Dialogu. It is evident that our first Parents were well acquainted with the doctrine of a sinners justification by Gods Atonement: for as soon as ever God had told them, that the seed of the woman should break the devils head-plot, he explained unto them the manner how the seed of the woman should do it, namely, by his Mediatorial sacrifice of Atonement.

It is out of doubt with us, that our first Parents were acquainted with the doctrine of justification, and that it was taught unto them by that first and famous publication of the doctrine of the Gospel, Gen. 3.15. wherein the person, office, and victorious efficacy of Christ, together with the victory of all Believers in him, over Satan, and all other both his and their enemies, was fully held forth; but we deny the doctrine of the Dialogue to be the doctrine of justification made known to Adam, which was here undertaken to be proved, but is only said, and not proved.
