Thirdly, how Adam was made after Gods Image.

1. He was made Good, Gen. 1 3. Simply good, with∣out mixture of evill.

2. He was made in Knowledge, Col. 3.10. He knew God, and the Creatures after an excellent manner, and gave the Creatures sutable names. Gen. 2.19.

3. He was created Holy, Ephes. 4.24. free from all sinne, set apart for God.

So fourthly, He was made Righteous, Eccles. 7.3. being conformable to the will of his Creatour, fit to conceave a right of things in his mind, fit to will righte∣ousnesse, to remember righteousnesse, to love righteous∣nesse, to speake righteousnesse, and to doe it.

5. He was made Glorious, having these admirable endowments shining in his Soule, and his body, with∣out infirmitie or deformitie; strong, nimble, active, healthie.

6. He was Immortall, heate, and cold, moisture and drought, were (as I take it) perfectly compounded: fire and water, aire and earth so curiously mixed, and so tempered by the Lord of the Artistes, that man was not in this estate capable of sicknesse, sorrow, paine, or death.
