Genesis 3:10

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.

Ver. 10. I heard thy voice.] So he had done before his fall, and feared not. "Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?" Mic 2:7 Excellently St Austin, Adversarius est nobis, quamdiu sumus et ipsi nobis: Quamdiu tu tibi inimicus es, inimicum habebis sermonem Dei. Yea, but I was naked, and therefore hid myself. This also was non causa pro causa. There was another pad in the straw, which he studiously conceals, viz., the conscience of his sin. a Hic vero non factum suum, sed Dei factum in semetipso reprehendit saith Rupertus. He blames not himself, but God, for making him naked; and so verifies that of Solomon, "The foolishness of man perverteth his way"; Pro 19:3 and then, to mend the matter, "his heart fretteth against the Lord." O silly simple!
