say_v god_n have_v not_o forbid_v they_o bold_o and_o crafty_o he_o call_v it_o into_o question_n as_o if_o he_o will_v make_v a_o doubt_n of_o it_o yea_o have_v god_n say_v you_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o every_o tree_n in_o the_o garden_n to_o which_o when_o she_o have_v answer_v that_o they_o may_v eat_v of_o all_o save_o one_o but_o not_o of_o that_o one_o lest_o they_o die_v he_o deny_v not_o the_o first_o part_n of_o her_o answer_n which_o concern_v god_n prohibition_n of_o one_o tree_n know_v that_o she_o know_v the_o contrary_a as_o well_o as_o himself_o he_o reply_v therefore_o only_o to_o the_o last_o part_n of_o her_o answer_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o die_v at_o all_o but_o because_o this_o his_o reply_n be_v a_o untruth_n lest_o she_o shall_v as_o be_v most_o likely_a examine_v with_o herself_o he_o give_v she_o not_o the_o respite_n to_o collect_v herself_o but_o to_o make_v she_o forget_v that_o present_o add_v that_o in_o the_o day_n they_o eat_v thereof_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a which_o be_v too_o true_a and_o god_n testify_v the_o same_o gen._n 3.22_o observe_v than_o you_o may_v the_o method_n of_o his_o cunning_n first_o he_o bring_v but_o a_o imperfect_a truth_n then_o a_o absolute_a untruth_n and_o last_o a_o absolute_a truth_n thus_o wrap_v up_o the_o poison_n of_o a_o lie_n like_o a_o sugar_v pill_n in_o the_o pleasantness_n of_o truth_n farther_o observe_v that_o he_o overcome_v her_o faith_n by_o overcome_v her_o fear_n and_o overcome_v her_o fear_n by_o the_o contrary_a passion_n hope_n for_o such_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o temptation_n when_o he_o have_v make_v she_o forget_v fear_n by_o hope_n and_o see_v the_o tree_n to_o be_v good_a for_o food_n and_o pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n nay_o such_o a_o tree_n as_o can_v make_v one_o wise_a she_o take_v of_o the_o fruit_n and_o eat_v and_o make_v her_o husband_n eat_v also_o such_o be_v the_o

or_o rather_o only_o of_o evil_n since_o better_a knowledge_n they_o have_v of_o good_a fore_o yet_o the_o wisdom_n they_o now_o get_v come_v far_o short_a of_o that_o wisdom_n by_o which_o they_o be_v overcome_v nay_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o devil_n know_v they_o shall_v by_o their_o fall_n obtain_v but_o a_o wretched_a wisdom_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o upon_o even_a term_n he_o shall_v be_v able_a at_o any_o time_n to_o overcome_v this_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o serpent_n a_o a_o wisdom_n almost_o in_o every_o part_n yet_o may_v you_o see_v subtlety_n also_o in_o his_o

may_v see_v a_o subtlety_n in_o his_o honour_n which_o doubtless_o for_o his_o wisdom_n have_v in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o heathen_a world_n be_v give_v unto_o he_o he_o have_v be_v honour_v by_o

be_v honour_v by_o the_o most_o witty_a nation_n do_v not_o the_o athenian_n the_o master_n of_o wisdom_n worship_v a_o live_a serpent_n make_v it_o the_o keeper_n of_o their_o tower_n and_o offer_v monthly_a sacrifice_n to_o it_o as_o to_o a_o god_n all_o which_o variety_n of_o idolatry_n must_v we_o not_o judge_n to_o be_v the_o relic_n of_o that_o subjection_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o old_a serpent_n into_o which_o mankind_n fall_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n but_o still_o you_o see_v the_o win_a subtlety_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o therefore_o easy_o now_o may_v you_o understand_v the_o supreme_a wisdom_n of_o our_o saviour_n precept_n be_v you_o wise_a as_o serpent_n unto_o which_o wisdom_n while_o he_o exhort_v we_o behold_v he_o as_o a_o true_a instructor_n begin_v the_o practice_n a_o principal_a point_n of_o wisdom_n it_o be_v to_o learn_v wisdom_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o a_o singular_a instruction_n be_v this_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o overcome_v the_o serpent_n by_o imitate_v the_o serpent_n to_o overthrow_v his_o cunning_n by_o his_o own_o cunning_a this_o be_v like_o the_o remedy_n find_v in_o the_o serpent_n against_o his_o own_o poison_n some_o physician_n esteem_v it_o as_o a_o special_a cure_n against_o the_o bite_n of_o a_o serpent_n to_o put_v the_o entrail_n of_o a_o serpent_n into_o the_o wound_n the_o poison_n likewise_o of_o the_o viper_n as_o some_o tell_v we_o be_v help_v by_o the_o liver_n of_o a_o viper_n so_o the_o venom_n of_o the_o scorpion_n in_o hot_a country_n where_o they_o be_v troublesome_a be_v speedy_o cure_v by_o the_o oil_n of_o the_o scorpion_n now_o this_o precept_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v such_o as_o most_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o put_v in_o practice_n in_o which_o that_o they_o may_v not_o err_v they_o must_v remember_v to_o take_v also_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o precept_n with_o they_o lest_o otherwise_o while_o they_o think_v to_o become_v wise_a they_o become_v guilty_a like_o our_o first_o parent_n in_o eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n it_o be_v observe_v of_o he_o diversit_v of_o physic_n that_o galen_n be_v the_o safe_a but_o slow_a in_o operation_n but_o that_o of_o paracelsus_n which_o deal_v much_o in_o mineral_n be_v much_o more_o powerful_a but_o more_o dangerous_a so_o that_o the_o skill_n in_o the_o paracelsian_a be_v to_o know_v how_o exact_o to_o allay_v his_o physic_n by_o a_o judicious_a preparation_n &_o due_a chastize_v the_o virulency_n of_o the_o ingredient_n now_o this_o precept_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v such_o paracelsian_a physic_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o serpent_n be_v a_o subtle_a ingredient_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n as_o a_o true_a artist_n do_v most_o wise_o moderate_v it_o with_o the_o innocency_n of_o the_o dove_n before_o therefore_o we_o see_v how_o by_o example_n we_o shall_v be_v as_o wise_a as_o serpent_n we_o will_v as_o our_o saviour_n do_v join_v also_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o precept_n and_o first_o remember_v you_o that_o you_o must_v also_o be_v harmless_a as_o dove_n and_o harmless_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d innocent_a simple_a it_o be_v worth_a the_o observe_n that_o the_o roman_a church_n when_o it_o intend_v to_o canonize_v any_o one_o for_o a_o saint_n command_v that_o there_o be_v especial_a inquiry_n make_v whether_o the_o person_n to_o be_v canonize_v be_v famous_a for_o simplicity_n of_o life_n as_o sylvester_n prierus_n note_v out_o of_o innocentius_n hostiensis_n &_o other_o canonist_n which_o inquiry_n whither_o or_o no_o it_o be_v make_v with_o as_o true_a innocency_n as_o the_o command_n pretend_v to_o seek_v i_o need_v not_o judge_n but_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o the_o inquiry_n be_v a_o eminent_a subtlety_n indeed_o simplicity_n be_v a_o virtue_n which_o so_o moderate_v the_o action_n of_o man_n and_o so_o refine_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o s._n ambrose_n not_o without_o a_o sobriety_n of_o mind_n apt_o call_v it_o the_o sobriety_n of_o the_o mind_n nay_o it_o so_o sublime_v man_n and_o purify_v he_o from_o worldly_a wisdom_n that_o the_o wise_a man_n of_o the_o world_n as_o s._n cregory_n complain_v count_v this_o simplicity_n folly_n and_o by_o a_o licence_n of_o speech_n common_o call_v one_o of_o small_a understanding_n or_o as_o they_o phrase_v it_o a_o fool_n a_o
