That Adam and Eve, from whom fprang all Mankind, were created in the Image of God; that is, holy and innocent, having a perfect Knowledge of their Duty, a Command of their Will and Affections, and a Power, through the Grace of God, to do what they faw fit

to be done.

In this Condition they were placed in Paradife, in a State of Trial, with a Promife of im mortal Life and Happinefs, if they should continue to Fear, to Love, to Honour and Obey their Creator; as alfo, with an exprefs Warning of the dreadful Confequence of their Difobedience.

Concerning the Nature and Greatness of this Sin, we are to judge of it by the Greatnefs of the Punishment inflicted upon them and their Pofterity:
