The matter, The Serpent said to the Woman, hath God indeed said, you shall not eat of every tree of the garden, in which he would make Eve either doubt of Gods Commandment, or else be discontent with it, as if he had dealt niggardly with them in not permitting them to eat of every tree, or as if the forbidding of this were as much as if he had prohibited them all the trees, intimating that this was as good as all the rest, and the not giving them this as much as the denial of all the rest. Then the Woman's answer, telling him that he had allowed them all the rest and forbidden this alone, and that on pain of death; then the Serpents reply, in which he contradicteth Gods ⟨p. 6⟩threat, that the Woman might not give credit unto it, for he tells Eve, that they should nor certainly die, yea not only so, but that God knew well enough how eating of that tree would procure to them an increase of knowledge, then the success of the Temptation is, that she believing the Serpent and conceiving that she should gain knowledge by the eating and considering the beauty and pleasantness of the fruit, did not alone eat of it her self, but also gave her husband, persuading him also to feed of it, which he at her persuasion did.
