1.*She was last in Creation: Adam was first formed, then Eve.
- *Hierom.
2. First in defection, v. 14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, was in the transgression. The fall of man was the fruit of the Woman's first Doctrine, and therefore she is not suffered to teach any more; the Woman was deceived by the Serpent, and so drew her Husband, and whole Posterity, into ruin. Some of the Papists bring this place as an Argument against Women's reading the Scripture; but no reason can conclude it from this place. How can the Spirit of God prohibit their reading the Scripture in private, and the instruction of their Families, since Women are among those who are commended for reading the Scripture?
