Dream at least to live for ever Shews our Author did not understand the Tree of Life capable of making Adam live Eternally without Removal into the Heavenly Regions Rupertus believed this wonderful Fruit endued with a Power able to have made Adam Immortal if he had once tasted of it and that Satan and he were both ignorant that there was such a Preservative Plant in God's Garden for had the Devil known it as he made him miserable by Eating of the forbidden Tree so he would have endeavoured to have made that Misery perpetual by perswading him to have eaten of the Tree of Life Si enim vel ille scisset nunquam consilium suae malignitatis ita dimidiasset sed sicut illud lignum temerare persuasit ut miseros faceret sic istud praeripere suasisset ut aeternaliter miseros misere aeternos efficeret Com. in Gen. c. 30. l. 3.
