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 a_o horse_n a_o picture_n in_o the_o wall_n a_o image_n grave_v in_o stone_n or_o wood_n yea_o we_o see_v even_o the_o image_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n in_o the_o water_n yet_o we_o may_v
