Garden and I was afraid because I was Naked and I hid my self And the Lord God said Who told thee that thou wast naked Hast thou eaten of the Tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat Who began to excuse himself saying The Woman thou gavest to be with me she gave me to eat and I did eat And the Lord God said to the Woman What is this that thou hast done And the Woman said The Serpent beguiled me and I did eat And the Lord God said unto the Serpent Because thou hast done this cursed art thou above all Cattel and above every Beast of the Field on thy Belly shalt thougo and Dust shalt thou eat c. And I will put Enmity between thee and the Woman and between thy Seed and her Seed it shall bruise thy Head and thou shalt bruise his Heel So the Lord sent him forth from the Garden to till the Ground c. and placed at the East of the Garden of Eden Cherubims and a Flaming Sword which turned every way to keep the Way of the Tree of Life Oh miserable Change Oh deplorable Alteration Oh lamentable State undeclarable undone Condition unexpressible Fall What! he that was in the Image of the Incorruptible Being a Living Soul inhabiting in the Garden of the Lord where the Tree of Life was and the Splendor of the Glory of the Divine Being was known and enjoyed drove from all into the Earth and not only so but the Cherubims and Flaming Sword that turneth every way placed to keep the Way of the Tree of Life Be astonished oh Heavens at this and be horribly afraid oh Earth The Lord God brought up Children and they Rebelled against him Now what was the Cause and Ground O ye Sons and Daughters of Adam that brought this horrible Change that brought man into this deplorable State and Condition Was it not Disobedience to the Righteous Law of God Did not Sin enter into the World through Disobedience and Death by Sin And is not Sin continued in the World through Disobedience Is there any other Way by which Sin enters now then it did then and Death by Sin which has reigned over all and reigns over all who are in the fallen Estate from God even over them that have not sinned according to the Similitude of Adam's Transgression For all have not sinned according to his Similitude who was deceived with an Expectation of an higher Estate then that in which the Lord God had placed him But all Iniquity of what Similitude soever is one in the Ground and becomes a Separator of man from his God So the Ground of all Iniquity and Transgression that ever was is or shall be is man's Disobeying the Righteous Law of God Disobedience whereunto bringeth Death But what was that which in Adam dyed and what was the Death seeing that the Lord said In the Day thou eatest of the Tree before mentioned thou shalt surely Dye and yet though he did eat thereof he lived outwardly and had Children It was the Inward Man that dyed which was so made by the Living Breath of the Almighty for man going out of the Counsel of the Lord by his Disobedience came to be alienated from the Life of God and so became insensible of that primary Life in which he was wholely a right Seed and a noble Plant In his Degeneration he became inwardly dead the inward Senses of the inward Man were lost the inward Ear was stopped the inward Eye was blinded the inward Sence of tasting how good the Lord is the inward Feeling after the Divine Virtue who is all Power Life Love and Joy the inward Sence of Smelling his Garments that smell of Myrrh and of the Spikenard Spiritually were all lost and instead thereof an Ear opened that hearkened to the Voice of the Stranger and an Eye opened that saw the forbidden Fruit pleasant and desirable the Heavenly Cloathing of Innocency Meakness and Resignation lost and thus he came to be without God in the World and here in this Estate Man was altogether out of a Capacity of abiding in the Garden or partaking of the Heavenly Tree of Life that was in the midst thereof and in this Estate are all the unconverted Sons and Daughters of men notwithstanding all Fig-leaf-Coverings of Professions But as the Law of the Spirit of Life breaketh forth in its Manifestation and the Sons and Daughters of men come with it to be awakened they will have the Sight and true Sence of their inward Estate and Condition which will indeed cause a Cry to arise in the Soul Oh wretched Estate Oh miserable Condition And here the Entrance of Sin comes to be seen which hath brought Death for the Wages of Sin is Death which was the Death that came over Adam and over all since that have disobeyed the Righteous Spiritual Law of God which is just holy and good and was before Transgression which Law bringeth to Christ the Promised Seed the Gift of God which is Eternal Life Now man being thus departed out of that Nature Image and Seed in which man had his Being before Transgression is become the degenerate Plant of a strange Vine before the Lord God that made him And from the Sons and Daughters of men as they stand joyned to this Nature and Seed of the Serpent which hath defiled Man in Soul Body and Spirit proceed these Branches and Fruits of Iniquity to wit Pride Envy Emulation Strife Variance Debate Hatred Wrath Anger Murder Inordinate Affection Concupiscence Lasciviousness Wantonness Vanity Uncleanness Fornication Adulteries Love to this World Drunkenness Revelling Idleness Swearing Cursings Cheating Defrauding Double-dealing Evil-speaking Back-biting Covetousness Idolatry Witchcraft Man being thus fallen from God into this miserable deplorable State the infinite Being in his Endless Boundless Fathomless Loving-kindness hath opened a Way by which Mankind might be restored up to himself again which Way is the promised Seed concerning whom he said to the Serpent I will put Enmity between thee and the Woman and between thy Seed and her Seed it shall bruise thy Head and thou shalt bruise his Heel So herein was the tender Mercy of the everlasting God extended unto Mankind in leaving a Seed else all would have been as Sodom and like unto Gomorrah which God destroyed with Fire in his Wrath So this is that one Seed on which he hath laid Help who is mighty to save who is the Image of the Invisible God the First-born of every Creature in which Image Man was before the Transgression who was glorified with the Father before the World began This is He of whom in the Name of the great Jehovah I give Testimony That He is the Way of Life and Salvation and that there is no other Name by which any man can be saved then by him who was and is and is to come who was from Everlasting to Everlasting the Rock of Ages which followed Israel and was in the Church in the Wilderness as Stephen
