'Tis disputed what was the original of original sin, and the doubt lieth between two, whether unbelief or pride had the precedency in mans fall, (a question much like that, whether faith or repentance hath the precedency in his rising) I shall only state it thus; that which appeared first was unbelief; the woman put a peradventure upon the threatening of God in case of eating the forbidden fruit.
