acpanied to heaven gate； from whence
eden and all the coast in prospect lay。
down he descended strait； the speed of gods ＇ 90 ＇
time counts not； though with swiftest minutes wingd。
now was the sun in western cadence low
from noon； and gentle aires due at thir hour
to fan the earth now wakd； and usher in
the eevning coole； when he from wrauth more coole ＇ 95 ＇
came the mild judge and intercessor both
to sentence man： the voice of god they heard
now walking in the garden； by soft windes
brought to thir ears； while day declind； they heard；
and from his presence hid themselves among ＇ 100 ＇
the thickest trees； both man and wife； till god
approaching； thus to adam calld aloud。
where art thou adam； wont with joy to meet
my ing seen far off？ i miss thee here；
not pleasd； thus entertaind with solitude； ＇ 105 ＇
where obvious dutie erewhile appeard unsaught：
or e i less conspicuous； or what change
absents thee； or what chance detains？ e forth。
he came； and with him eve； more loth； though first
to offend； discountnanct both； and disposd； ＇ 110 ＇
love was not in thir looks； either to god
or to each other； but apparent guilt；
and shame； and perturbation； and despaire；
anger； and obstinacie； and hate； and guile。
whence adam faultring long； thus answerd brief。 ＇ 115 ＇
i heard thee in the garden； and of thy voice
affraid； being naked； hid my self。 to whom
the gracious judge without revile replid。

my voice thou oft hast heard； and hast not feard；
but still rejoyct； how is it now bee ＇ 120 ＇
so dreadful to thee？ that thou art naked； who
hath told thee？ hast thou eaten of the tree
whereof i gave thee charge thou shouldst not eat？
to whom thus adam sore beset replid。
o heavn！ in evil strait this day i stand ＇ 125 ＇
before my judge； either to undergoe
my self the total crime； or to accuse
my other self； the partner of my life；
whose failing； while her faith to me remaines；
i should conceal； and not expose to blame ＇ 130 ＇
by my plaint； but strict necessitie
subdues me； and calamitous constraint
least on my head both sin and punishment；
however insupportable； be all
devolvd； though should i hold my peace； yet thou ＇ 135 ＇
wouldst easily detect what i conceale。
this woman whom thou madst to be my help；
and gavst me as thy perfet gift； so good；
so fit； so acceptable； so divine；
that from her hand i could suspect no ill； ＇ 140 ＇
and what she did； whatever in it self；
her doing seemd to justifie the deed；
shee gave me of the tree； and i did eate。
to whom the sovran presence thus replid。
was shee thy god； that her thou didst obey ＇ 145 ＇
before his voice； or was shee made thy guide；
superior； or but equal； that to her
thou didst resigne thy manhood； and the place
wherein god set thee above her made of thee；
and for thee； whose perfection farr excelld ＇ 150 ＇
hers in all real dignitie： adornd
she was indeed； and lovely to attract
thy love； not thy subjection； and her gifts
were such as under government well seemd；
unseemly to beare rule； which was thy part ＇ 155 ＇
and person； hadst thou known thy self aright。
so having said； he thus to eve in few：
say woman； what is this which thou hast done？

to whom sad eve with shame nigh overwhelmd；
confessing soon； yet not before her judge ＇ 160 ＇
bold or loquacious； thus abasht replid。
the serpent me beguild and i did eate。
which when the lord god heard； without delay
to judgement he proceeded on th accusd
serpent though brute； unable to transferre ＇ 165 ＇
the guilt on him who made him instrument
of mischief； and polluted from the end
of his creation； justly then accurst；
as vitiated in nature： more to know
concernd not man （since he no further knew） ＇ 170 ＇
nor alterd his offence； yet god at last
to satan first in sin his doom applyd
though in mysterious terms； judgd as then best：
and on the serpent thus his curse let fall。
because thou hast done this； thou art accurst ＇ 175 ＇
above all cattle； each beast of the field；
upon thy belly groveling thou shalt goe；
and dust shalt eat all the dayes of thy life。
between thee and the woman i will put
enmitie； and between thine and her seed； ＇ 180 ＇
her seed shall bruise thy head； thou bruise his heel。
so spake this oracle； then verifid
when jesus son of mary second eve；
saw satan fall like lightning down from heavn；
prince of the aire； then rising from his grave ＇ 185 ＇
spoild principalities and powers； triumpht
in open shew； and with ascention bright
captivity led captive through the aire；
the realm it self of satan long usurpt；
whom he shall tread at last under our feet； ＇ 190 ＇
eevn hee who now foretold his fatal bruise；
and to the woman thus his sentence turnd。
thy sorrow i will greatly multiplie
by thy conception； children thou shalt bring
in sorrow forth； and to thy husbands will ＇ 195 ＇
thine shall submit； hee over thee shall rule。
on adam last thus judgement he pronouncd。

because thou hast hearknd to the voice of thy wife；
and eaten of the tree concerning which
i chargd thee； saying： thou shalt not eate thereof； ＇ 200 ＇
cursd is the ground for thy sake； thou in sorrow
