Yet God who made him had pity on him; for He, seeing man was deceived, and that it was not of malice, or an original presumption in him, but through the sub tilty of the serpent, (that had first fallen from his own state,) and by the mediation of the woman, man's own nature and companion, (whom the serpent had first deluded,) in his infinite goodness and wisdom provided a way to repair the breach, recover the loss, and re store fallen man again by a nobler and more excellent Adam, promised to be born of a woman; that as, by means of a woman the evil onehad prevailed upon man, by a woman also He should come into the world, who would prevail against him and bruise his head, and de liver man from his power: and which, in a signal man ner, by the dispensation of the Son of God in the flesh, in the fulness of time, was personally and fully aecom plished by him, and in him, as man's Saviour and Redeemer.

About the Author
Penn founded Pennsylvania as a "Holy Experiment" under Charles II. He was a well-known proponent of religious freedom and tolerance in England and parts of Europe, specifically as a Quaker. His convictions landed him in jail serveral times. He wrote No Cross, No Crown while imprisoned in the Tower of London. As is the case with most who carry the truth of the gospel so passionately, he spent much time in prison for what he believed.
