Genesis 3 verses 4 and 5 - Allegory - Scriptural allegory

1910 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures is the Final Edition authorized by Mary Baker Eddy.
This is subtitle 2 of 5 for the Bible verse below.
Bible Verses: Genesis 3 verses 4 and 5
  	     Genesis iii. 4, 5.  And the serpent said unto the woman,
  	Ye shall not surely die:  for God doth know that in the day
15	ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened; and ye shall
  	be as gods, knowing good and evil. 

  	    The history of error is a dream-narrative. The dream
27	has no reality, no intelligence, no mind; therefore the
  	dreamer and dream are one, for neither is	                              Scriptural
  	true nor real. First, this narrative supposes	                              allegory 
30	that something springs from nothing, that matter pre-
  	cedes mind. Second, it supposes that mind enters matter,
 1	and matter becomes living, substantial, and intelligent. 
  	The order of this allegory — the belief that everything
 3	springs from dust instead of from Deity — has been main-
  	tained in all the subsequent forms of belief. This is the
  	error, — that mortal man starts materially, that non-
 6	intelligence becomes intelligence, that mind and soul are
  	both right and wrong.
