Now when all the complaint was made upon the serpent, the Lord asketh and1 examineth the Serpent nothing at all, for the deed was open, nether was the serpent created of God to speak, and with the devil was there no trueth. Therefore doth the Lord righteously curse •h• serpent the devil. Unto the bodily serpent also whom the devil used as an instrument) he giveth a sore curse and sayeth▪ Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. When this ⟨image 16⟩was done, it was ordained now first for man, that / according to the righteousness and trueth of God he should be punished also with the curse and with eternal death but for the causes expressed in the beginning of this chapter, the curse was directed unto Christ: who also, with clear words was promised, and so was life in him promised likewise.
