Q. How doth it agree with the goodness, or with the very Justice of God, to punish one so fearfully for eating of a little fruit?
Q. How doth it agree with the goodnesse, or with the very Iustice of God, to punish one so fearfully for eating of a little fruit?
A. Very well: for the sin was horrible and manifold, being first a 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.
