he did not perceive nor she neither that they were naked for they knew no more of shame and fear than the little children which we daily see fitting in the streets naked without shame and fear 7. But when it came to pass that they listened more to the Serpent than to the Lord God and their eyes were fixed on the pleasant tree and its fair fruits and this was not all but instantly they stretcht forth their hands and toucht them ah wo now Lust was let loose they took of it and did eat herewith it was done then both their eyes were opened and with grief they perceived that they were naked and twisted or sewed fig-leaves together and made themselves aprons 8. Now they perceived that they were naked what else is that to say then what we see daily in our children when they grow marriageable and begin to be ashamed 9. Hence it is apparent that marriagebleness brings forth shame but sname causeth fear 10. And therefore their nakedness was not the cause of their shame and fear but the unchast Lust which after the eating of the pleasant fruit was stirred up in them For Wine maketh drunk Napellus poisoneth Cicuta maketh mad and the fruit of the pleasant tree causeth wantoness Now this Wantonness or Lasciviousness being covered with the word Nakedness is the Spirits modesty 11. But that the fruit of this Tree hath wrought in them the Disease of unchast Lust and hath made them drunk with Lasciviousness and infected them throughout the Lord God testifieth of this when he saith Who hath told thee that thou art naked Hast thou eaten of the Tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat 12. If a Flagon full of sweet Wine stood on my Table and I should say to my servant take heed that thou ●rink not out of the Flagon that ●andeth on the Table for if thou ●rinkest out of it it will be ill with ●hee But he coveting after it should ●rink a good draught out of it insomuch that he reeled And when I came home again should call Boy where art thou And the Boy should come crawling along on his hands and feet and could scarcely speak And I should say to him What ailest thou And he should answer me and say Oh Maa-ster I I I ca-ca-can not ●tand And I should say to him Why canst thou not stand Thon naughty Boy hast thou drunk out of the Flagon which I hid thee that thou shouldest not drink out of it 13. But what would we say of it We ●nfer this that the sweet Wine in the Flagon which made him drunk caused him to reel and stutter so that he crawls on his hands and feet and can scarcely speak 14. Therefore if Adam had not caten of the Tree he had not been made partaker of the Tree's property in the unchast Lust And if he had not been partaker of the unchast Lust then he would not have perceived his nakedness but would have continued alwayes as the unmarriageable children without lasciviousness and consequently without shame and fear For to go naked is no sin because Adam and his Wife was by God himself not onely created naked but we all after him come naked into this Wold even unto this day Therefore to be naked and to go naked is no sin nor abomination in the eyes of God and it was needless for that cause to be covered with Fig-leaves But the abomination in the eyes of God is unchastity whereby the body created of God naked and pure is defiled Here it is and this is it which we fain would cover for we are ashamed and are afraid and this is the reason why we do it in private in dark corners avoiding the light and do it by night whether it be done honestly or dishonestly all will not keep off the shame 15. Come on now ye Atheists who say that Lust is no more sin than eating or drinking or evacuating and voiding the excrement because the one is natural as wel as the other Answer me and ye shall be heard open your mouth that we may perceive and answer for your selves then will we tell you whether you be in the right Why are ye ashamed to go naked now more than when ye were little and of tender years why do not you go uncovered in your privities before all people as the little children do Why are ye ashamed to do your need openly before all people as well as ye eat drink and let others look on and are not shie of it But ye creep into bawdy corners as Zimri and Cosbi and hide your selves from the faces of men as Adam and Eve from the face of the Lord among the Trees in the Garden Answer for your selves and defend your cause let us hear But there is none that can speak for you neither can a rational man hear a word come from you If I look into your bosom there is meer lasciviousness and if I search among you for a pure heart there is none But if there be one with a pure heart he will not side with you And it is in vain to ask you questions because ye cannot answer me Lo ye are full of heat unto lasciviousness and listen after things which provoke unto it and you are tickled with it 16. Is it not so that your own soul within you whose immortality is among you generally denied blameth you before all and checketh you unto blushing and shame Because she in you as well as in us is alwayes remembring her pure and chast immortal flesh which she had before the eating of the fair fruit of the pleasant Tree And this shame ye can never shake off though you call on all your Atheistical and ungodly Whimsies to help you yet you can be as little without shame as ye can abstain from carnal Lust Take notice and be instructed ye simple ones 17. Now whereas the Disease of unchast Lust is come into the world that is into man-kind or humanegenerations through the eating of the fruit of the forbidden Tree it is clear and manifest that man is created of God pure and chast without feeling of any carnal lust-desire in himself and in his flesh and verily we must be of a pure heart if so be that as it is written we intend to see the face of God And as the Scripture testisieth in another place where it is said Except ye be converted and become as and like to little children ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of heaven 18. And whereas now from the first man to us through so many innumerable generations this unchast-Lust-disease is continually propagated the same at the present hath in such a manner penetrated tinctured and thoroughly leavened our flesh and blood that even as they say the Philosophers stone transmutes Mercury into Gold so that it doth not differ in the least from other Gold so now also our quondam chast and immortal flesh and blood through the tincture of
