But I fear — Love is full of these fears. Lest as the serpent — A most apposite comparison. Deceived Eve — Simple, ignorant of evil. By his subtilty — Which is in the highest degree dangerous to such a disposition. So your minds — We might therefore be tempted, even if there were no sin in us. Might be corrupted — Losing their virginal purity. From the simplicity that is in Christ — That simplicity which is lovingly intent on him alone, seeking no other person or thing.
