Q. What have you been taught concerning the Government of God, as it respects the time before our first Parents sinned?
A. Concerning God's Government as relating to the time before our first Parents sinned, I am taught some general things; namely, That they had for the place of their abode, the Garden of Eden, which the Man was to dress and keep; that they had given to them for Meat, every Herb, and the Fruit of all Trees, except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which God forbade them to eat of: Also that they both transgressed this Commandment; the Woman first, being seduced by the Serpent, the Devil; then the Man, whom his Wife drew ⟨p. 60⟩to eat of the forbidden Fruit. Gen. 1. & 2. & 3. Chapters. 1 Tim. 2.14. 2 Cor. 11.3.
