“The whole is so deeply designed, that the origin and progress of evil in the breast is as nearly as possible such as it might have been, had there been no prompter. No startling proposal of disobedience is made, no advice, no persuasion to partake of the fruit is employed.

“my brethren, so wickedly. 8 Behold, now, I have two daughters, who have not known man; let me” (Page 360)
