Our present work, as hath been often declared, is for the establishment of the Faith of them, who may be attempted, if not brought into danger to be seduced by the slights of some who lye in wait to deceive, and ⟨p. 152⟩the clamours of others who openly drive the same design. What therefore the Scripture plainly and clearly reveals in this matter, is the subject of our present enquiry. And either in so doing, as occasion shall be offered, we shall obviate, or in the close of it remove those Sophisms that the Sacred Truth now proposed to consideration hath been attempted withal.

1. That Adam being made upright, sinned against God, and all mankind, all his posterity in him. Gen. 1. 27. So God created man in hit own Image, in the Image of God created he him, Male and Female created he them, Gen. 3. 11. And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the Tree whereof I commanded thee that then shouldst not eat? Eccles. 7. 29. ⟨p. 153⟩Lo, this only have I found, that God made man upright, but he hath sought out many inventions.
