Romans5:16

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation: but the free gift is of many offences to justification .

q. d. As there is a difference between Adam and Christ in respect of their persons, so also in respect of their Acts, and the extent thereof; for one sin of Adam did condemn us, the mischief arose from one offence; but the free gift and grace of Christ doth absolve us not only from that one fault, but from all other Faults and Offences. It reacheth to the pardon not only of Original Sin, but of all other personal and actual sins.
