21 / 289

Q21. Did God, when he made man, leave him without a rule to walk by?

No: he gave him a law in his nature, and imposed upon him a positive precept, but he offered violence to them, and brake them both.

Genesis 3:3,6

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 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.
