But the Lord God walking in the mids of the garden in the coole of the day with a mighty voyce called first vnto the mā and sayd Adam where art thou Who aunsweared Lord I heard thy voyce and was afraid because I was naked and therefore hid I my selfe Wherein his hipocrisie appeared in that he hid from God the cause of his nakednes which was the transgression of Gods commandement And the Lord saide vnto Adam who told thee that thou wast naked hast thou eaten of the tree wherof I commanded that thou shouldest not eate in no case Then Adam said the woman which thou gauest to be with me she gaue me of the tree and I did eate Where note the wickednesse and lacke of true repentaunce in Adam in that he burdened God with his fault because he had geuen him a wife which entised him to offend Then the Lorde called the woman and saide vnto her why hast thou done this And the woman Heua also in stead of confessing her fault increased it by accusing the Serpent saying The Serpent beguiled me and I did eate Thus God hauing asked the reason of the man and the woman because he would bring them to some remorce and repentaunce for their sinne that he might haue mercie vpon them if they had had the grace to confesse their follies as like Hypocrites they posted it of from one to another woulde no longer stand reasoning or debating the matter so with the Serpent because he would shewe him no compassion at all but straight cursing and● condemning Sathan in the Serpent he saide vnto the Serpent because thou hast done this thou art cursed aboue all cattell and aboue euerye beast of the field vpon thy bellie shalt thou goe and as a vile and contemptible beast shalt thou eate dust and filth all the dayes of thy life I wil also put enmity betweene thee meaning Sathan by whose motion and craft the serpent deceiued the woman and the woman betweene thy seede and her seede He that is Christ shall breake thine head that is the power of sinne death And thou shalt bruse his heele that is Sathan shall sting Christ and his members but not ouercome them And to comfort Adam and Eue againe by the promise of the Gospell or the blessed seede as also to punish the body of woman for the sinne which the soule should haue smarted for that the spirite hauing conceyued hope of forgiuenesse might liue by faith in Christ therefore the Lorde sayde againe vnto Eua and in her to all women I will greatelie increase thy sorrowe and thy conceptions In sorrowe shalt thou bring foorth children and thy desire shal be subiect to thine husband and hee shall rule ouer thee Also to Adam GOD sayde because thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wife and eaten of the forbidden fruite cursed is the earth for thy sake in sorrow shalt thou eate of it all the daies of thy life Thornes also and thistles as vnnaturall fruites proceeding of the corruption of sinne shall it bring foorth vnto thee thou shalt eate the herbs of the field yea in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eate bread til thou returne to the earth for out of it wast thou taken because thou art dust to dust shalt thou returne Thus the transgression of Gods commandemēts in Adam and Eue was y e cause that both they all mankind in them together with all other creaturs were subiect to the curse of God And then GOD deriding as it were Adams miserie wherevnto hee was fallen by ambition to Adams greate reproche sayde beholde the man is become as one of vs to knowe good and euill And nowe least he should put foorth his hande and take also of the tree of life and eate and liue for euer therefore the Lorde God hauing first made coastes of skinnes to cloath both Adam and Eua or geuen them knowledge to make themselues garmentes to couer their nakednesse he sent them foorth and cast out man and woman from the garden of Eden to till the earth whence they were taken And at the East side of the garden of Eden hee sette an Angell or Cherubin with the blade of a swoorde shaken to keepe the way of the tree of life from Adam And thus Adam Eue nowe depriued of life soft also the signes thereof Afterward Adam chāged his wiues name and called her name Heua because she was the mother of all liuing who before was called woman mannes or Adam And Heua conceiued and bare Adam her husband three sonnes Cayn Abell and Seth and two daughters Calmana and Delbora by whom the worlde was first replenished When her first sonne Cayn was borne she greatly reioyced praised God for him and promised to offer him vnto the Lord as the first fruits of her byrth saying I haue obtayned a sonne to or by the Lorde And when after the death of Abel she cōceyued and bare another sonne she called his name Seth and praysed God also saying God hath appoynted me another seede for Abel whom his brother Cayn hath ●layne Gen. 2.3.4 Hodesh or Hodes signifieth a moneth a newelty She was one of the wiues of Shaharaim whō he tooke after he had put away his 2. other wiues Hushim Baara which Hodesh bare vnto him diuers sōnes y t became great mē in y e world as appereth 1.
