justice, fre-will, and cleir knawledge of him selff; sua that in the
haill nature of man thair could be notit na imperfectioun: Frome
quhilk honour and perfectioun man and woman did baith fall; the woman
being desavit be the Serpent, and man obeying to the voice of the
woman, baith conspyring against the Soverane Majestie of God, quha in
expressit wordis of befoir had threatnit death, gif thay presumeit to
eit of the forbiddin tree.

and similitude," are omitted in the editions of the Confession 1561,
