A17218	Looke from Adam, and behold the Protestants faith and religion evidently proued out of the holy Scriptures against all atheists, papists, loose libertines, and carnall gospellers: and that the faith which they professe, hath continued from the beginning of the world, and so is the true and ancient faith. Herein hast thou also a short summe of the whole Bible, and a plaine manifestation, that all holy men who have pleased God, have beene saved through this Christian faith alone.; Alte Glaube.

they that in their estate are noted according to their generations to reckon backward from Abraham unto the first man though they had not the name of Christian men for at Antioch certaine yeeres after the ascension of Christ was that name given to the faithfull Acts 11. yet as pertaining to the religion and substance they were all Christians For if this word Christian be as much to say as one that putteth his trust in Christ and through his doctrine fastned unto faith unto the grace and righteousnesse of God doth cleave with all diligence to Gods doctrine and exerciseth himselfe in every thing that is vertuous then verily those holy men whom we spake of first were even the same that Christian men boast themselves now to be All these are the words of the foresaid old Christian Doctors But to the intent that no man shall thinke that we build upon men and upon a strange foundation therefore wee will first declare our minds out of the Scriptures and alleage somewhat more for the better understanding of the matter CHAP. II. Of the goodnesse of God and wickednesse of man GOd which hath ever beene sufficient to all perfection and needeth nothing of the creatures to his perfectnesse onely of his owne kinde and nature which is good that is to say of his owne grace and mercy yea even because he would doe good created man for himselfe But before he created him he provided first for him wonderfully and furnished him with unspeakable riches of his goodnesse For when he devised the creation of man and the time was now come which his godly wisdome and providence had ordained he first of all appointed a wonderfull lodging for man and garnished the same yet much more wonderfully At the beginning when the goodly and cleere light was made the Lord prepared the instruments which he afterward sundred one from another and ordained every one to some purpose Over the deepe that is over the water and earth which yet was in the water made he a firmament and spread out the heaven above as a pavilion Afterward out of the water he called and brought forth the earth as much as served for the habitation of men and appointed the water his bounds and markes which it may not overpasse And these three things the water the earth and the firmament that is to say the aire and clearenesse above us unto the height of heaven are the essentiall and substantiall parcels of the world and serve as an house for the habitation of men Neverthelesse as yet all this was but rough and unfinished and nothing garnished at all Therefore did the wise and faithfull master put forth his hand wider to performe and pleasantly to garnish that wonderfull worke yea not onely to garnish it but also to make it fruitfull and profitable for man which was the guest and inhabiter for to come And first in as much as man should inhabit the earth he garnished it aforehand and cloathed it with a goodly greene garment that is with a substance which hee deckt first with flowers and all manner of herbes which not onely are pleasant to looke upon and wonderfully beautified of a pleasant taste and goodly colour but also profitable for food and all manner of medicine To the same also did he first adde sundry trees and plants Then watered hee the earth with faire springs rivers and running waters And the ground made he not like on every side but in many places set it up pleasantly And hereof have wee the vallies plaines mountains and hills which things all have their due operation fruit and pleasantnesse After this also began he to garnish the heaven and firmament and set therein the Sunne and the Moone the Planets and Starres which things all are goodlier and more wonderfull than mans tongue can expresse As for their office and the cause why they are set in the heaven it is to give us light and with their up and downe going or motion to declare the times yeares moneths and daies dividing the daies and nights asunder Thirdly he laid his hand likewise in the water in the which hee had wrought no lesse wonders than in heaven and upon earth For in the water and especially in the sea doe the wonderfull workes of God appeare in the fishes and marvels of the sea if a man consider the nature and disposition of them And in the aire also hath hee created and ordained great tokens of his goodnesse power and wisdome even the fowles that pleasantly according to divers commodities doe sing unto man and refresh him At the last endued he the earth yet more richly and filled it with all kinde of profitable and goodly beasts and sundred one from another pleasantly When the Lord now had prepared this goodly and rich pleasure then first after these hee made man that he might bee Lord of all these things Him also endued he above all other creatures and created him after his owne image He made him of body and soule which should have endured for ever if he had not fallen into sinne Now hath he a fraile bodie and an immortall everlasting soule But the first man made he altogether perfect and without blemish so that verily he was called the image of God not without cause The Lord also was not sufficed in garnishing the earth goodly but first also builded upon the earth a speciall garden of pleasure even a Paradise and therein set he man his deare beloved creature And for as much as he being solitary and alone could not conveniently dwell without a mate he appointed him first to plant and keepe the Garden of pleasure and provided for him a wife even out of the bones of his owne body that she might bee the mans helpe Thus would the goodnesse of God finish and make man perfect to the intent that he should lacke nothing which served to a right wholesome and perfect life Therefore was it equall that man which was endued with reason and high understanding should shew thankfulnesse and obedience unto God for such high gifts Yea God himselfe which is not onely good but also righteous requireth the same of him and that by the meanes of the commandement That he might eat of all the trees of the Garden of pleasure Only he should eschew the fruit of knowing good and evill And this commandement was not grievous nor unreasonable Onely it required obedience and love of God the maker unto whom only the creature even man should have respect and looke for all good at his hand and not to take the forme of good and evill out of himselfe but onely to hold that for evill and forbidden which God inhibiteth as evill and to account that as good and righteous which God alloweth or forbiddeth not For a representation visible token and sacrament God shewed him a right visible and fruitfull tree in the Garden of pleasure and forbade him with earnest
