Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou cat bread; – such are, according to Scripture, the words that God addressed to our first parent on driving him from the terrestrial Paradise.<br><br>Adam, before his condemnation, earned his bread without any trouble.
