X. Concerning the estate of Man before his Fall § 1. By the common works of creation is manifested the will and power of the God-head THAT a Jer. 51.15 efficient vertue whereby the world was made and which in the b Psal 19.1 world as in its effect is manifested and declared doth not relate to the subsistence and Persons but to the essence and c Rev. 4.11 will of the Deity therefore though by the common work of creation is made d Rom. 1.20 known Gods eternal power and Godhead yet e Mat 16.16 17 not the mystery of the Trinity Not the mystery of the Trinity But when God doth form man to denote the excellency of his creature That clearly manifested this darkly presented in mans creation and to declare somwhat of the Mystery of the Trinity in the plurality of the persons he cals a councel as it were for mans creation and proposeth himself as the pattern of his Being Let us saith God f Gen 1.26 27. even Father Son and Holy Ghost Let us make man in our image after our likeness Created in Gods image thereby imprinting in man a conformity to the Divine nature yea some resemblance of the Personal subsistences § 2. Wherein the Image of God in man did consist This conformity unto the Divine Nature wherein man was created as the image of God did appear most of all in the Soul much in the body in the person and in the state of man before his fall Mans Soul in its nature did in some proportion or analogy represent God in his essence 1. In respect of his soul as being a substance a Gen. 2.7 Luke 23.46 Acts 7.59 spiritual and b Psal 49.15 Mat. 10.28 22.32 Phil. 1.23 1 Pet. 3.19 immortal as God is endued and adorned in his understanding with c Col. 3.10 perfect knowledg in his will with d Eccles 7.29 liberty in his affections with purity and in all his faculties with e Eph. 4.24 Luke 3.38 holiness and righteousness § 3. 2. In respect of his body That conformity in man to Divine Nature in respect of his body did consist in a a Rom. 5.13 secret harmony not visible shape of the parts and in an b Gen. 2.25 excellent beauty not external figure of the whole such was the beauty of the body from the vertuous lustre of the soul as is the light of the lantern from the bright shining of the candle Yea the members of mans body represent unto us the attributes of Gods nature and therefore as the parts of the Jews Tabernacle did c Heb 8.5 9.23 24. bear the image of heavenly mysteries so do the parts of mans body bear the image of the divine attributes so that we say the d 2 Chro. 16.9 Psal 11.4 Jer. 32.19 Eye of God to denote his wisdom and knowledg the e Deu. 33.27 Exod. 6 6. arm of God to intimate his power and strength the f Psal 139.10 145 16. hand of God to signifie his protection and providence 3. In res●ct of his person § 4. That part of Gods image in man which relates unto his person doth consist in that Sovenaignty and dominion given a Gen. 1.26 1 Cor. 11.7 him of God over the creatures being b G●n 2.8 placed in Paradice as his royal seat the c Gen. 2.19 beasts of the Earth there made subject to him And such is the excellency of this representation of God in Soveraignty and Dominion that d Psal 82.6 Kings and Judges of the earth are therefore called Gods This pecular to man above the woman And this part of Gods image is peculiar to man e 2 Cor. 11.8 9 above the woman who in all particulars else is equal to the man having her Original being correspondent to her Conjugal condition Woman othe wise equal to the man being f Gen 2 22. 1 Cor. 11.8 taken out of man not from the head or feet but the side and so to be not his Mistris or his Hand-maid but his g Gen. 2.18 Eph 5 22 23. Associate h Gen. 2.23 24 Eph 5.28.33 neer in relation and dear in affection each to other 4. In respect of his estate § 5. Thus man who was spiritual and immortal in his soul who had knowledg and wisdom in his understanding liberty and uprightness in his will integrity and moderation in his affections an harmony and soundness in his members Soveraignty and dominion in his person must needs have a felicity and blessedness of estate and so be in his proportion and measure a compleat a Gen. 9.6 image of God In all man a compleat image of God who could not know misery b Gen 2.17 Rom 6.23 till he knew sin and so not cease to be happy till he did cease to be holy § 6. Besides this Image of God in a conformity to his divine nature What the resemblance of the Trinity in man there is in man some likeness of the Trinity in a resemblance of the personal subsistences Which may be found either in those three
