Lettering

Considerare potuit homo ex his, quae Deus ante ei contulera, sumām auctori obedientiam esse deferendam, et ideo, si vim nesciebat boni et mali, tamen, quia tantorum auctor dixerat, de ligno scientiae boni et mali non esse gustandam, fidem praeceptori servare debebat. Ambros. de par. c. 6 ... Lettering continues: "Und Gott der Herr gebot dem Menschen, und sprach: du solt essen von allerley Baumen im Garten; Aber von dem Baum des Erkäntnisses gutes und böses solt du nicht essen. Denn welches Tages du davon issest würst du des Todes sterben. Gen. 2. 16.17. [Repeated in French]. Joh. Elias Ridinger inv. del. fec. et excud. A.V."
