I had hope When violence was ceas't, and Warr on Earth, [ 780 ] All would have then gon well, peace would have crownd With length of happy dayes the race of man; But I was farr deceav'd; for now I see Peace to corrupt no less then Warr to waste.

here adam is realizing after his vision that during times of war man sinned by killing, but during times of peace man still found a way to sin. Instead of killing they now engage in "flesh sin"which further leads to their demise. I think here Adam is beginning to realize that man will sin no matter what the situation is. This can be tied back into satan and adam and eve's disobedience to Gods divine laws, and because of eve, sin has been created for all of mankind, as eve represents the mother of all humankind.
