which he sinned and therefore died for it was meete in reason that the same day the second Adam for the saluation of mākind should sanctifie vnto himselfe his spouse the Church in which he had created the first Adam the father of mankind taking a ribbe out of his side made a woman for as man was formed the sixt day and did eate of the tree the sixt houre so the Lord Iesus reforming man is fastened to the tree the sixt day and sixt houre and that day wherein Christ was killed and slaine in the flesh and in the which day he was made a redeemer and a Sauiour to man that had perished It is so euident that that day the Lord obeying his father suffered death wherein Adam being disobedient vnto God died for as Adam by eating of the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge brought death to the world so Christ our Sauiour dying vpon the tree of the crosse gaue life vnto man And againe as Christ was crucified in Golgotha for the sinne of man so Adam was dead and buried in that place before by transgressing the commaundements of God Looke in what day Adam transgressed in the coole of the day was hee condemned and put out of Paradise so faith Rabbi Isaac that the creating of Adam and the commandement and the fall and the driaing out of Paradise all befell the selfe same day Many of these Analogies seeme probable for the confirming of these opinions afore spoken For as it was kept in the tree which was the instrument of life and death so is it also kept in time and place But thanks be vnto God who deliuered vs from the fal from the curse from death hell damnation and from going out of Paradise which was our portion held by the first Adam but now all things are made manifest by the second Adam by the appearing of Messias who hath abolished sinne and death and hath brought life and immortalitie vnto light through the Gospel for as Eue being a virgin and incorrupted when she had conceiued the words of the serpent brought foorth by disobedience death so the virgin Mary full of faith and gladnesse embracing the salutation of the Angel Gabriel restored life through Christ who redeemed man from thraldome So was the promise of God before Adam was brought out of Paradise that the seed of the woman the Messias and Sauior in whom and by whom we haue eternall life should tread the Serpents head This comfort was very great vnto Adam and continued from Adam the first man vnto Abraham 1949. yeeres the first Patriarch wherein the children of God were instructed by this promise and saw through faith the redemption of man Now by the sentence of God Adam was sent from the garden of Eden to till the earth whence he was taken and being cast out at the East side of the garden of Eden the Lord God set Cherubins and the blade of a sword shaken to keepe the way of the tree of life Afterward Adam knew his wife which conceiued and bare Caine an argument to prooue of no long continuance of Adam in Paradice And againe Eue conceiued and had another sonne and called him Abel for yet the blessings of God the state of mariage and mans nature were not vtterly abolished through sinne but the qualitie and the conditions thereof was chaunged Caine was a tiller of the ground and Abel was a shepeheard they offred both to the Lord sacrifice and it is plaine by their oblation that how Adam instructed his children in the knowledge of God and how God gaue them sacrifices to signifie their saluation for so Adam confessed the Lord to be God saying I haue obtained a man by the Lord when Caine was borne God tooke not his spirit frō his elect neither did absent himselfe frō the church For the first godly Fathers had the law writē in their hearts by the spirit of God The first table where the cōmādemēts were grauē was flesh which was in Adam the secōd was giue in tables of stones to Moses But as cōcerning their oblations Caine offered vnto God of the first fruite of the groūd Abel likewise offered the first fruit of his shepe Abel with his sacrifice was accepted of the Lord and Caine with his oblations was reiected For so Paul saieth that Abel offred vnto God a greater sacrifice then Caine by the which he obtained witnesse that he was righteous because GOD receiued him to mercy and therefore imputed righteous God testifying of his gifts by the which being dead yet liueth wherefore Caine was angrie and exceeding wroth and his countenaunce fell downe because he was an hypocrite and offered onely for outward shew without sinceritie of heart yet God gaue vnto Caine the dignitie of the first borne ouer Abel But Cain contemning despising God whē he was reproued of God for the murthering of his brother Abel whom he entised to walke to the fields to be killed whose blood euen from earth cried vp vnto heauen for reuenge at Gods hand at that time the curse of God was pronounced against Caine and he went from the presence of the Lord wandring from place to place with tortures of a guiltie conscience according to Gods sentence as domesticall furies night and day seeking meanes to hide himselfe with the like guiltie conscience as Adam had when he fled from the face of God when hee was called of Iehoua in Paradise Where art thou Adam Caine went to the land of Node thinking by being farre from God he should haue lesse occasion to feare him Caine had some visible marke to be knowen of all men for God said he should not be slaine not that he loued him but for that God abhorreth murther and would haue a murtherer knowen Caine knew his wife which conceiued and bare Henoch and builded a citie and called it after his sonnes name Henoch this was the first citie of the world there hee dwelt with his wife To Henoch was borne Irad and Irad begate Mehimal and he begate Methushael and Methushael begate Lamech these children grew vngodly and wicked as most naturall and like children to Caine the last worse then the first for this contemptuous Lamech tooke to him two wiues the one named Adah the other Zillah thereby he first corrupted the lawfull institution of mariage which was that two should be one flesh Afterward he mocked scoft at Gods sufferāce in Cain saying If Cain shal be auenged seuen fold truly Lamech shall be auenged seuentie times seuen fold as though God would suffer none to punish him albeit hee was most contemptuous of good liuing most vngodly and wickedly hauing 76. children in adulterie as Iosephus writeth but by Adah he had a sonne named Iubal who was the first that taught to make tents and to dwell therein and he was the first father of such as had cattell Lamech had a sonne named Iubal who was the first

that great wisedome that he could and did name all liuing creatures and God gaue him soueraigntie and dominion ouer all the earth and all the creatures therein saying Subijcite vobis terram dominamini The possession of Adam was much to be an Emperour of the whole world a commander of all the whole earth but in the midst of this great blisse the contempt of God and vnthankfulnesse to God ouerthrew Adam for Satan taking vpon him the forme of a serpent a murtherer from his originall and a lier from the beginning the ancient enemie of Man enuying the happy estate and the great felicitie of Adam fell in friendship with Eue entising her to eate of the forbidden fruite saying If thou eate of the tree of knowledge your eies shall be open you shall know both good and bad and you shall bee as GOD himselfe Eua streight conceiued by the wordes of the serpent the destruction of man and was entised to say with the Poet Vt vidi vt perij vt me malus abstulit error tooke the fruite ate it and gaue it to Adam to eate Here sinne entered into man here death entered into the world This disobedience Ingens malorum Chaos brought Adam and all his posterities into bondage by this transgression man lost the fauour of God and the possession of Paradise for not keeping Gods commandement The image of God was obscured in man and for sinne sake the whole earth was cursed that Hinc infoelix lolium steriles dominantur auenae thus by one man sinne entered vnto the world and death by sinne This contempt of God through vnthankfulnesse lost all the benefites of God which he gaue to man in his creation The commandement broken by Adam the church deuided by Cain marriage corrupted by Lamech that which should bee a testimonie of mans obedience towards God in man was broken by man all the blessings of God which God created for man in sixe dayes Adam lost in sixe houres and for that I wrote sixe houres some of the best learned affirme that Adam fell within sixe houres after his creation some nine some twelue but all conclude that Adam fell the same day wherein hee was created and was the same day put out of Paradise for as the first man sinned and disobeyed God and became equal to the beast Caluine Plinie saith that Adam and Eue fell the same day that they were created 27. I thinke that out of Moses it may be gathered that Adam and Eue did not long retaine the dignitie they had receiued for as soone as Moses said they were created without any mention made of any other thing he passeth to the fall which was before that Adā knew his wife which is to be in Genesis read for had he dwelled with his wife any long time surely the blessings of God should not haue bene in vaine and therefore Moses signifieth they were depriued of Gods benefits before propagation of issue whereby it seemeth streight after the creation before they had accompanied their transgression fell by which they were commaunded to depart from the place of happinesse for the deuill who hath bene a murtherer a lier and a sinner from the beginning euen in the first man played his part to hasten the fall immediately after the creation of Adam and from thence neuer ceased to spred abroad his poison amongst men Diuers of the Iewes Rabbies were of opinion that Adam in Paradise continued not a night and first Abba a great doctor of the Iewes saieth when Adam and Eue were planted they were as it is written a spring of my planting the worke of my handes to be delighted in Againe it is written what day thou wast planted thou diddest wander from me for in that day they were planted in the world they were vnited and the same day they rebelled Againe in the Sabboths eue Adam was created in the which day all these things fell out in order as the Rabbie Midras setteth downe that the Sabboth comming on hastened Adam out of Paradise First God purposed the making of man Secondly that he should raigne with Angels Thirdly God gathered his clay God formed it framed and breathed life vnto it God set man in Paradise charged him with a commaundement but Adam transgressed the same day he was condemned the same day and driuen out of Paradise the same day for God came in the coole of the day to giue sentence against Adam and the Sabboth comming on did rid him thence for the Angels cried concerning him Adam in honour and dignitie will not continue a night but he became like the beast that perisheth for the same day in the which the first man was created it was committed to the extremitie The same words or the like doeth doctor Bochay rehearse The first houre Adams mould was gathered and so with those termes as Midras before rehersed the eleuenth he was iudged a transgresser the twelfth he was driuen out of Paradise and so concluded as is sayd before Adam in honour did not lodge a night he became like the beasts that perish So the Iewes Rabbies handle this in their booke called Drash at large agreeing in one opinion But some of them were more curious then need required in seeking out the very houres of Adams continuance in Paradise Some would haue it the fixt houre as Augustine writeth and holdeth it so and of this opinion is Theophilactus who saieth As man was formed the sixt day so he did eate of the tree the sixt houre Some would haue it the ninth houre as Thomas Aquinas some would haue it the twelfth houre as doctor Bochay but the day is agreed vpon and their opinion hath bene euery where receiued I will bring two or three more testimonies to confirme the wordes before Rabbi Nathan writeth thus the same day that Adam was formed the same day that his members were knit and his veines opened the same day that life was put in him the same day that he stood first on his feete the same day that Euah was maried vnto him the same day that hee gaue names to all the creatures the same day that hee entered into Paradise the same day that God gaue him the commaundement the same day Adam disobeyed and the same day he was driuen out of Paradise No doubt as soone as man was created Satan sought mans destruction and had a wicked desire to hate him he went with all his might to destroy man and working errour and rebellion in our first parents Adam and Eue hee slew all mankind The same murtherer within a while after armed Caine to destroy his brother Abel Because Adam trusted too much in his owne aboundancie and thought neuer to be mooued the Lord turned away his face from him and therefore the same day wherein Adam was made he transgressed Gods commaundement And Beda our owne countriman sayd that Adam was formed the sixt day in

foorth by Moses in Genesis all liuing creatures all creeping wormes all things in heauen aboue and all things in earth below were created to set foorth the glory of God and to magnifie his name and God sawe that all which he did was good and therfore blessed them and by vertue of his eternall word commaunded them to multiplie and to engender He commaunded both fish and fowle the one to flie aboue in the aire the other to swimme belowe in the water for fish and fowle had one beginning He commaunded all the rest of his creatures to obey man because man should serue and obey God all creatures were created for the vse of man and for the glory of God such was the loue of God towards man When God had made this great tabernacle of the world in such perfect frame in such wonderfull perfection that the very perfection thereof as the Philosopher saieth might see and say Ex effectis There is a God the workemanship hereof is aboue farre the reach of man Quia ipse dixit facta sunt and therefore Paul to the Hebrewes saieth that wee must vnderstand through faith that the world was ordained by the word of GOD and the things which wee see were not made of things that did appeare for God made all things of nothing against the rules of Philosophie Ex nihilo nihil fit though Plato did his best to make some comparison as farre as his sence could see of this great worke with Art applying to the earth to the water to the aire and to the fire the most perfect kindes of squares and most exquisite frames and formes of Geometrie which the learned may read to satisfie himselfe and the whole vniuersall frame by the names and qualities of sensible Elements the earth her forme the water the aire and the fire to haue theirs compared to Dodecaedri Cicero likewise to whom I referre the Reader that is desirous to heare a full praise at large in particulars the varietie beautie perfection harmonie and the diuine excellencie of this worke deuised and made by God to man but let sence sleepe in so great a matter let Plato and Cicero keepe silence of that they know not let Moses the man of God not with sence but with faith certifie you in this and heare what God sayd to Iob concerning his workes Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth who hath laid the measures thereof or who hath stretched the line ouer it whereupon is the foundation of the earth set or who laid the corner stone thereof or who hath shut vp the sea with doores and set barres on it who said to the sea Hitherto shalt thou come and no further where is the way where light dwelleth or where is the place of darkenesse hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth or haue the gates of death opened vnto thee Read the whole chapter and there you shall read of the weakenesse of man to find out the workes of God of the power of God in his works which worke being finished with all creatures therein sauing MAN of whose creation hee taketh councell of his Wisedome Vertue purposing to make a more excellent creature of man then the rest and to the intent that man should not glory in the excellencie of his owne nature he sheweth whereof mans body was created of the slime and dust of the earth God saieth Let vs make man to our owne likenesse in righteousnesse and holinesse in all innocencie and perfection So Manilius saith Exemplúmque Dei quisque est in imagine parua and for that man should not bee alone without helpe or comfort God made a woman to liue in societie of man for euer And God said Let man rule ouer the fish of the sea and ouer the foules of heauen and ouer the beastes of the earth and ouer euery thing that creepeth or mooueth vpon the earth and this great liberalitie of God towards man taketh away all excuse of mans ingratitude sith God left all things to man and created man to his owne image and named him Adam the last creature made and as hee was the last so was he the best creature made for in man God rested Tanquam in suo templo domicilio in man God so delighted that hee endued him with Wisedome Iustice felicitie on earth that God might be serued and glorified by man for all creatures were made to serue man that man might serue God in his creatures God laied before man good and bad life and death God made man lord ouer all the earth and to haue soueraigntie ouer the whole world God placed man in a sweete pleasant and a delicate garden in the garden of Eden named so of the Hebrewes for the delicacie thereof of the Graecians named 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for the aboundancie of pleasure therein and in the Persian tongue called Paradice for so the kings of Persia doe name their delicate gardens and pleasant orchardes there might Adam liue for euer without feeling of sinne or tasting of death had hee not disobeied God This Paradise was set in the East part of the earth a place by report of the best learned most temperate and fertile So Aristotle and Hippocrates affirme saying Omnia pulchriora in Asia nasci meliora This place is of the Prophet Ezechiel thus commended Quòd facie ad orientem conuersa adorarent and Esay saieth Iustitiam ab oriente proficisci that is Righteousnesse should come from the East meaning the Messias to come In the East the starre appeared to the wisemen in this place the pleasant riuers which commonly are called the foure fluds of Paradice doe spring in this garden Hence doeth Euphrates take her course and runneth through Babylon and Mesopotamia hence doth Ganges spring to India and compasseth all Aethiopia from this garden doth Nilus ouerflow all Aegypt and from this place doeth Tigris so called for her swiftnesse passe through Assyria Moses nameth them in the Hebrue tongue otherwaies which I laied downe in the margent This garden did much excel the garden of Alcinois or the Orchard of Hesperides or the delicate valeys of Thessalie Tempe Thessalicum or the Isles Fortunate This pleasant place and the fame of Paradise and the report of the pleasure of that place was heard of amongst the Heathens for it is written of Iohn Freigius that the figure of Pythagoras letter was put vp in Samo to signifie the state of man as a figure of the tree of knowledge In this happie place God commanded Adam and Eue to dwell and there all creatures were brought before Adam and he named them vpon the sight a true argument to prooue the wisedom and perfection of Adam by his creation a thing more proper to God then to man So Plato could say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That God gaue to euery creature his owne name in the beginning In trueth God gaue him
