1This was their first sin, upon this followed divers other sins, viz. their running away from God, and hiding themselves among the trees, as if it had been possible for them so to have escaped his sight, and then excusing their fault, he by laying the fault partly on Eve which gave him, and partly upon God which gave her to him, and she upon the Serpent which had seduced and beguiled her. So they had done evil and sought to hide their sin instead of confessing it and humbling themselves, for so sin blinds the mind, hardens the heart, drives a man from God and sets all the mind out of frame, estranging the soul from God and causing a man to be filled with slavish fear that makes him fly from his presence. This sin brought terror of conscience, from whence of necessity followed sinfulness and mortality. This is their bad carriage.
