Rehearse the letter I A. IN the beginning God made Man consisting of soule and body the body of the dust in it selfe mortall yet possibly immortall if man had not sinned the soule of spirituall substance immortall in its selfe in both a most excellent creature aboue all others except the Angels For hee was created in the image or likenesse of God and had dominion and rule ouer all other creatures in the world Q. What is to bee vnderstood by the word Man A. By the word Man is meant both sexes man and woman as we may see Gen. 1.27 5.2 where God being sayd to make man it is added immediatly male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name Adam or Man in the day when they were created Q. Why did God at the beginning make one man and one woman A. God made one man and one woman not only for propagation as it is Gen. 1.28 Be fruitfull and multiply and replenith the earth but also that by making onely one man and one woman hee might establish holy mariage and lawfull procreation of children Which our Sauiour proueth Matth. 19.4.5 Haue you not read sayth he that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female And thence concludeth that two shall be one flesh The like is in Mal. 2.15 And did not hee make one yet had hee abundance of spirit and wherefore one because he sought a godly seed Q. Proue that man doth consist of soule and body A. That man doth consist of these two parts soule and body is euident in the story of the creation Gen. 2.7 as also by many instances else where in the word of God as for example Matth. 10.28 Feare not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soule but rather feare him which is able to destroy both soule and body in hell 1 Cor. 6.20 Glorifie God in your body and in your spirit which are Gods And 1. Thes. 5.23 I pray God your whole spirit and soule and body bee preserued blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ. Q. Proue that God made the body of the dust A. It is written Gen. 2.7 That the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and 3.9 Dust thou art and vnto dust thou shalt returne This made Abraham confesse with great humility Gen. 18.27 I am but dust and ashes And it is alleaged by Dauid as an argument of Gods pity Psal. 103.13.14 Like as a father pitieth his children to the Lord pitieth them that feare him For hee knoweth our frame hee remembreth that we are dust Q. What is the difference betweene the creation of man and woman A. The difference is this First the man was made before the woman to note his authority her subiection as Saint Paul reasoneth 1 Tim. 2.13 For saith he Adam was first formed then Eue. As also to shew the neere affinity betweene man and man seeing as it is Acts 17.26 God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth Q. What is the second difference A. Secondly man was made of the dust primarily the woman secondarily in that she was taken out of him who was made of the dust for she was made of the rib of Adam Gen. 2 22. Not of the head nor of the foot to shew that God would neither haue her a ruler nor a seruant to her husband but a companion as shee is called Mal. 2.14 Againe it was a type of the Church the life and saluation whereof issued by water and blood out of the side of Christ as the woman receyued her being out of the side of the man Q. Proue that the body of man was made possibly immortall A. The body of man was in its selfe mortall yet by the appointment of God were it not for sinne had beene possibly immortall For God gaue vnto man possibility not to sinne and so consequently not to die as may be gathered by his generall threatning Genes 2.17 The day thou eatest thereof that is of
