are into which he would not have you come that 's his own he would not have you as himself as he is and therefore he forbids you he tells you of death to skare and fright you least by eating of the Fruit of that Tree c. touching it you should be as it is with him and have no secret hid from you True it is you will by eating of it die to the state in which you are viz. a Creaturely dependency upon him a capability of changing but then you will live to another which is more high which changeth not which God doth not and this is that which he would keep ye from Yea hath God said ye shall not eat of every Tree in the Garden And the woman said unto the Serpent We may eat of the Fruit of the Trees of the Garden but of the Fruit of the Tree which is in the midst of the Garden God hath said Ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye toutch it least ye die And the Serpent said unto the woman Ye shall not surely die for God doth know that in the day that ye eat thereof then your eys shall be opened ye shal come to see this sec●et it was a mischievous seeing indeed which is not off her Posterity to this day and ye shall be as Gods knowing both good and evil Here was the eating of the forbidden fruit the temptation of the Serpent and the great encounter the woman had by which she fell she reach't at this the Serpent was too hard for her whilst she was from her Life from that in the which she was made which witnessed in her he entred her and so his Spirit lead and guided her to do that which was contrary to the Lord as he had done and not the good Spirit of the Lord and so she steer'd another course as she saw with another eye and came to be deceived And when the woman saw that the Tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a Tree to be desired to make one wise she took of the Fruit thereof and did eat and gave also unto her Husband with her and he did eat and the eyes of them both were opened a sore opening indeed see how she was deceived but how were they opened and what did they see Did they see as Gods Came they to a more permanent state to a state that changed not to be as Gods to have no secret hid from them as the Serpent suggested and by such temptations as these had drawn them to eat nay they knew that they were naked stript off their covering Innocency was lost in them a sad condition they were now in and they knew it their eves were opened and they saw this a most unhappy sight which as I have said is not off their Posterity to this day this was that the Serpent lead them to in the end and this they came to see and their eyes were opened to see this to know this to know that they were naked and they sewed Fig leaves together a miserable shift who were cloathed with the Spirit of God with his Image in the which they were made which now they had lost which now they had slain the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world as hath been said and see what a garment they had got what a covering in what a pittiful condition they were in who had Rule over the Creation and Dominion was given them over it they take of the poorest of the Creation a company of fig leaves poor thin inconsiderable things indeed for a covering who were cloathed with the Lord and whom he spread over and filled and replenished of whom he was the Root and made themselves Aprons And thus Adam was not deceived the man that was first formed into whom God breathed the Breath of Life and man became a living Soul the first man Adam was made a living Soul but the woman that was took out of man that proceeded from man that the man was not Created for the woman that is of the man as the man is by the woman being deceived was in the Transgression 1 Tim. 2. 13 14. He that readeth as I have said let him understand And thus the Serpent beguiled Eve as the Apostle speaks But I fear said ho least by any means this was to them whom he had espoused to one Husband that he might present them as a chast Virgin to Christ of which he speaks in the verse before as the Serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ 2 Cor. 11. 2 3. And this was his temptation and this was that which the Woman catcht after who was made in the Image of God viz. A pretended state beyond that in which she was made and this was the end and this came of it which as I have said her Posterity is not clear off to this day and this is the particular thing of the Ranters and the temptation wherewith they are carried Who hold that there is no such thing as evil in it self or devil but to mans apprehension and that the sence of evil is but the weakness of man and that they are at a distance from God who are under fear and that all things are Gods And that this is but a slavish spirit to stand in fear and dread and that all things are good and that to fear and dread is on this side Perfection and that to do the greatest evil with the least remorse is to be nearest Perfection Which is to know good and evil Which is to touch and to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil that is in the midst of the Garden which God hath forbidden to be tasted of or touch't which Eve eating and touching came thereby to fall and her Posterity to this day which in plain English is to be out of command out of subjection out of the state of the Creature and to be as God out of a true dependency on God out of a possibility of change for if there be no state of obedience there is no state of a dependency do they what they will they shall never be otherwise and so be reaching at that which they can never come to by reaching after which they come to fall as did Eve who thus reached but fell and it is not yet recovered and as did the Devil himself and is fallen for ever and there endeavours to bring and keep man even in a disobedient state of rebellion against God as that which is most suitable to man in which God is himself That is to say without Law to himself or from any other Whether the Devil as I have said climbed himself but fell and would bring man thither And this is the summe of this matter the state of the Ranters which the Lord hath thus opened in me for their sakes to let them understand and to
