6. God, who entered into this Covenant with him, is to be considered 1as already pleased, and a friend with him, not as a reconciled Father through Christ. Therefore here needed no Mediator, nor comfort, because the soul could not be terrified with any sin. Here needed not one to be either medius, to take both natures; or Mediator, to perform the offices of such an one. In this estate that speech of Luther's was true, which he denieth in ours, Dens est absolute considerandus. Adam dealt with him as absolutely considered, not relatively: with us, God without Christ is a consuming fire, and we are combustible matter, chaff and straw: we are loathsome to God, and God terrible to us; but Adam he was Deo ⟨p. 130⟩proximo amicus, & Paradisi colonus, as Tertullian, and therefore was in familiarity and communion with him.
