Workes

AS
touching
the
nature
of
the
Serpent
,
and
his
question
vnto
Eue.
saw
all
that
he
had
made
,
and
loe
,
it
was
very
good
:
and
therefore
the
Serpent
being
a
creature
of
God
,
in
his
first
beeing
and
nature
,
was
good
:
and
in
reasonable
construction
,
it
may
seeme
that
it
was
a
creature
very
pleasing
vnto
Adam
,
because
it
was
more
subtile
or
wise
,
then
any
beast
of
the
field
.
And
therefore
the
Diuell
cunningly
to
couer
his
malicious
and
wicked
intent
,
vseth
the
Serpent
as
his
instrument
,
to
perswade
Adam
and
Eue
vnto
sinne
.
Such
is
the
craftinesse
and
wilinesse
of
Satan
in
tempting
the
children
of
God
,
that
hee
daunceth
vnder
a
Hood
,
as
ashamed
of
his
face
;
seeming
to
be
an
Angell
of
light
,
when
he
is
an
Angell
of
darknesse
,
Christ
Iesus
heele
;
but
behold
,
hee
hath
broken
the
Serpents
head
.
And
in
the
question
which
the
Serpent
made
vnto
Eue
,
two
thinges
are
to
be
considered
.
First
,
whether
from
the
beginning
,
any
earthly
Creature
,
excepting
Man
,
had
the
reason
of
speaking
;
which
is
the
powerfull
messenger
of
the
Minde
,
diuersly
to
deliuer
,
distinguish
,
deuide
,
&
apply
to
the
outward
sense
,
and
inward
vnderstanding
of
an
other
reasonable
creature
,
by
the
instrument
of
the
toung
,
whatsoeuer
the
minde
purposeth
to
doe
,
or
obtaine
.
Secondly
,
whether
the
Serpent
was
the
Diuell
,
or
whether
the
Diuell
was
in
the
Serpent
?
For
the
first
,
it
is
most
true
,
that
no
earthly
Creature
,
excepting
Man
,
had
euer
knowledge
or
reason
of
speaking
:
But
it
may
bee
obiected
by
some
,
Marie
Magdalen
,
and
in
the
heard
of
Swine
.
And
further
,
in
the
question
of
the
Serpent
,
two
other
things
are
to
bee
considered
:
Satans
boldnesse
to
tempt
,
and
his
subtiltie
in
tempting
.
Certaine
and
sure
it
is
,
that
there
is
no
time
,
place
,
nor
person
;
when
,
where
,
and
whom
the
Diuell
will
not
most
boldly
seeke
to
tempt
and
to
ouerthrow
:
for
as
he
is
without
trueth
,
And
touching
his
subtiltie
in
tempting
,
All
Haile
;
and
made
a
hisse
vnto
the
Iewes
,
beckning
vnto
them
,
Come
,
take
him
;
this
is
hee
.
For
the
Diuell
neuer
reuealeth
himselfe
at
the
first
,
as
he
is
,
for
feare
of
discouerie
;
but
creepeth
and
windeth
in
,
by
litle
and
litle
,
into
the
heartes
of
men
:
Pampered
Horse
to
make
them
neigh
after
wanton
flesh
:
and
to
those
that
be
blasphemous
and
reprobate
,
a
Basan
Bull
,
Thus
doth
the
Diuell
both
secretly
tempt
,
and
openly
animate
man
to
sinne
and
rebell
against
God
:
But
to
auoyde
his
snares
,
and
escape
his
tyrannie
,
wee
must
continually
pray
vnto
the
Lord
for
strength
,
and
grace
,
SECT.

AS
touching
the
answere
of
Eue
vnto
the
Serpent
,
two
things
therein
are
to
be
considered
:
The
Simplicitie
of
Eue
,
and
her
Sinceritie
.
Her
Simplicitie
,
because
she
did
not
discerne
not
suspect
the
Serpents
subtiltie
:
For
in
the
1.
vers
.
of
the
3.
of
Genesis
,
you
may
read
,
that
the
Serpent
the
Diuell
,
did
not
openly
shew
his
purpose
vnto
Eue
,
by
perswading
her
in
plaine
tearmes
,
You
may
eate
of
the
Fruite
;
but
made
as
it
were
a
carelesse
question
vnto
her
,
saying
:
Yea
,
hath
God
indeed
sayd
,
Yee
shall
not
eate
of
euerie
Tree
of
the
Garden
?
Wherein
we
may
still
see
the
subtiltie
of
Satan
,
how
he
compasseth
and
ouercommeth
those
that
are
simple
and
thinke
no
ill
.
For
,
first
he
insinuateth
and
draweth
Eue
to
make
a
confession
of
God
,
and
of
his
Commaundement
;
and
afterwarde
perswadeth
her
to
breake
the
Commaundement
,
and
to
disobey
God
;
to
th'
end
her
punishment
and
condempnation
might
be
the
greater
:
For
by
how
much
the
more
it
is
for
Gods
glory
,
and
mans
consolation
,
steadfastly
in
his
hart
to
beleeue
in
God
,
And
as
touching
the
Sinceritie
of
Eue
,
it
plainely
appeareth
in
her
true
answere
vnto
the
Serpent
,
for
shee
neither
concealed
her
owne
action
,
which
in
obedience
shee
did
performe
towards
God
,
in
eating
onely
but
of
the
permitted
Fruite
:
neither
did
shee
keepe
secret
Gods
especiall
Commaundement
,
which
was
his
prohibition
,
that
they
should
not
eate
of
the
tree
in
the
middest
of
the
Garden
.
begin
in
the
spirit
,
and
end
in
the
flesh
.
It
is
better
to
be
a
Conuert
with
Paul
,
SECT.
3.
AS
touching
the
Serpentes
Replication
vnto
Eue
,
two
thinges
therein
are
to
be
considered
:
The
direct
opposition
of
Satan
against
Gods
word
,
in
saying
,
Yee
shall
not
die
at
all
.
And
his
colourable
argument
to
approoue
his
opposition
,
in
these
wordes
,
But
God
doth
know
,
that
you
shall
be
as
Gods
.
In
the
Opposition
,
is
also
to
be
considered
two
thinges
;
the
Impudencie
of
Satan
,
and
his
Malice
.
His
Impudencie
,
that
hee
dares
oppose
against
Gods
word
.
His
Malice
,
that
he
seeketh
in
as
much
as
in
him
lieth
,
to
dishonour
God
,
by
falsefying
of
his
trueth
.
In
the
colourable
argument
,
is
also
to
be
considered
two
thinges
:
Satans
fiction
,
or
feigning
of
a
feare
in
God
,
in
these
wordes
:
But
God
doth
know
&c.
And
his
fiction
of
mans
high
felicitie
,
aboue
their
created
estate
,
in
these
wordes
:
Yee
shall
bee
as
Gods
,
knowing
good
and
euill
.
As
touching
the
Opposition
,
Satan
dealeth
against
God
as
a
fugitiue
Traytor
doth
against
his
Prince
;
who
when
he
seeth
that
he
can
not
hurt
or
annoy
his
Prince
by
open
force
,
then
he
worketh
by
malice
in
secret
places
,
to
defame
the
Prince
,
discredite
his
lawes
,
and
draw
away
his
Subiectes
from
their
obedience
.
So
,
And
whom
soeuer
the
vice
of
Impudencie
doth
possesse
,
let
them
tremble
and
feare
,
least
it
make
them
,
like
vnto
Satan
,
disobedient
vnto
God
,
and
outragious
vnto
men
:
For
in
the
Impudent
mans
heart
,
Malice
lurketh
secretly
,
Blasphemie
is
in
his
mouth
,
Pride
appeareth
in
his
eyes
,
Vnrighteousnesse
preuayleth
in
his
handes
;
and
he
walketh
and
vaunteth
himselfe
in
euery
wicked
and
vngodly
way
:
as
did
Lamech
,
would
slay
a
man
in
his
wound
,
and
a
young
man
in
his
hurt
.
And
as
concerning
Satans
Malice
,
it
hath
a
respect
,
&
eye
,
And
as
touching
Satans
fiction
,
or
feigning
of
mans
high
Felicitie
aboue
their
created
estate
,
he
much
deceiued
,
and
abused
Eue
:
Of
the
Dust
:
By
whom
he
was
made
;
by
God
:
in
what
maner
he
was
made
;
God
breathed
in
his
face
breath
of
life
:
and
the
Man
was
a
liuing
soule
;
that
is
,
an
Eternall
creature
,
not
subiect
to
death
by
Creation
,
but
by
his
disobedient
action
against
God
:
in
what
place
he
was
put
;
Garden
of
Eden
:
what
Companion
he
had
;
Man
&
Wife
.
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord.

ANd
as
touching
the
Womans
Consent
to
the
Serpents
Perswasion
,
in
it
are
to
be
considered
,
foure
principall
thinges
.
Her
Reuolution
or
pondering
vpon
the
temptation
.
Her
outward
Perspection
of
the
beautie
of
the
Fruite
.
Her
inward
Inspection
of
the
qualitie
thereof
:
And
her
setled
Resolution
,
to
take
and
eate
thereof
.
Concerning
the
Reuolution
:
As
in
all
naturall
&
vitall
things
,
no
thing
is
sodainly
perfected
,
but
there
must
be
first
,
Conception
,
then
Nutrition
,
then
Concrescion
,
Hath
God
in
deed
said
,
yee
shal
not
eate
?
Eue
listned
and
gaue
eare
,
aunswering
:
If
we
eate
,
we
die
.
Ye
shal
not
die
;
but
if
you
eate
,
Your
eyes
shall
be
opened
,
and
yee
shall
be
as
Gods
,
knowing
good
and
euill
.
Herevpon
she
deliberated
;
and
so
shee
seeing
that
the
Tree
was
good
for
meate
,
Tooke
of
the
fruite
,
and
did
eate
.
Whereby
we
may
see
the
readinesse
of
Satan
to
corrupt
the
minde
of
Man
;
and
Mans
simplicitie
,
to
giue
attention
,
his
weaknesse
to
be
perswaded
,
his
idlenesse
to
deliberate
,
his
foolishnesse
to
consent
,
and
his
wickednesse
to
performe
.
Wherefore
let
euery
one
that
is
desirous
to
serue
the
Lord
,
and
obey
his
voyce
,
giue
no
attention
to
Satans
motion
,
but
stoppe
the
eare
,
though
hee
charme
neuer
so
subtilly
:
For
if
thou
wilt
heare
his
motion
,
yet
heare
not
his
perswasion
:
If
he
will
perswade
,
yet
keepe
it
not
in
minde
to
deliberate
vpon
it
,
least
it
ouersway
thy
Iudgement
,
and
corrupt
thy
Vnderstanding
.
If
thou
shouldest
deliberate
,
yet
consent
not
:
for
concupiscence
with
consent
,
And
concerning
Eues
perspection
,
or
beholding
of
the
outward
beautie
of
the
Fruite
,
two
thinges
therein
are
to
be
considered
:
the
Precurrencie
or
Forming
of
the
outward
sense
to
like
,
and
the
Concurrencie
or
Consent
of
the
inward
affection
to
imbrace
.
Saw
all
that
he
had
made
,
and
loe
,
it
was
very
good
:
And
in
the
disposing
of
his
Creatures
,
when
he
presented
them
vnto
man
,
man
did
see
that
they
were
very
glorious
.
Iabesh
Gilead
to
thrust
them
out
,
thereby
to
bring
a
shame
vpon
Israel
;
So
Satan
picketh
at
this
excellent
instrument
the
Eye
of
man
,
Beautie
of
an
Idoll
,
perswadeth
the
Minde
to
commit
Idolatrie
.
looking
vpon
a
Woman
,
causeth
the
Heart
to
lust
,
and
to
commit
Adulterie
.
The
Sonnes
of
God
seeing
the
Daughters
of
Men
that
they
were
faire
,
tooke
them
Wiues
of
all
that

it
,
and
hidde
them
in
his
Tent.
dauncing
Damsell
,
made
him
vow
Iohn
Baptists
death
.
Therefore
we
ought
to
remember
the
lesson
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
who
teacheth
vs
,
If
thine
Eye
causeth
thee
to
offend
,
plucke
it
out
,
and
cast
it
from
thee
;
for
,
the
light
of
the
body
is
the
eye
:
If
the
light
then
that
is
in
thee
be
darknesse
,
how
great
is
that
darknesse
?
It
is
better
for
thee
to
goe
with
one
eye
into
the
kingdome
of
Heauen
,
then
hauing
two
eyes
,
to
be
cast
into
Hell
fire
for
euermore
.
But
if
the
eye
be
holy
and
vpright
,
then
is
it
compared
vnto
Iudgement
,
Obedience
,
Humilitie
,
Chastitie
,
Pitty
,
Fayth
,
Hope
,
and
Loue
.
And
Eue
abusing
her
Eye
,
yeelded
vnto
sinne
,
and
coueted
the
forbidden
Fruite
.
And
concerning
Eues
Inspection
,
or
Consideration
of
the
inwarde
qualitie
of
the
Fruite
.
Certaine
it
is
,
after
the
Eye
was
delighted
with
the
Beautie
,
and
the
Stomacke
longed
after
the
meate
of
the
Fruite
;
then
was
the
Minde
vpon
Fleshly
counsaile
,
and
Debate
perswaded
,
that
it
was
to
be
desired
to
get
knowledge
and
dignitie
.
Woe
be
vnto
them
that
speake
good
of
euill
,
and
euill
of
good
;
which
put
darknes
for
light
,
and
light
for
darknes
;
that
put
bitter
for
sweete
,
and
sweete
for
bitter
:
for
sinne
,
may
make
an
excuse
to
the
sinner
,
&
blind
his
eyes
with
some
shew
of
goodnesse
in
the
sinne
,
that
hee
shall
not
see
his
fault
;
but
it
can
not
so
excuse
him
before
God
,
and
blinde
his
fight
,
who
will
iudge
and
condemne
him
for
his
sinne
.
Desire
of
knowledge
?
Man
of
God
,
Rich
mans
Content
,
could
not
exempt
his
life
from
Graue
:
If
iudgement
(
for
sinne
)
begin
at
the
house
of
God
,
where
shall
the
wicked
and
vngodly
appeare
?
Be
not
deceiued
:
God
is
not
mocked
.
His
word
is
Trueth
and
Amen
,
Be
not
ouercome
of
euill
,
but
ouercome
euil
with
goodnesse
:
for
,
Blessed
are
they
,
that
keepe
and
doe
the
Commandements
of
the
Lord
,
that
their
right
may
be
in
the
tree
of
Life
,
and
may
enter
in
through
the
gates
into
the
holy
Citie
(
heauenly

:
for
without
shall
be
Dogges
(
such

and

(
such

and

And
concerning
Eues
setled
Resolution
or
Determination
to
Take

eate
the
Fruite
:
It
may
be
sayd
,
bring
forth
death

Thus
we
see
the
Resolution
of
Eue
,
and
the
cause

AS
touching
the
Womans
Guift

and
his
Acceptance

Two
thinges
therein
are
to
be
considered
;
Eues
simple
Intent
,
and
Adams
simple
Consent
:
the
one
in
offering
,
the
other
in
taking
the
Fruite
.
of
sinne
,
is
death
.
For
not
onely
Man
,
but
euery
sensible
Creature
,
by
instinct
of
nature
,
haue
a
sense
of
things
which
are
good
or
hurtfull
vnto
them
;
for
the
one
,
they
imbrace
as
their
apparant
good
;
and
the
other
,
they
fly
from
,
as
their
apparant
euill

How
then
can
Man
,
who
is
the
image
of
God
,
hauing
a
reasonable
soule
,
indued
with
knowledge
in
generall
,
and
a
commaundement
giuen
vnto
him
in

be
excused
by
simplicitie
,
when
hee
breaketh
the
Commaundement

Law
of
God
;
the
proclamation
whereof
,
shrill
Trumpet
,
that
the

may
heare
it
?
For
,
The
sound
thereof
is
gone
out
to
the
vttermost
partes
of
the
earth
:
the
contentes
whereof
are
written
in
great
Characters
,
that
the
simple

may
run
and
read
it
:
and
the
knowledge
whereof
,
is
as
cleare

for
,
It
giueth
Light

Vnderstanding
to
the
Simple
:
and
,
It
is
Milke

&
Meate
to

and
therfore
Simplicitie
can
be
no

.
For
as
the

Commaundement
of

is
giuen
to
all

without

so
it
taketh
vengeance

AS
touching
the
Effect
of
eating
the
forbidden
fruite
;
Two
thinges
therein
are
to
bee
considered
:
The
Miserie
of
Man
by
Transgressing
,
and
the
Iustice
of
God
by
Punishing
.
To
disobey
Gods
Word
,
The
reward
of
sinne
,
euen
eternall
Death
;
which
our
Parentes
purchased
to
them selues
,
and
their
posteritie
,
by

the
forbidden
Fruite
,
had
not
God
in
his
mercie
spared
and
redeemed
them
in
the
loue
of
his
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
.
The
ioyes
of
heauen
can
be
expressed
:
which
neither
Eye
hath
seene
,
nor
Eare
hath
heard
,
nor
the
Heart
of
man
can
not
conceiue
.
I
might
also
speake
of
the
punishmentes
in
this
life
,
wherewith
God
doth
punish
the
wicked
for
their
sinnes
:
but
of
this
,
we
may
read
at
large
in
the
28.
chapter
of
Deutronomie
:
to
the
which
I
do
referre
you
:
wherein
as
in
a
perfect
Mirror
and
Glasse
,
you
may
behold
and
see
the
miserie
of
Man
,
euen
in
this
life
,
for
breaking
and
disobeying
the
Commaundementes
of
God
.
Iustice
of
God
,
in
punishing
of
sinne
,
it
necessarily
agreeth
both
with
his
Nature
,
and
with
his
Word
.
By
his
Nature
he
is
most
holie
;
and
therefore
can
not
but
punish
iniquitie
.
By
his
Word
he
hath
threatned
punishment
for
sinne
,
and
therefore
sinners
must
looke
for
punishment
;
because
he
is
most
true
.
For
who
can
charge
the
Lord
,
that
hee
hath
spoken
,
and
not
performed
what
he
hath
spoken
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
ages
?
Or
whether
any
Tittle
of
the
word
of
God
hath
fayled
and
not
taken
effect
,
For

AS
touching
the
Inquisition
of
God
after
Adam
and
Eue
;
therein
Three
things
are
to
be
considered
.
The
Time
of
the
Inquisition
:
the
Cause
of
the
Inquisition
:
and
the
Inquisition
it selfe
.
God
made
Inquirie
after
Adam
and
Eue
,
when
as
they
departed
from
him
,
and
had
eaten
of
the
forbidden
Fruite
;
as
Salomon
did
after
Shimei
,
Dust
and
Clay
,
Breake
them
in
peeces
like
a
Potters
vessell
?
He
is
a
iealous
God
;
he
will
haue
his
word
to
be
obeyed
,
and
the
contemners
and
breakers
thereof
,
shall
die
the
death
:
for
as
sinne
is
begotten
by
Pride
in
rebellion
,
so
it
is
punished
by
Gods
iustice
in
confusion
.
And
touching
the
Cause
of
the
Inquisition
:
make
him
to
know
him selfe
,
that
he
was
a
Creature
,
because
he
was
bound
to
a
Law
by
his
Creator
:
The
other
,
to
acknowledge
the
wisedome
and
glory
of
his
Creator
,
in
looking
for
loue
and
obedience
from
his
Creature
,
by
performance
of
the
Law
,
;
the
which
obeying
,
God
made
to
man
,
the
promise
of
life
:
and
in
disobeying
,
he
threatned
punishment
by
death
.
They
that
haue
done
good
,
shall
enter
into
eternall
life
:
and
they
that
haue
done
euill
,
into
eternall
death
.
Old

not
been

:
the

and

to

this

,
Saw
all
thinges
that
he
had
made
,
and
loe
,
they
were
exceeding
good
;
hee
in
the
puritie
of
his
glory
,
must
purge
Paradise
of
this
odious

;
and
in
the
sinceritie
of

,
detest
Man

hath
coupled
him selfe
with
this
monster
Sinne
,
and
thereby
disfigured
and
defaced
the
gracious
image
of

in
him

This
was
the
cause
of
Gods
Inquisition
after
Adam
:
for
he
could
not
behold
his
rebellion

sinne
,
and
suffer
them
to
goe
vnpunished

the
Apprehension

Adam

Eue

Two
thinges

:
The
Power

&
the
Weaknesse

Man

to

If
so
God
should
enquire

all
things
that
Man
doth
,
and
yet
not
able

apprehende
Man
for
his
fault
,
what
care
of
obedience
,
or
what
feare
would
Man
haue

Nay
,
what
blasphemies
,
what
rowtes
and
rebellion
(
as
I
may
so
speake
)
would
he
not
commit
against
God
?
For
then
Man
would
heape
sinne
vpon
sinne
,
Which
sitteth
in
Heauen
,
shall
laugh
them
to

How
can

For

how

Whose

AS
touching
the
Arraignement

Two
thinges
therein
are
to
be
considered
:
The
Person
of
the
Iudge
:
and
,
the
Prisoners
at
the
Barre

The
Iudge
is
,
The
Lord
GOD

whose
wisedome
,
equitie

and
order
,
in
proceeding
to
tryall

the
Prisoners

is
to
be
obserued
:
And
first
concerning
the
Person
of
the
Iudge
.
It
is
,
The
Lord
God
:
not
a
Lord
,
which
hath
his
authoritie
from
an
other
;
but
he
is
the
Lord
God
of
all
thinges
:
For
of
him
,
and
through

and
for
him

are
all

to
him
therefore
be
glory
for
euer

Amen

as
sayth
the

And
as
he
is
the
Lord

so
he
gouerneth
all
thinges
,
and
iudgeth
all
men
.
And
as
he
is
God
,
so
he
hath
created
all
things
,
and
restored
all
things
:
Eternall
word
,
by
which
all
things
were
made
:
Eternall
light
,
by
which
all

are
comforted
:
Eternall

,
by
which
all

are
continued
:
And
therefore
for
to
say
that
he
is
the
Lord
,
and
not
God
;
that
were
to
take
away
his
wisedome
&
power
in

and
to
say
that
he
were
God

and
not

;
that
were
to
take

his
Maiestie
,
Iustice
,

So

them
;
their
Consciences
shall
tremble
,
their
Heartes
shall
melt
,
&
they
shall
not
be
able
to
answere
one
sinne
of
a
thousand
.
Iesus
Christ
;
who
is
a
Sauiour
vnto
all
them
that
put
their
trust
in
him
.
And
as
touching
the
Serpent
,
or
the
Diuell
in
the
Serpent
,
he
maketh
no
answere
at
all
vnto
God
;
neither
had
he
any
coulour
to
excuse
his
fault
by
any
meanes
,
or
to
lay
it
vpon
any
person
:
for
he
is
the
Author
of
sinne
,
&
the
Father
of
lyes
;
and
therefore
he
is
conuicted
by
his
silence
,
and
standeth
mute
and
dumme
,
trembling
&
quaking
before
the
presence
and
throne
of
Almightie
God
,
who
is
a
most
iust
Iudge
,
and
fearefull
Lord
,
vnto
all
those
that
hate
him
.

AS
touching
their
Iudgement
,
it
is
seuerall
and
contrary
to
the
course
that
God
obserued
in
their
Arraignement
:
for
he
first
giueth
sentence
against
the
Serpent
;
because
he
was
the
principall
actor
to
perswade
to
sinne
:
Then
against
Eue
;
because
she
first
consented
to
sinne
:
Lastly
,
against
Adam
;
because
he
agreed
to
his
wiues
perswasion
to
sinne
.
In
the
Iudgement
of
the
Serpent
,
are
to
be
considered
three
thinges
:
his
exceeding
Miserie
;
Thou
art
cursed
aboue
all
creatures
:
his
Malice
to
Christ
;
for
Enmitie
shal
be
betweene
thee
and
the
Woman
,
betweene
thy
seede
and
her
seede
:
his
Weakenes
to
resist
Christ
;
Thou
shalt
bruse
his
heele
,
but
be
shall
breake
thy
head
.
In
the
first
,
we
see
what
is
the
rewarde
of
sinne
:
a
Cursse
.
In
the
second
,
SECT.
12.
AS
touching
their
Expulsion
out
of
Paradise
:
in
it
there
are
to
be
considered
two
things
:
The
Care
which
God
had
of
Adam
:
And
,
his
Milde
reprehension
of
him
.
His
Care
:
hee
made
them
Coates
,
&
clothed
them
.
Satan
dealt
with
our
Parents
,
Sam.
10.3.4
.
as
Hanun
King
of
the
Ammonits
did
with
Dauids
seruantes
,
who
in
contempt
of
Dauid
,
and
hatred
vnto
them
,
shaued
off
the
halfe
of
their
Beard
,
and
cut
off
their
Garmentes
in
the
middle
,
euen
to
their
buttocks
,
and
sent
them
away
.
So
the
Diuel
,
in
contempt
of
God
,
and
malice
to
Man
,
deuised
how
to
shaue
off
with
the
knife
of
Sinne
,
from
the
heartes
of
our
Parentes
;
not
the
halfe
,
but
the
whole
ornament
and
beautie
of
grace
:
and
to
cut
off
not
onely
their
Garmentes
of
Innocencie
and
Righteousnesse
in
the
middle
,
but
wholly
to
spoyle
and
to
robbe
them
thereof
,
and
to
leaue
them
all
naked
,
and
ashamed
in
the
sight
of
God
and
Angels
:
Iesus
Christ
,
comforted
the
inward
man
by
fayth
,
&
hope
:
and
renewed
the
outward
man
,
by
Sanctification
,
&
Preseruation
.
And
as
the
Seruaunts
of
Dauid
were
appoynted
to
tarry
in
Iericho
vntill
their
Beardes
were
growen
,

A
similitude
of
mans
corruption
in

,
and
of
his
glorious
resurrection
to

.
and
then
to
come
vnto
the
Kinges
Court
at
Ierusalem
;
so
God
hath
appoynted
Adam
,
and
all
flesh
the
sonnes
of
Adam
,
to
dwell
vpon
the
earth
,
and
to
rest
in
the
Graue
,
vntill
their
mortalitie
shall
put
on
immortalitie
,
and
then
to
come
vnto
the
heauenly
Court
of
God
in
his
holy
and
celestiall
Ierusalem
,
there
to
remaine
&
dwell
with
him
for

.
And
also
,
And
as
concerning
the
Milde
reprehension
of
God
to
Adam
,
although
it
may
seeme
ironicall
,
and
in
some
sort
spoken
by
way
of
disgrace
,
yet
it
is
most
milde
,
in
respect
of
Adams
sinne
;
who
deserued
no

Gods
mercifull

sparing

not
