2 How far forth the image of god was lost, and how farre it remaineth.
1The image of god in man was not wholly lost, but for the greatest part. For there remaineth in all as well the unregenerate, as regenerate, 1. The incorporeal substance of the soul together with the power thereof: likewise liberty in his will, which whatsoever it will, it will freely. 2. Many motions, as of those things which we know by sense, as are natural principles; some motions also of god, his will, and works. 3. Some prints of virtues, and an ablenes concerning outward Discipline and behaviour. 4. The fruition of many good things. 5. The Dominion also over the creatures is not wholly lost. He is able to rule many and to use them.
