And further Paul saith,1 that by bearing of children, if she continue* in faith & patience, she shall be saved: as though one curse were turned into two blessings. For first, she shall have children, and after, she shall have salvation. What a merciful God have we, whose curses are blessings?3 So he loved our Parents, when he punished them, that he could scarce punish them for love, and therefore a comfort was folded in his judgement.
And further Paul saith,1 that by bearing of children, if she continue* in faith & patience, she shall be saued: as though one curse were turned into two blessings. For first, she shall haue children, and after, she shall haue saluation. What a mercifull God haue we, whose curses are blessings?3 So he loued our Parents, when he punished them, that he could scarce punish them for loue, and therfore a comfort was folded in his iudgement.
