How Adam Broke the Ten Commandments

Edward Fisher says in his Marrow of Modern Divinity that Adam broke the Ten Commandments “at one clap.” Here’s what he says:

1. He chose himself another god when he followed the devil.
2. He idolized and deified his own belly (he made his belly his god).
3. He took the name of God in vain, when he believed him not.
4. He kept not the rest and estate wherein God had set him.
5. He dishonored his Father who was in heaven; and therefore his days were not prolonged in that land which the Lord God had given him.
6. He massacred himself and all his posterity.
7. From Eve he was a virgin, but in eyes and mind he committed spiritual fornication.
8. He stole, like Achan, that which God had set aside not to be meddled with; and this his stealth is that which troubles all Israel – the whole world.
9. He bare witness against God, when he believed the witness of the devil before him.
10. He coveted an evil covetousness, like Amnon, which cost him his life, and all his progeny.
