Now after their sin God bestowed divers benefits on them.1 The chief was the promise of a Saviour, viz. The seed of the Woman to tread on the Serpents head, that is, to destroy the Devil, and the works of the Devil, and to deliver them from the mischief which Satan sought to bring upon them. By which words he did make the Covenant of grace with them and their Posterity, providing a remedy equal to the disease, and the means of revealing it to all, in that be manifested it to them that they might teach it to their children, and so one to another till all knew it, and then making them Breeches and continuing their life, and granting them children. These be the benefits.

This is their life, their death follows.
