Question 83 — Of the Subject of Original Sin

We must now consider the subject of original sin, under which head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the subject of original sin is the flesh rather than the soul?

• (2) If it be the soul, whether this be through its essence, or through its powers?
• (3) Whether the will prior to the other powers is the subject of original sin?
• (4) Whether certain powers of the soul are specially infected, viz., the generative power, the concupiscible part, and the sense of touch?
