Ans. Adam is called the image of God in regard of1 some sparkles of the image, which God had ingrafted in him, by creation he was not the image of the Essence of God, nor had any of his Essence. Again, man is said to be the image of God, in regard of the rule which God hath given him over his wife, whereas our Saviour CHRIST hath in him the Essence of his Father, being perfect God, having the God-head joined to his Man-hood, in one and the same person.
