Q. Was this so great a sin to eat of the forbidden fruit?
A. Yes, exceeding great, this Tree being a Sacrament of the Covenant; also he had a special charge not to eat of it: and in it the whole man did strike against the whole Law, even when God had so highly advanced him.
Q. What are the causes of this transgression?
A. The blameless cause was the Law of God. Rom. 5. 13. And hence as the Law did it, so God did it, holily, justly, and blamelessly. Rom. 7. 10, 1•, 12.
