THE FALL.

Gen. ii, 1-6, 8-14, 22-24. Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the midst of the garden, God the fruit of the tree which is in neither shall ye touch it, lest yo hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know, that in the day ye cat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened; and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art

Rom. ill, 9-12.18-20. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all goue out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know, that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

HEREDITARY.

one.

Job xv, 14-16. What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight; How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

Job xxv, 4-6. How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight: How much less man, that is a worm, and the son of man, which is a worm?

Prov. vi, 16-19.

Isa. lix, 7, 8. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and des.ruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Jer. vii, 9,10. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one, that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

Rom. vii. 7-25. What shall we say then? Is the law sin, God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment,

Jer. xlii, 20, 21. For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it. And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.

Ezek. vill, 18. Therefore will I also deal iu fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I bave pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

Heb. iii, 7-9, 15. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness; When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. hear his voice, harden not your While it is said, To-day, it ye will hearts, as in the provocation. Heb. iv, 7. Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying, in David, To

ment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; inat sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. For wo know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I ailow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is

good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing, for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now, if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

2 Cor. xil, 20. For I fear, lest, when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye

would not; lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults.
