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

word_n of_o god_n which_o in_o itself_o be_v perpetual_a and_o semperternall_a can_v neither_o be_v write_v in_o letter_n nor_o express_v in_o word_n endure_v for_o ever_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o

not_o proper_o god_n and_o his_o word_n now_o no_o man_n can_v speak_v or_o utter_v this_o word_n therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o speak_v itself_o in_o a_o obedient_a and_o willing_a heart_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v require_v of_o every_o man_n that_o he_o submit_v himself_o under_o the_o potent_a hand_n of_o god_n void_a of_o his_o own_o will_n free_a and_o clear_a

fear_v and_o adore_v itself_o this_o alone_a be_v the_o art_n of_o god_n which_o he_o himself_o do_v teach_v in_o we_o without_o this_o all_o other_o art_n be_v nothing_o for_o beside_o this_o to_o

in_o word_n yea_o it_o can_v be_v express_v or_o declare_v in_o word_n therefore_o no_o man_n can_v teach_v the_o same_o to_o a_o other_o but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v and_o manifest_v by_o god_n to_o the_o teach_n of_o which_o whosoever_o be_v send_v they_o be_v not_o doctor_n or_o master_n but_o only_a witness_n of_o that_o word_n which_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o god_n be_v before_o in_o

may_v be_v refer_v all_o the_o name_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v to_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v all_o one_o and_o refer_v unto_o one_o
