The miseries they felt were pronouncing a curse upon them,1 adjudging them to an inavoidable necessity of natural death, to much sorrow in their life, he by tilling the ground (which should bring forth ill things to him) and that with sweat and labour, and she by bearing children in sorrow, and by being compelled by subjection to her husband; then by casting them out of Paradise, debarring them the tree of life, and giving Cain over to kill his Brother better then himself, which must needs be an heavy cross to them, which God did somewhat mitigate by giving them another godly son, even Seth. This is their life, their death follows.

Adam lived 900. years, and for Eves death,1 it is not mentioned how long she lived,2 for God hath not thought it fit to tell us the length of the life of any woman except Sarah in Scripture: upon what consideration it is hard to guess, but sure it is to humble womankind, that because they were first in bringing in death, deserved not to have the continuance of their lives, recorded by Gods pen. So have I briefly run over the first man and the first woman. And now I will make use of all.
