sin_n the_o sin_n of_o a_o prince_n great_a than_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o vulgar_a person_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o law_n there_o be_v a_o great_a sacrifice_n to_o be_v offer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o priest_n then_o of_o the_o people_n the_o three_o circumstance_n aggravate_v his_o sin_n be_v the_o easiness_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o easiness_n man_n have_v to_o keep_v the_o same_o both_o in_o regard_n of_o himself_o who_o no_o itch_a concupiscence_n urge_v as_o be_v altogether_o free_a therefrom_o and_o not_o as_o we_o his_o offspring_n be_v continual_o

the_o four_o circumstance_n aggravate_v this_o sin_n be_v the_o place_n which_o be_v paradise_n as_o it_o be_v in_o god_n own_o presence_n even_o afore_o his_o face_n for_o as_o heaven_n above_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o place_n of_o god_n special_a presence_n so_o be_v paradise_n above_o other_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v a_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n the_o place_n wherein_o he_o singular_o reveal_v himself_o and_o therefore_o a_o holy_a place_n and_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n do_v not_o man_n otherwise_o give_v the_o loose_a rein_n to_o wickedness_n yet_o abhor_v to_o commit_v it_o in_o god_n temple_n how_o impudent_o contumelious_a be_v this_o sin_n therefore_o which_o be_v commit_v in_o god_n very_a presence-chamber_n all_o these_o aggravation_n be_v common_a to_o both_o our_o parent_n which_o all_o lay_v together_o make_v their_o sin_n as_o great_a as_o ever_o any_o be_v save_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o so_o the_o best_a divine_n do_v think_v but_o eve_n add_v one_o aggravation_n more_o to_o her_o weight_n in_o that_o she_o be_v not_o content_a to_o sin_v herself_o alone_o but_o she_o allure_v and_o draw_v her_o husband_n also_o into_o the_o like_a horrible_a transgression_n with_o she_o whereby_o she_o be_v not_o only_o guilty_a of_o her_o own_o personal_a sin_n but_o of_o her_o husband_n also_o and_o this_o add_v so_o much_o unto_o her_o former_a sum_n that_o s._n paul_n 1_o tim._n 2._o 14._o speak_v of_o she_o as_o if_o she_o have_v be_v the_o only_a transgressor_n adam_n be_v not_o

another_o sin_n woe_n be_v unto_o they_o who_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o another_o fall_n and_o just_o may_v god_n say_v to_o eve_n for_o this_o respect_n though_o there_o have_v be_v no_o more_o what_o be_v this_o that_o thou_o have_v do_v now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o woman_n excuse_n the_o serpent_n beguile_v i_o in_o which_o word_n be_v three_o thing_n considerable_a the_o author_n the_o serpent_n the_o action_n guile_n the_o object_n me._n concern_v the_o author_n the_o serpent_n two_o thing_n be_v inquirable_a first_o what_o the_o serpent_n be_v indeed_o second_o what_o eve_n suppose_v he_o to_o be_v for_o the_o first_o i_o think_v none_o so_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o unreasonable_a and_o brute_n serpent_n for_o whence_o shall_v he_o learn_v or_o how_o shall_v he_o understand_v god_n commandment_n to_o our_o first_o parent_n or_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a a_o serpent_n shall_v speak_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o speak_v the_o language_n which_o eve_n understand_v for_o though_o some_o there_o be_v who_o think_v that_o beast_n and_o bird_n have_v some_o speech-like_a uttering_n of_o themselves_o yet_o none_o that_o a_o beast_n shall_v speak_v the_o language_n of_o man_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o according_a unto_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v that_o old_a deceiver_n the_o devil_n and_o satan_n who_o abuse_v the_o brute_n serpent_n either_o by_o enter_v into_o he_o or_o take_v his_o shape_n upon_o he_o the_o last_o of_o which_o i_o rather_o incline_v unto_o suppose_v it_o as_o you_o shall_v hear_v present_o to_o be_v the_o law_n of_o spirit_n when_o they_o have_v intercourse_n or_o commerce_n with_o man_n to_o take_v some_o visible_a shape_n upon_o they_o as_o the_o devil_n here_o the_o serpent_n whence_o he_o become_v style_v in_o scripture_n the_o old_a serpent_n now_o for_o the_o second_o question_n what_o eve_n take_v he_o to_o be_v whether_o the_o serpent_n or_o satan_n if_o we_o say_v she_o think_v he_o to_o be_v the_o brute_n serpent_n how_o will_v this_o stand_v with_o the_o perfection_n of_o man_n knowledge_n in_o his_o integrity_n to_o think_v a_o serpent_n can_v speak_v like_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n who_o will_v not_o judge_v she_o a_o silly_a woman_n now_o that_o shall_v think_v so_o and_o yet_o the_o wise_a of_o we_o all_o be_v far_o short_a of_o eve_n in_o regard_n of_o her_o knowledge_n then_o again_o if_o we_o say_v she_o know_v he_o to_o be_v the_o devil_n i_o will_v not_o ask_v why_o she_o will_v converse_v at_o all_o with_o a_o wicked_a spirit_n who_o she_o know_v have_v fall_v from_o his_o maker_n but_o i_o will_v know_v how_o we_o shall_v construe_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v the_o serpent_n be_v the_o subtle_a of_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n which_o god_n have_v make_v and_o so_o imply_v the_o woman_n opinion_n of_o the_o serpent_n wisdom_n be_v the_o occasion_n why_o she_o be_v so_o beguile_v otherwise_o to_o what_o end_n be_v those_o word_n speak_v unless_o to_o show_v that_o satan_n choose_v the_o serpent_n shape_n that_o through_o the_o opinion_n and_o colour_n of_o his_o well-known_a wisdom_n and_o sagacity_n he_o may_v beguile_v the_o woman_n for_o the_o assoil_n of_o which_o difficulty_n i_o offer_v these_o proposition_n follow_v first_o i_o will_v suppose_v there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o the_o commerce_n of_o spirit_n and_o man_n that_o a_o spirit_n must_v present_v himself_o under_o the_o shape_n of_o some_o visible_a thing_n for_o as_o in_o natural_a and_o bodily_a thing_n there_o be_v no_o intercourse_n of_o action_n and_o passion_n unless_o the_o thing_n have_v some_o proportion_n each_o to_o other_o and_o unless_o they_o communicate_v in_o some_o common_a matter_n so_o it_o seem_v god_n have_v ordain_v a_o law_n that_o invisible_a thing_n shall_v converse_v with_o thing_n visible_a in_o a_o shape_n as_o they_o be_v visible_a which_o be_v so_o true_a that_o the_o converse_v presence_n of_o a_o spirit_n be_v call_v a_o vision_n or_o apparition_n and_o experience_n with_o the_o scripture_n will_v show_v we_o that_o not_o only_o evil_a angel_n but_o good_a yea_o god_n himself_o converse_v in_o this_o manner_n with_o man_n and_o all_o this_o i_o suppose_v eve_n know_v second_o i_o suppose_v further_o that_o as_o spirit_n be_v to_o converse_v with_o man_n under_o some_o visible_a shape_n so_o be_v there_o a_o law_n give_v they_o that_o it_o must_v be_v under_o the_o shape_n of_o some_o such_o thing_n as_o may_v less_a or_o more_o resemble_v their_o condition_n for_o as_o in_o nature_n we_o see_v every_o several_a thing_n have_v a_o several_a and_o suitable_a physiognomy_n or_o figure_n as_o a_o badge_n of_o the_o inward_a nature_n whereby_o it_o be_v know_v as_o by_o a_o habit_n of_o distinction_n so_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o shape_n and_o apparition_n of_o spirit_n and_o as_o in_o a_o well_o govern_v commonwealth_n every_o sort_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n be_v know_v by_o some_o differ_a habit_n agreeable_a to_o his_o quality_n so_o it_o seem_v it_o shall_v be_v in_o god_n great_a commonwealth_n concern_v the_o shape_n which_o spirit_n take_v upon_o they_o and_o he_o that_o give_v the_o law_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o wear_v the_o habit_n of_o a_o woman_n nor_o a_o woman_n the_o habit_n of_o a_o man_n because_o as_o he_o have_v make_v they_o divers_a so_o will_v he_o have_v they_o so_o know_v by_o their_o habit_n so_o it_o seem_v he_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o good_a and_o a_o bad_a spirit_n a_o noble_a and_o ignoble_a one_o

that_o as_o though_o he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o come_v at_o all_o if_o we_o look_v back_o into_o the_o story_n we_o shall_v yet_o find_v a_o further_a confirmation_n thereof_o how_o long_o do_v god_n

she_o have_v at_o the_o first_o onset_n of_o her_o conference_n with_o the_o serpent_n sin_v a_o sin_n of_o unbeleef_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o god_n spare_v she_o in_o the_o progress_n she_o sin_v
