1. In the beginning God made all things very good, created man after his owna Image and likenesse, filling him with all perfection of all naturall excellency and uprightnesse, free from all sinne.b But long he abode not in this honour, but by thec subtiltie of the Serpent, which Satan used as his instrument, himselfe with his Angels having sinned before, and notd kept their first estate, but left their owne habitation; firste Eve, then Adam being seduced did wittingly and willingly fall into disobedience and transgression of the Commandement of their great Creator, for the which death came upon all, and reigned over all, so that all since the Fall are conceived in sinne, and brought forth in iniquitie, and so by nature children of wrath, and servants of sinne, subjects off death, and all other calamities due to sinne in this world and for ever, being considered in the state of nature, without relation to Christ.g
