The Concentrated Centre of Nature · Passage 37
German
Was und wie aber die Speise gewesen, ist zu erzählen weitläufftig, und wie Eva mit Adam durch die böse Krafft und Lust, und aus dem bösen Willen, damals selig gegessen und himmlisch gestorben, oder wie sie durch Wieder-Einziehung der guten GOtt angenehmen Krafft und Lust in den Willen ihrer Seelen Mund zugethan, verstopffet und also ersticket, ist bekandt und schmertzlich gnug.
English
But to relate what that food was and how it was constituted would take a long account. How Eve together with Adam, through evil power and desire and from an evil will, then ate away their blessedness and died to heaven—or how, by drawing back the good power and desire pleasing to God into their will, they closed and stopped the mouth of their soul and thus suffocated it—is known and painful enough.
