Genesis 38-21

• 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God
  walking in the garden in the cool of the day and
  Adam and his wife hid themselves from the
  presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the
  garden.
•  9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said
  unto him, Where art thou?
•  10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden,
  and I was afraid, because I was naked and I hid
  myself.
•  11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast
  naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I
  commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
•  12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest
  to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did
  eat.
•  13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is
  this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The
  serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
•  14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
  Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed
  above all cattle, and above every beast of the
  field upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust
  shalt thou eat all the days of thy life
•  15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
  woman, and between thy seed and her seed it
  shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
  heel.
•  16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
  multiply thy sorrow and thy conception in sorrow
  thou shalt bring forth children and thy desire
  shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
  thee.
•  17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
  hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast
  eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
  saying, Thou shalt not eat of it cursed is the
  ground for thy sake in sorrow shalt thou eat of
  it all the days of thy life
•  18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth
  to thee and thou shalt eat the herb of the
  field
•  19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
  bread, till thou return unto the ground for out
  of it wast thou taken for dust thou art, and
  unto dust shalt thou return.
•  20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve because
  she was the mother of all living.
•  21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD
  God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Genesis 322-24

• 22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is
  become as one of us, to know good and evil and
  now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of
  the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever
•  23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from
  the garden of Eden, to till the ground from
  whence he was taken.
•  24 So he drove out the man and he placed at the
  east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a
  flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the
  way of the tree of life.

Prevenient Grace in Paradise Lost
Thus they in lowliest plight repentant
stoodPraying, for from the mercy-seat
abovePrevenient Grace descending had removedThe
stony from thir hearts, and made new
fleshRegenerate grow instead, that sighs now
breathed Unutterable, which the spirit of
prayerInspired, and winged for heav'n with
speedier flightThan loudest oratory (PL
11.1-8) Ezekiel 1119 (King James
Version)  19 And I will give them one heart,
and I will put a new spirit within you and I
will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and
will give them an heart of flesh  20 That they
may walk in my statutes, and keep mine
ordinances, and do them and they shall be my
people, and I will be their God.

Typology and Figura in Paradise Lost, Book 12 (1)
This ponder, that all nations of the earth Shall
in his seed be blessed by that seed Is meant thy
great Deliverer, who shall bruise The Serpents
head whereof to thee anon Plainlier shall be
revealed. (12.147-151)

God from the Mount of Sinai, whose gray topShall
tremble, he descending, will himselfIn thunder
lightning and loud trumpets soundOrdain them
Laws part such as appertain To civil justice,
part religious ritesOf sacrifice, informing
them, by typesAnd shadows, of that destined Seed
to bruiseThe Serpent, by what means he shall
achieveMankinds deliverance. But the voice of
God To mortal ear is dreadful they beseechThat
Moses might report to them his will,And terror
cease he grants what they besoughtInstructed
that to God is no accessWithout mediator, whose
high office now Moses in figure bears, to
introduceOne greater, of whose day he shall
foretell,And all the Prophets in their age the
timesOf great Messiah shall sing.

So law appears imperfect, and but giv'n With
purpose to resign them in full timeUp to a
better cov'nant, disciplinedFrom shadowy types
to truth, from flesh to spirit,From imposition
of strict laws, to freeAcceptance of large
grace, from servile fear To filial, works of law
to works of faith.And therefore shall not Moses,
though of GodHighly beloved, being but the
ministerOf law, his people into Canaan leadBut
Joshua whom the Gentiles Jesus call,His name and
office bearing, who shall quellThe adversary
Serpent, and bring backThrough the worlds
wilderness long-wandered manSafe to eternal
paradise of rest.   (12.300-14)

. . . and our Sire Replete with joy and wonder
thus replied. O goodness infinite,
goodness immense!That all this good of evil
shall produce, And evil turn to good more
wonderfulThan that which by creation first
brought forthLight out of darkness! Full of
doubt I stand,Whether I should repent me now of
sinBy me done and occasioned, or rejoice Much
more, that much more good thereof shall
spring,To God more glory, more good will to
menFrom God, and over wrath grace shall
abound. (12.467-78)

I have said that Poetry is the spontaneous
overflow of powerful feelings it takes its
origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity
the emotion is contemplated till by a species of
reaction the tranquillity gradually disappears,
and an emotion, kindred to that which was before
the subject of contemplation, is gradually
produced, and does itself actually exist in the
mind.
