SECT. I.
Concerning Original Righteousness; and whether our first Parents were created with Righteousness or moral Rectitude of Heart?
THE Doctrine of Original Righteousness, or the Creation of our first Parents with holy Principles and Dispositions, has a close Connection, in several Respects, with the Doctrine of Original Sin. Dr.T.—was sensible of this; and accordingly he strenuously opposes this Doctrine, in his Book against Original Sin. And therefore in handling the Subject, I would in the first Place remove this Author's main Objection against this Doctrine; and then show how the Doctrine may be inferred from the Account which Moses gives us, in the three first Chapters of Genesis.
