ADAM.—­In what his sin consisted, 444.  Error of those who believe that Adam was wise and did good from himself, and that this was his state of integrity, 135.  The evil in which each man is born, is not derived hereditarily from Adam, but from his parents, 525.  If it is believed that the guilt of Adam is inscribed on all the human race, it is because few reflect on any evil in themselves, and thence know it, 525.  Adam and man are one expression in the Hebrew tongue, 156*.
