that is, not only the nature of man corrupted through sin by death, but the degree of the image of God in mans nature before the fall, and before glorification, with that which followeth in glorification.

1Christ is called the image of God in a far different and divers manner: 1. In respect of his divine nature; whereby he is the image of his eternal Father, coeternal, consubstantial, and coequal with his Father in Essence, essential properties, and works; and is that person by which the Father doth mediately reveal himself in creating and preserving all things, but chiefly in saving the Elect. And he is indeed called the image not of himself, or of the holy Ghost, but of his Father, because he was from all eternity born, not of himself, or of the holy Ghost, but of the Father.§2 2In respect of his humane nature, whereby he is the image of God, created indeed, yet by many degrees, and in number of gifts, 3as in wisdom, righteousness, power, glory, far exceeding all Angels and men and after a particular manner resembling his Father in doctrine, virtues, and actions; according as himself saith, Philip, he that hath seen me hath seen my Father. 4But Angels and men are termed the image of God, as well in respect of the Son and the holy Ghost, as of the Father, whereas it is said, Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness: and that not for the likeness or equality of essence, but for the agreeing of some properties; not in degree or essence but in kind and imitation. For there is something created by God in Angels and men, proportionable to the counterfeit and pattern of the divine essence.
