Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 3:20

20. And Adam called his Wives name Eve , because she was the Mother of all living .

Which signifies either Living, or, the giver, or preserver of Life.

Though for her sin justly sentenced to a present death, yet by Gods infinite Mercy, and by vertue of the promised Seed was both continued in Life her self, and was made the Mother of all living Men and Women, that should be after her upon the Earth; who though in and with their Mother they were condemned to speedy Death, yet shall be brought forth into the state and Land of the Living, and into the hopes of a blessed and eternal Life by the Redeemer, whose Mother or progenitor she was.
