Q. 1. What communion had God with Man before the Fall?
A. Man then enjoyed the gracious presence and favour of God with him, which was better than life.
Q. 2. How doth it appear this was lest by the Fall?
A. It appears by Scripture-Testimony, That Adam lost it as to himself. Gen. 3.8 And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God, among the trees of the garden. And we in him. Eph. 2.12. At that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.
