Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 3:12

12. And the man said, the Woman whom thou gavest to be with me she gave me of the Tree, and I did eat .

I have eaten, not by my▪ own choice and inclination, but by the perswasion of this Woman▪

As a meet help▪ a faithful friend and constant companion▪ supposing▪ that it was not good for me to [illegible: 1+ letters]e alone, which the event shews would have been much better for me▪ Thus Adam excuseth himself, and chargeth God foolishly with his sin.

Out of complacency to her, not from any evil design against thee.
