Q. 1. How doth it appear that man is fallen?
A. By the Scripture History, an account of it in Gen. 3.6, 7. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves Aprons, and they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden, in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God, amongst the trees if the garden. And the sad experience we all have of it in our own selves. Rom. 5.12. Therefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
