Justification #10
10. I. A CONFIRMATION OF THE ABOVE POINTS FROM [THE CANONS AND DECREES OF] THE COUNCIL OF TRENT 1
Through the fault of his transgression Adam underwent a complete change for the worse both in body and soul. Adam's transgression was harmful not merely to himself but also to his descendants, transmitting not only death and bodily suffering to the entire human race but also sin, which is the death of the soul, Session V, 17th June 1546.

1. [Editor's note: Beginning in section 10, the remaining sections in the manuscript are confirmations of the summary teachings listed in sections 1-9 above, using quotations from the Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent (1546-7). The quotations however are not always verbatim; words and clauses are omitted, and occasionally there is paraphrase. Swedenborg was apparently extracting the material for his own use.]
