Very well: for the sin was horrible, first, by doubting of the truth of God. Secondly, a crediting of the word of Gods enemy and theirs. Thirdly, a charge against God that he envied their good estate. Fourthly, intolerable pride and ambition, in desiring to be equal in knowledge to God himself. Last of all, (which much aggravateth the sin) for that the commandment he brake was so easy to be kept, as to abstain from one only fruit in so great plenty and variety.

I observe further out of this verse and out of the two next,1 that in the middest of Gods anger he remembereth mercy: for it is a benefit to Adam that he may live of the sweat of his brows: To Eve, that she should bring forth, and not be in continual travel: unto them both, that he taught them wisdom to make leather coats.
