Clay or the Architect with the Edifice then may I in some sort resemble that loue of God towards man in creating woman vnto the affectionate care of Abraham for his sonne Isaac who that hee might not take to wife one of the daughters of the Canaanites did prouide him one of his owne kindred Almighty God who is rich in mercie hauing made all things of nothing and created man in his owne image that is as the Apostle expounds it In wisedome righteousnesse and true holinesse making him Lord ouer all to auoide that solitatie condition that hee was then in hauing none to commerce or conuerse withall but dumbe creatures it seemed good vnto the Lord that as of euery creature hee had made male and female and man onely being alone without mate so likewise to forme an helpe meete for him Adam for this cause being cast into a heauy sleepe God extracting a rib from his side thereof made or built Woman shewing thereby that man was as an vnperfect building afore woman was made and bringing her vnto Adam vnited and married them together Thus the resplendent loue of God toward man appeared in taking care to prouide him an helper before hee saw his owne want and in prouiding him such an helper as should bee meete for him Soueraignety had hee ouer all creatures and they were all seruiceable vnto him but yet afore woman was formed there was not a meete helpe found for Adam Mans worthinesse not meriting this great fauour at Gods hands but his mercie onely mouing him therevnto I may vse those words which the Iewes vttered when they saw Christ weepe for Lazarus Behold how hee loued him Behold and that with good regard Gods loue yea his great loue which from the beginning hee hath borne vnto man which as it appeares in all things so next his loue in Christ Iesus apparantly in this that for mans sake that hee might not be an vnite when all other creatures were for procreation duall hee created woman to bee a solace vnto him to participate of his sorrowes partake of his pleasures and as a good yoke-fellow beare part of his burthen Of the excellencie of this Structure I meane of Women whose foundation and original of creation was Gods loue do I intend to dilate Of Womans Excellency with the causes of her creation and of the sympathie which ought to be in man and wife each toward other THE worke of Creation being finished this approbation thereof was giuen by God himselfe That All was very good If All then Woman who excepting man is the most excellent creature vnder the Canopie of heauen But if it be obiected by any First that woman though created good yet by giuing eare to Sathans temptations brought death misery vpon all her posterity Secondly That Adam was not deceiued but that the woman was deceiued and was in the transgression Thirdly that Saint Paul saith It were good for a man not to touch a woman Fourthly and lastly that of Salomon who seemes to speake against all of our sex I haue found one man of a thousand but a woman among them all haue I not found whereof in it due place To the first of these obiections I answere that Sathan first assailed the woman because where the hedge is lowest most easie it is to get ouer and she being the weaker vessell was with more facility to be seduced Like as a Cristall glasse sooner receiues a cracke then a strong stone pot Yet we shall finde the offence of Adam and Eue almost to paralell For as an ambitious desire of being made like vnto God was the motiue which caused her to eate so likewise was it his as may plainely appeare by that Ironica Behold man is become as one of vs Not that hee was so indeed but heereby his desire to attaine a greater perfection then God had giuen him was reproued Woman sinned it is true by her infidelitie in not beleeuing the Word of God but giuing credite to Sathans faire promises that shee should not die but so did the man too And if Adam had not approoued of that deed which Eue had done and beene willing to treade the steps which she had gone hee being her Head would haue reproued her and haue made the commandement a bit to restraine him from breaking his Makers Iniunction For if a man burne his hand in the fire the bellowes that blowed the fire are not to be blamed but himselfe rather for not being carefull to auoyde the danger Yet if the bellowes had not blowed the fire had not burnt no more is woman simply to bee condemned for mans transgression for by the free will which before his fall hee enioyed hee might haue auoyded and beene free from beeing burnt or singed with that fire which was kindled by Sathan and blowne by Eue. It therefore serued not his turne a whit afterwardes to say The woman which thou gauest mee gaue mee of the tree and I did eate For a penalty was inflicted vpon him as well as on the woman the punishment of her transgression being particular to her owne fex and to none but the female kinde but for the sinne of man the whole earth was cursed And he being better able then the woman to haue resisted temptation because the stronger vessell was first called to account to shew that to whom much is giuen of them much is required and that he who was the soueraigne of all creatures visible should haue yeelded greatest obedience to God True it is as is already confessed that woman first sinned yet finde wee no mention of spirituall nakednesse till man had sinned then it is said Their eyes were opened the eies of their mind and conscience and then perceiued they themselues naked that is not onely bereft of that integritie which they originally had but felt the rebellion disobedience of their members in the disordered motions of their now corrupt nature which made them for shame to couer their nakednesse then and not afore is it said that they saw it as if sinne were imperfect and vnable to bring a depriuation of a blessing receiued or death on all mankind till man in whom lay the actiue power of generation had transgressed The offence therefore of Adam and Eue is by Saint Austin thus distinguished the man sinned against God and himselfe the woman against God her selfe and her husband yet in her giuing of the fruit to eate had she no malicious intent towardes him but did therein shew a desire to make her husband partaker of that happinesse which she thought by their eating they should both haue enioyed This her giuing Adam of that sawce wherewith Sathan had serued her whose sowrenesse afore he had eaten she did not perceiue was that which made her sinne to exceede his wherefore that she might not of him who ought to honour her be abhorred
