A11363	A treatise of Paradise. And the principall contents thereof especially of the greatnesse, situation, beautie, and other properties of that place: of the trees of life, good and euill; of the serpent, cherubin, fiery sword, mans creation, immortalitie, propagation, stature, age, knowledge, temptation, fall, and exclusion out of Paradise; and consequently of his and our originall sin: with many other difficulties touching these points. Collected out of the holy Scriptures, ancient fathers, and other both ancient and moderne writers.	Salkeld, John, 1576-1660.	1617 (1617)	STC 21622; ESTC S116515	126,315	368

of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a especial_o see_v he_o fore-knew_a his_o fall_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a to_o wit_n that_o by_o the_o trial_n of_o his_o obedience_n in_o this_o one_o
