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

of_o the_o world_n good_a but_o in_o truth_n evil_a and_o wicked_a for_o what_o seem_v holy_a in_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n be_v profane_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n so_o there_o be_v a_o

know_v but_o by_o sense_n and_o experience_n neither_o can_v they_o be_v teach_v by_o or_o learn_v from_o other_o as_o for_o example_n no_o man_n can_v teach_v another_o to_o see_v hear_v taste_n and_o touch_v in_o like_o manner_n and_o much_o less_o can_v any_o man_n teach_v another_o to_o believe_v love_n hope_v repent_v so_o that_o divine_a truth_n and_o theology_n may_v rather_o be_v say_v to_o be_v experience_n then_o art_n no_o man_n can_v learn_v of_o himself_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n love_v of_o god_n faith_n and_o such_o like_a because_o the_o natural_a man_n can_v perceive_v

tree_n of_o life_n be_v plant_v by_o the_o tree_n of_o death_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o adam_n from_o these_o two_o seed_n and_o tree_n so_o different_a do_v spring_n different_a fruit_n so_o as_o

for_o ever_o this_o the_o whole_a history_n of_o the_o bible_n remain_v in_o force_n at_o this_o day_n and_o from_o hence_o arise_v a_o certain_a art_n and_o curiosity_n inquire_v and_o search_v out_o

and_o yet_o neither_o know_v nor_o understand_v therefore_o we_o confess_v that_o the_o letter_n be_v a_o certain_a image_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o word_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o true_o the_o very_a word_n because_o they_o be_v but_o only_o a_o image_n and_o figure_n thereof_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o we_o admit_v no_o other_o word_n but_o what_o be_v answerable_a to_o this_o image_n or_o example_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o the_o true_a and_o spiritual_a sense_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n be_v as_o the_o index_n or_o golden_a scale_n of_o the_o word_n so_o they_o be_v understand_v not_o according_a to_o the_o dead_a letter_n but_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o will_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o we_o reject_v not_o what_o be_v

therefore_o we_o deny_v not_o the_o exterior_a word_n write_v or_o speak_v so_o do_v we_o confirm_v the_o interior_a or_o live_a so_o it_o be_v we_o grant_v the_o mastery_n and_o unction_n of_o the_o

all_o prophecy_n vision_n dream_n unction_n inward_a speak_n doctrine_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o revelation_n if_o they_o be_v from_o god_n also_o whatsoever_o holy_a man_n by_o the_o instinct_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v either_o speak_v or_o do_v therefore_o no_o man_n must_v adhere_v peremptory_o to_o the_o only_a letter_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n and_o the_o
