin, Exodus 6termini, implies volition and the transgression of a known rule of duty by a moral agent. But this application of the words has been established by long use, and it serves to express ideas which many wise and good men entertain on this subject.
