“purpose to convince him of the necessity of an imputed righteousness.” (source)

“God knew very well that Adam was naked, and that he had eaten of the forbidden fruit, But God would know it from Adam’s own mouth. Thus God knows all our necessities before we ask, but yet insists upon our asking for his grace, and confessing our sins. For, by such acts, we acknowledge our dependence upon God, take shame to ourselves, and thereby give glory to his great name.” (source)

“(for if the devil can persuade us not to resist, but to commune with him, he hath gained a great point)” (source)

“‘Ye shall not surely die. Surely; God will not be so cruel as to damn you only for eating an apple, it cannot be.’ Alas! How many does Satan lead captive at his will, by flattering them, that they shall not surely die; that hell torments will not be eternal; that God is all mercy; that he therefore will not punish a few years sin with an eternity of misery? But Eve found God as good as his word; and so will all they who go on in sin, under a false hope that they shall not surely die.” (source)

“What child of God can expect to escape slander, when God himself was thus slandered even in paradise?” (source)
