But woe be to Satan for hee lyeth now trembling and flat before the Lord and the wicked flie from before his presence Reuel 6 15.16 desiring to haue their habitation amongst the Rockes crying out vnto the Mountaines and Hilles that they would fall vpon them and couer them and hide them if it were possible from the sight of God that they might neuer come to iudgement for their sinnes but as they haue contemned God in their life so he will condemne them in their death neuer to be redeemed but tormented with the Diuell and his Angels in Hell fire for euermore And as touching Satans fiction or feigning of mans high Felicitie aboue their created estate he much deceiued and abused Eue Mans estate before his fall For it is plaine euident of what matter man was made of Gen. 1.7 Of the Dust By whom he was made by God in what maner he was made God breathed in his face breath of life and the Man was a liuing soule that is an Eternall creature not subiect to death by Creation but by his disobedient action against God in what place he was put vers 8. not in the wide Field but in a pleasant Paradise the Garden of Eden what Companion he had vers 18. not any creature inferiour to himselfe but one whom God made and tooke out of Man Gen. 2.21.23 therefore called Woman bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh that there might be a continuall harmonie and simphathy in perfect loue and vnitie betweene them to their endlesse comfortes and so God called them Man Wife vers 24. This was the estate of Man and Woman happie and most excellent But after their fall Mans estate after his fall their condition was changed from peace and glory Gen. 3.7 to feare and shame from ioy and pleasure 16.17.19 to sorrow and labour and instead of comfort in each other they greiued and accused one an other vers 12. Adam indeed in his first estate was like a greene Oliue tree fat and fruitfull Iudg. 9.9 but when Sinne and Pride entered into his heart hee was like a Bramble enuious and aspyring vers 15. the Water of life did nourish the one and the Fire of Gods wrath had not Christ quenched it by his Blood had consumed the other 1. Kin. 13.11 vnto ver 25. For as the man of God beleeued the olde lying Prophet so Adam and Eue beleeued the old lying Serpent for the which they were slaine by a Lion but not torne in peeces but in mercie preserued for a glorious resurrection Thus was Man happie vnhappie and againe happie onely made happie through Iesus Christ our Lord. 2. Kin. 13.20.21 For as the body of the dead man which was cast into the Sepulchre of Elisha by touching the bones of Elisha was reuiued stood vpon his feete So Adam being dead and slaine by that roaring Lion Satan hee was made aliue in Christ 1. Cor. 15.22 whom by Fayth in the Promise he apprehended and applyed to himselfe as his onely Sauiour Ephes 1.7 by whom wee haue redemption through his blood euen the forgiuenesse of sinnes according to his rich grace and loue and 2.4 5 6. whereby he hath quickned vs and raised vs vp vnto eternall life And therefore let euery one by the example of our Parents Adam and Eue Selfe-liking dangerous beware of selfe-liking and flattering conceit which is the wild-fire of Satan to blow vs vp on hie that we might fall downe into the bottomlesse pit beneath Luk. 14.11 for euery one that wil exalt himselfe shall be brought low and he that humbleth him selfe shall be exalted SECT 4. ANd as touching the Womans Consent to the Serpents Perswasion in it are to be considered foure principall thinges Her Reuolution or pondering vpon the temptation Her outward Perspection of the beautie of the Fruite Her inward Inspection of the qualitie thereof And her setled Resolution to take and eate thereof Concerning the Reuolution As in all naturall vitall things no thing is sodainly perfected but there must be first Conception then Nutritiō then Concrescion No man sodainly vitious then Perfection So in the Spirituall consent of the minde to acte and performe any thing there is required first a Motion then Attention then Perswasion then Deliberation then Consent then Action And this course was obserued by the tempter the Diuel and by Eue the tempted For Satan made the Motion vnto her saying Gen. 3.1 Hath God in deed said yee shal not eate Eue listned and gaue eare aunswering If we eate we die vers 3.
