it_o be_v express_o affirm_v that_o both_o sex_n in_o distinct_a person_n be_v then_o create_v male_n and_o female_a create_v he_o they_o and_o such_o transposition_n be_v not_o unusual_a neither_o in_o the_o holy_a history_n nor_o in_o other_o history_n the_o first_o chapter_n give_v the_o brief_a and_o orderly_a relation_n of_o the_o whole_a series_n of_o time_n and_o thing_n do_v in_o they_o

of_o man_n be_v the_o last_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n the_o last_o work_n of_o the_o last_o day_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o order_n seem_v to_o be_v these_o 1._o because_o in_o the_o

this_o low_a world_n 2._o because_o mankind_n shall_v be_v furnish_v to_o his_o hand_n with_o all_o thing_n convenient_a and_o useful_a to_o his_o existence_n and_o operation_n as_o the_o grass_n be_v provide_v before_o the_o brute_n be_v create_v so_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o mankind_n fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v provide_v for_o his_o food_n and_o delight_n a_o paradise_n for_o his_o

obedience_n to_o the_o divine_a will_n command_n and_o law_n that_o he_o have_v implant_v in_o his_o mind_n and_o conscience_n certain_a principle_n of_o moral_a goodness_n and_o righteousness_n which_o be_v the_o original_a of_o those_o common_a notion_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a as_o so_o many_o secret_a byasses_n and_o inclination_n to_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o good_a and_o

sensible_a individual_a and_o specifical_a nature_n so_o these_o implant_v notion_n and_o moral_a inclination_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v therein_o lodge_v to_o guide_v and_o lead_v he_o in_o a_o conformity_n to_o his_o excellent_a constitution_n and_o for_o the_o attainment_n of_o a_o intellectual_a and_o eternal_a good_a and_o these_o though_o the_o vigour_n and_o brightness_n of_o they_o be_v much_o abate_v by_o his_o fall_n yet_o be_v transmit_v with_o his_o nature_n to_o his_o descendants_n and_o this_o be_v the_o original_a of_o those_o common_a notion_n which_o yet_o
