CHAP. XII.A further Consideration of the Image of God, which Man was created in; Shewing what particular Graces Adam's Soul was adorn'd with.SECT. I.WE are discovering the Nature of that Image God created us in at first, that so we may see how great our losse is.The last particular was, The naturality and supernaturality of it in divers respects: And this is the more to be observed, because while the Orthodox oppose the Socinians, who affirm, Nothing but a natural and simple innocency in Adam, without any infused or concreated habits of holinesse, or any thing supernatural in him; You would think they joyn with the Papists, who dogmatize, That all the holinesse Adam had was supernatural.
