Moses Bar-Cephas.
LAstly, to these we may joyn Moses Bar-Cephas Bishop of Syria, who compos'd in Syriack a Treatise concerning Paradise, divided into three Books, set forth in Latin by Masius, Printed first at Antwerp, in the year 1569, and afterwards in the Bibliotheca Patrum▪ 'Tis a very large Commentary on what was said concerning Paradise in the Book of Gene∣sis. In the first Book he treats of the Earthly Paradise: In the second, of the Mystical Para∣dise, that is to say, of the Mystical Significations of that which is call'd the Earthly Para∣dise; and in the last he treats of the Errors of Hereticks concerning Paradise, and the Ob∣jections that may be brought to the contrary. In this last Book he maintains, that Adam was created Mortal, and that God would have render'd him immortal by his Grace, if he had not sinn'd: however, he refu••es Theodore and Nestorius, who had maintain'd that the Sin of Adam was not the Cause of the Death of Mankind.
