GENESIS, chapter 3, verse 6. She took of its fruit and ate.1
GEN. cap. 3. vers. 6. Tulit de fructu illius & comedit.
Hac ratione consummatum fuit peccatum Evae, peccatum dico inobedientiae, violato nempe Dei mandato, quo esus ex arbore scientiae boni & mali interdictus ei fuerat. Verum de peccato Evae paulo subtilius disserendum est.
In this way Eve's sin was consummated, the sin, I mean, of disobedience, namely by the violation of God's command, by which eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil had been forbidden her. But concerning Eve's sin we must discourse a little more subtly.2
