Wherefore it was in the hand of his counsel to ear, or not to eat: God declared unto him his will, plainly charging him that he should not eat; and adding the peril, he did withdraw him from eating, lest perhaps thou die. Satan also (as neither could he) did not use any force, but did probably move him unto it, and at length did overcome him: for when the will of the woman declined to the word of the Devil, her mind departed from the word of God, and rejecting a good law, she committeth an evil work. Afterwards she drew on her husband, willingly following her, to be partaker of her sin. That doth the Scripture inculcate in these words:1 So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for meat, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to get knowledge) took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her, and he did eat. Here have you the beginning of evil, the Devil, and that which moved the Will of man, that is, the false commendation of the Devil; and even as a mere lye, and the delectable show and sightliness of the tree: Wherefore Adam and Eve do of their own accord that which they do, being led with a hope of more excellent wisdom, which the Seducer had lyingly promised them.
