A01210	The forbidden fruit· or A treatise of the tree of knovvledge of good & evill of which Adam at first, & as yet all mankind doe eate death. Moreover, how at this day it is forbidden to every one as well as to Adam; and how this tree, that is the wisedome of the serpent planted in Adam, is that great image, and that many headed beast, mentioned in Daniel and the Apocalyps, whom the whole world doth worship. Lastly, here is shewed what is the tree of life, contrary to the wisdome, righteousnesse, and knowledge of all mankind: with a description of the majestie and nature of Gods Word. By August: Eluthenius [sic]. Translated out of Latine into English.; De arbore scientiae boni et mali. English	Franck, Sebastian, 1499-1542.	1640 (1640)	STC 11324; ESTC S102619	62,776	198

god_n and_o these_o two_o tree_n be_v as_o god_n and_o satan_n so_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o that_o the_o one_o bring_v life_n unto_o we_o and_o the_o other_o death_n therefore_o he_o that_o

that_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o divine_a knowledge_n he_o can_v die_v neither_o sin_n for_o this_o fruit_n eat_v the_o eater_n of_o it_o and_o change_v he_o into_o its_o own_o nature_n into_o life_n as_o the_o scripture_n do_v testify_v of_o those_o that_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o eat_v

remain_v unshaken_a in_o adversity_n have_v his_o faith_n manifest_a and_o approve_a and_o find_v quietness_n to_o his_o soul_n indeed_o there_o be_v many_o art_n profitable_a to_o the_o body_n which_o god_n the_o belly_n have_v create_v and_o yet_o do_v daily_o find_v out_o which_o true_o bring_v much_o profit_n to_o the_o kitchen_n and_o only_o serve_v worship_n and_o obey_v their_o god_n the_o belly_n most_o zealous_o as_o it_o be_v expedient_a they_o shall_v but_o as_o the_o common_a proverb_n be_v that_o which_o be_v profitable_a to_o the_o body_n do_v often_o hurt_v the_o soul_n and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o belly_n and_o flesh_n as_o life_n food_n and_o plenty_n be_v often_o time_n the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o mere_a poison_n unto_o it_o because_o the_o

altogether_o vain_a famine_n and_o death_n unto_o the_o soul_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o only_a art_n the_o end_n whereof_o be_v not_o for_o god_n belly_n advantage_n which_o the_o whole_a

paul_n be_v

the_o word_n for_o the_o word_n have_v not_o only_o a_o knowledge_n but_o also_o a_o certain_a action_n it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o light_n and_o splendour_n in_o we_o give_v from_o above_o but_o also_o life_n the_o interior_a word_n contain_v both_o of_o these_o which_o sometime_o be_v call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n sometime_o the_o spirit_n sometime_o christ_n dwell_v in_o we_o for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o light_n way_n and_o guide_v but_o also_o spirit_n truth_n and_o life_n that_o be_v which_o not_o only_o teach_v man_n that_o he_o may_v understand_v but_o also_o move_v he_o that_o he_o work_v but_o the_o exterior_a word_n be_v far_o from_o this_o privilege_n and_o have_v far_o a_o different_a nature_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o certain_a form_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o interior_a i_o will_v not_o say_v a_o shadow_n therefore_o the_o interior_a word_n as_o it_o be_v the_o only_a lively_a so_o it_o be_v the_o only_a true_a word_n as_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o life_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o exterior_a be_v nothing_o but_o a_o kill_a letter_n and_o a_o deceitful_a figure_n of_o the_o word_n hence_o it_o arise_v the_o letter_n as_o christ_n become_v a_o certain_a snare_n to_o wicked_a man_n a_o stone_n of_o offence_n darkness_n not_o light_n death_n and_o not_o life_n therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o beside_o the_o exterior_a word_n the_o interior_a be_v seek_v after_o and_o know_v since_o the_o exterior_a deceive_v a_o man_n with_o its_o shape_n be_v death_n and_o darkness_n unless_o the_o light_n and_o life_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v together_o present_a with_o it_o moreover_o the_o exterior_a suffer_v a_o man_n to_o be_v sluggous_o and_o idle_a except_o the_o power_n of_o the_o interior_a be_v present_a with_o it_o therefore_o the_o interior_a word_n may_v be_v without_o the_o exterior_a as_o the_o exterior_a without_o the_o interior_a therefore_o it_o do_v not_o necessary_o follow_v that_o a_o man_n have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o he_o pretend_v and_o have_v the_o letter_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o follow_v not_o that_o he_o who_o want_v the_o exterior_a word_n or_o letter_n want_v also_o the_o interior_a true_a and_o heavenly_a word_n which_o be_v god_n himself_o for_o he_o do_v not_o always_o want_v the_o word_n who_o have_v not_o the_o letter_n for_o the_o letter_n do_v only_o give_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o be_v the_o word_n itself_o yea_o they_o be_v scarce_o the_o image_n of_o the_o live_a word_n much_o less_o be_v they_o it_o which_o neither_o can_v be_v write_v nor_o express_v by_o word_n both_o which_o be_v incident_a to_o the_o letter_n therefore_o the_o letter_n be_v far_o from_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o all_o the_o word_n though_o sometime_o they_o be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o the_o image_n and_o picture_n of_o a_o man_n be_v call_v sometime_o by_o his_o name_n even_o as_o

right_o the_o letter_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o as_o god_n be_v call_v man_n and_o the_o word_n flesh_n although_o to_o speak_v proper_o neither_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n change_v into_o letter_n nor_o god_n into_o man_n nor_o the_o word_n into_o flesh_n therefore_o both_o these_o may_v be_v true_a the_o letter_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o letter_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o although_o the_o letter_n be_v sometime_o in_o some_o respect_n the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o true_o be_v they_o not_o the_o sole_a nor_o altogether_o nor_o all_o the_o

of_o god_n may_v be_v make_v know_v by_o this_o that_o many_o thing_n beside_o the_o scripture_n be_v reveal_v and_o inspire_v unto_o many_o and_o many_o thing_n be_v speak_v and_o write_v by_o they_o which_o be_v not_o contain_v open_o in_o the_o letter_n yea_o which_o sometime_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o dead_a letter_n the_o prophet_n and_o moses_n and_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n who_o word_n seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o prophet_n what_o they_o have_v write_v of_o the_o temple_n the_o sacrifice_n circumcision_n and_o of_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n moreover_o the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n yea_o even_o before_o any_o scripture_n be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o and_o it_o will_v be_v hereafter_o when_o the_o scripture_n be_v perish_v therefore_o the_o word_n be_v improper_o in_o the_o letter_n and_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v improper_o call_v flesh_n or_o the_o letter_n for_o my_o word_n say_v christ_n be_v spirit_n and_o life_n therefore_o the_o word_n can_v be_v that_o word_n which_o be_v flesh_n or_o dead_a letter_n wherefore_o though_o the_o word_n true_o and_o indeed_o be_v only_o in_o spirit_n as_o in_o which_o it_o only_o live_v yet_o it_o be_v also_o in_o the_o flesh_n but_o yet_o weak_a if_o there_o it_o be_v alone_o without_o the_o spirit_n and_o life_n it_o be_v also_o in_o the_o letter_n but_o altogether_o dead_a unless_o the_o spirit_n do_v quicken_v it_o as_o the_o soul_n do_v the_o body_n and_o it_o be_v in_o both_o and_o yet_o not_o true_o and_o if_o true_o yet_o not_o all_o and_o only_o and_o lively_a now_o although_o the_o word_n be_v in_o the_o spirit_n lively_a and_o true_a yet_o after_o a_o more_o peculiar_a and_o excellent_a manner_n it_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n then_o in_o the_o letter_n although_o the_o spirit_n be_v present_a with_o the_o letter_n and_o lend_v a_o hand_n it_o teach_v nothing_o but_o when_o the_o spirit_n dwell_v with_o the_o flesh_n it_o not_o only_o teach_v but_o also_o make_v alive_a and_o burst_v out_o into_o work_n so_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n bring_v man_n to_o no_o perfection_n although_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o also_o the_o scripture_n speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n and_o write_v by_o his_o finger_n for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n do_v teach_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o precept_n but_o do_v not_o give_v man_n a_o will_n and_o strength_n to_o fulfil_v the_o same_o but_o the_o word_n which_o be_v make_v flesh_n give_v life_n to_o believer_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o flesh_n inspire_v with_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_n and_o do_v keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o word_n in_o the_o flesh_n do_v only_o give_v a_o example_n of_o life_n when_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o leave_v in_o the_o letter_n all_o thing_n idle_a and_o sleepy_a but_o in_o the_o spirit_n it_o true_o stir_v up_o the_o heart_n and_o affection_n towards_o the_o law_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o the_o word_n itself_o but_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o certain_a imitation_n of_o the_o word_n the_o letter_n a_o certain_a print_a picture_n and_o copy_n of_o the_o word_n wherefore_o the_o write_a word_n be_v not_o the_o true_a word_n but_o a_o certain_a image_n thereof_o yea_o the_o
