REFUTATION.

REFVTATION.

FIRST I demand whence thou hast drawn this, that God created one man that he might place him in. Paradise. Verily of some secrete revelation, in which thou placest the perfection which thou seasest not to dream long since. I read that Adam was placed in that most pleasant Garden: but that this was the chief and determined purpose with the Lord, that he might place him there, I read in no place. Yea if thou wilt stand upon the very words, I rather read, that he was created to have dominion over every living creature. Therefore ⟨p. 43⟩the foundation of thine argumentation is fallen, as that which resteth not upon the authority of Scripture, but upon thine own fantastical dream. God sent a sleep upon Adam, did he respect that when he made him? he made him a coat of skin, but did he therefore create him? Seest thou how sottishly thou shouldest conclude? But thou wilt say that this Paradise is a figure of eternal life. But tell me from whence also haste thou that? because the Lord, and after him Paul and John, by the name of Paradise, understand celestial glory? Indeed a strong Argument, as though the Grecians understood not by this word all pleasant orchards, and that it is usual in Scripture with these like earthly shows to shadow eternal felicity.
