He says, the parley betwixt the Woman and the Serpent intimates as much; for both the Serpent's demand, and the Woman's reply speak plainly that as yet they had not tasted the sweets of Paradise: Hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every Tree of the Garden? the Serpent had not been so subtle to ask whether that might be done which had been done already. Besides, we may conclude that, had not the Serpent immediately set upon the Woman, his Craftiness had not been so great; and Adam hearing of a Tree of Life, we may suppose would have first tasted of that; and Satan it may be fearing the Effects of it, immediately set upon the Woman.
