Here you may see the first author and founder of rebellion, and the reward thereof, here 1you may see the grand captain and father of all rebels, who persuading the following of his rebellion against GOD their creator and Lord, unto our first parents Adam and Eve, ⟨p. 546⟩brought them in high displeasure with GOD, wrought their exile and vanishment out of paradise, a place of all pleasure and goodness, into this wretched earth and vale of all misery, procured unto them sorrows of their minds, mischiefs, sickness, diseases, death of their bodies, and which is far more horrible then all worldly and bodily mischiefs, he had wrought thereby their eternal and everlasting death and damnation, had not GOD by the obedience 2of his son Jesus Christ repaired that, which man by disobedience and rebellion had destroyed, and so of his mercy, had pardoned and forgiven him: of which all and singular the premises, the holy scriptures do bear record in sundry places.
