Q. Why was the tree, called the tree of know∣ledge of good and euill?
A. Not because it had power either to be∣get knowledge in Adam, or to augment his knowledge, as the Hebrewes and Iosephus doe thinke: for Adam was created with perfect knowledge: neither can corporall fruites pro∣duce spirituall effects in the soule: but it was so named from the euent: for man knew now what was good and euill by experience, hauing transgressed in eating of this tree. Secondly, it was so named, because of Satans false pro∣mise, who inticed them to eate of it, promising they should bee as Gods, knowing good and euill.
