In ancient and medieval Europe, the Order was often on bad terms with the Houses, an inevitable result of the Order’s independence and political commitment.  They were a favorite target for witch-trials and some members accidentally whipped up public fervor against witches by idealistically making honest public confessions.  The Order of Eve’s distaste for warfare is legendary.  They opposed the American Revolution, the Civil War, and American entry into the two world wars, not to mention the wars in Korea and Vietnam and the modern wars in the middle east.

[b]Gen.3[/b]
 
[1] Now man was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And the man said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  [2] And the woman said unto the man, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:  [3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.  [4] Eve was listening.  [5] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof.  [6]  Eve was suspicious.  [7]  Eve did eat the fruit.  [8]  Eve was courageous.  [9]  Eve gave the fruit also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  [10]  Eve was loving.  [11] And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were mortal; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves circles.  [12]  Eve was wise.  [13] And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  [14]  Eve was fearful.  [15] And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?  [16] And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was mortal; and I hid myself.  [17] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast mortal? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?  [18] And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.  [19] And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, I saw that it was good and I did eat.  [20]  Eve was honest.  [21] And the LORD God said unto the worm, Because man hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; beneath thy belly shalt thou go, and flesh shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:  [13] And I will put enmity between the beasts and man, and between their seed, and claw will slay man and spear will slay beast.  [14] Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.  [15] And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;  [16] Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;  [17] In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.  [18] And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.  [19] Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.  [20] And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.  [21] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.  [22] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.  [23] And the woman said unto the man, Ye shall not surely die.  [24] For God doth know that in the day ye ate thereof, your eyes were opened, and we are as gods, knowing good and evil.  [25] Eve was as a god, knowing good and evil.
