Butner (Christological Dogmatics, 104) follows Edward Fisher (Marrow of Divinity, 36) in showing how Adam broke each of the commandments.
Adam:
(1) Treated the Devil as
God
(2) Idolized his stomach
(3) Bore God’s name in
vain by failing to believe and worship God rightly
(4) Did not rest in his
assigned estate and therefore violated the spiritual significance of the
sabbath
(5) Did not honour God his
Father
(6) Committed self-murder
since when he ate the fruit he would surely die and he caused the death of all
his progeny
(7) Committed spiritual
fornication being unfaithful to his relationship with God
(8) Stole the fruit
(9) Bore false testimony
against God by treating him as a mean liar
(10) Coveted the fruit, knowledge of good and evil, and the status of God
