Question
4.
WAs
it
practised
from
the
Creation
to
Moses
?
Answere
.
Yea.
First
,
God
instructed
Adam
.
Secondly
,
Adam
and
the
religious
Patriatres
in
the
Church
instructed
their
potterity
from
age
to
age
.
Question
5.
Did
God
instruct
Adam
?
Answere
.
Yea
,
both
before
,
and
after
his
fall
.
Question
6.
Shew
that
God
instructed
Adam
before
his
fall
.
Answere
.
This
may
be
the
men
two
dayes
.
First
,
by
reason
.
Secondly
,
by
the
particular
instructions
which
he
gave
to
Adam
.
Question
7.
By
what
reason
can
you
shew
that
God
instructed
Adam
before
his
fall
.
Answere
.
By
these
two
.
First
,
as
no
man
knoweth
the
thinges
of
man
,
saue
the
spirit
of
man
which
is
in
him
:
euen
so
the
thinges
of
God
knoweth
no
man
,
but
the
spirite
of
God
,
1.
Cor.
2.11
.
and
therfore
if
God
had
not
instructed
Adam
he
could
not
haue
knowne
nor
done
the
will
of
God
.
Secondly
,
where
no
Law
is
,
there
is
no
transgrassion
,
Rom.
4.15
.
Therefore
if
God
had
not
instructed
Adam
,
and
giuen
him
lawes
,
hée
could
not
haue
sinned
;
for
sinne
is
nothing
el●●
but
the
transgression
of
the
Law
,
1.
Iohn
.
2.4
.
Question
8.
What
then
bee
the
particular
instructions
which
God
gaue
to
Adam
before
his
fall
?
Answere
.
They
are
diuers
,
and
namely
,
these
fiue
.
First
,
that
mankind
should
bee
multiplied
in
the
holy
estate
of
mariage
,
Matth.
9.5
.
Gen.
2.24
.
therefore
shall
a
man
leaue
his
father
and
his
mother
,
and
shall
cleaue
to
his
wife
,
and
they
shal
be
one
flesh
,
and
all
other
multiplication
of
mankind
out
of
the
holy
estate
of
marriage
,
is
ordinarily
accompanied
with
some
iudgement
of
God
.
Secondly
,
that
hee
should
haue
authority
and
dominion
ouer
the
fishes
of
the
Sea
,
and
ouer
the
soules
of
the
heauen
,
and
ouer
euery
beat
that
moueth
vpon
the
earth
.
Gen.
1.28
.
Thirdly
,
that
his
meate
should
bee
the
hearbes
of
the
earth
,
and
the
fruit
of
the
trées
,
Gen.
1.29
.
for
man
lineth
not
by
bread
onely
,
but
by
euery
word
that
proceedeth
out
of
the
mouth
of
God
,
Matth.
4.4
.
Fourthly
,
that
he
should
not
liue
i●ely
,
but
dresse
and
keepe
the
garden
of
Eden
.
Gen.
2.15
.
Fiftly
,
that
hee
should
not
eate
of
the
fruite
of
the
tree
of
knowledge
of
god
and
euill
,
vpon
paine
of
death
.
Gen.
2.17
.
for
in
the
day
thou
eatest
thereof
,
thou
shalt
surely
dye
.
Question
9.
Shew
me
now
also
what
instructions
God
gaue
to
Adam
after
his
fall
.
Answere
.
God
gaue
Adam
these
fiue
instructions
after
his
fall
.
First
,
he
instructed
Adam
in
the
mistery
of
redemption
,
Gen.
3.15
.
when
God
speaking
to
that
old
Serpent
(
called
the
Diuell
and
Sathan
.
Apoc.
12.9
.
)
sayeth
thus
.
I
will
put
enmitie
betweene
thee
and
the
woman
,
and
betweene
thy
seed
and
her
seed
,
it
shall
breake
thy
head
,
and
thou
shalt
bruise
his
heele
:
when
he
sayeth
,
it
shall
breake
thy
head
,
his
meaneth
the
seede
of
the
woman
,
that
is
,
Christ
,
the
seede
of
the
Virgine
Mary
,
who
at
his
first
comming
conqueted
Sathan
,
and
deliuered
the
faithfull
out
of
his
thraldome
.
Hebrewes
2.14
.
For
as
much
then
as
the
children
are
partakers
of
flesh
and
bloud
,
he
also
himselfe
like
wise
tooke
part
of
the
same
,
that
through
dearly
he
might
destroy
him
that
had
the
power
of
death
,
that
is
,
the
Deuill
,
and
deliuer
them
,
who
through
seare
of
death
,
wereall
their
life
time
subiect
to
bondage
.
Secondly
,
he
instructed
Adam
to
offer
sacrifices
,
which
were
types
and
shadowes
of
the
sartifice
of
Christs
body
to
be
offced
to
make
satisfaction
to
God
for
the
sins
of
all
the
faith
full
.
Thirdly
,
he
taught
Adam
that
in
offering
of
sacrifices
,
hee
must
by
faith
apprehend
Christ
,
who
was
shadowed
and
prefigured
in
those
sacufices
,
or
else
he
could
not
be
acceptable
to
God
:
whereupon
it
is
written
,
Heb.
11.4
.
that
by
faith
Abell
offered
vnto
God
a
more
excellent
sacrifice
then
Cain
.
Fourthly
,
he
taught
Adam
,
that
those
were
acceptable
to
God
which
beleeuedin
the
promised
seede
of
the
woman
,
that
is
,
in
Christ
,
who
was
to
come
,
and
that
those
were
not
acceptable
to
God
which
beleeued
not
in
Christ
to
come
,
and
so
it
was
knowne
euer
since
the
fall
of
Adam
that
some
beleeued
in
Christ
,
and
mere
saued
,
and
some
did
not
beleeue
in
Christ
,
and
there
sore
were
reiected
of
God
.
Fiftly
,
when
men
beganne
to
bée
multiplyed
vpon
the
earth
,
the
Lord
forbade
the
faithfull
to
make
mariages
with
the
vnbelauers
,
as
it
appeareth
by
the
teproofe
of
such
marriages
Gen.
6.2
.
and
this
is
confirmed
in
the
new
Testament
,
which
disagraeth
not
from
the
old
.
2.
Cor.
6.14
.
Bee
yee
not
vnequally
yoked
together
with
vnbeleeuers
.
Question
10.
Seeing
these
instructions
giuen
to
Adam
presently
after
his
fall
,
are
fundamental
points
of
true
religion
,
and
the
fourth
instruction
is
the
effect
of
the
three
former
,
declare
the
same
more
euidently
,
that
it
being
better
knowne
,
may
make
a
deeper
impression
in
our
mindes
.
Answere
.
This
may
bee
plainely
declared
foure
wayes
.
First
,
by
the
examples
of
Cain
and
Abel
,
because
Abell
by
faith
was
accepted
,
Heb.
11.4
.
and
Cain
for
his
infidelity
was
reiected
,
1.
Iohn
.
3.12
.
for
it
was
faith
that
made
Abels
worke
,
that
is
his
sacrifice
acceptable
,
Heb.
11.4
.
and
it
was
want
of
faith
,
that
made
Kaines
worke
,
that
is
,
his
sacrifice
vnacceptable
to
God
,
because
without
faith
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
,
Heb.
11.6
.
Secondly
,
the
faithfull
though
declining
,
are
called
the
sonnes
of
God
,
and
the
posterity
of
vnbelécuers
,
are
called
the
daughters
of
men
.
Genes.
6.2
.
Thirdly
,
this
difference
of
beléeuers
and
vnbeleeuers
,
was
typically
shadowed
out
in
the
distinction
of
cleane
and
vncleane
beasts
,
Gen.
7.2
.
where
Noah
is
commaunded
to
take
into
the
Arke
of
euery
cleane
beast
seuen
,
and
of
vnclean
two
.
And
a
plain
interpretation
hereof
wee
haue
,
Act.
10.15
.
where
the
Lord
forbiddeth
Peter
to
count
those
Gentiles
vncleane
,
whose
hearts
God
had
purified
by
faith
,
Acts.
15.9
.
Fourthly
,
since
the
fall
of
Adam
,
there
was
no
saluation
to
any
but
by
faith
in
Christ
;
for
all
the
promises
of
God
are
yea
and
Amen
in
Christ
:
2.
Cor.
1.20
.
and
therefore
the
faithfull
Patriarkes
that
liued
before
and
after
the
flond
,
are
commended
,
Heb.
11.5
.
and
the
vnbeleeuers
of
those
times
are
omitted
.
Question
11.
You
haue
shewed
that
God
instructed
Adam
both
before
and
after
his
fall
.
shew
me
now
that
the
faithfull
haue
instructed
their
posterity
from
age
to
age
.
Answere
.
This
may
be
shewed
by
an
orderly
rehearsall
of
some
special
faithfull
persons
from
generation
to
generation
.
First
,
Adam
instructed
his
childri
in
the
mestery
of
redemption
,
other
wise
they
could
not
haue
offered
sacrifice
as
they
did
,
Gen.
4.3
.
Secondly
those
patriarkes
mentioned
,
Gen.
5.
were
Instructors
of
others
,
as
the
commendation
of
their
faith
.
Heb.
11.5
.
may
perswade
vs
.
And
it
is
particularly
written
of
Enoch
in
the
Epistle
of
Iude
,
ver.
14.
and
of
Noah
,
2.
Pet.
2.5
.
that
they
mere
teachers
of
others
.
Thirdly
,
Abraham
instructed
his
family
:
for
when
Lor
was
taken
and
tarried
away
captiue
,
hee
tooke
out
of
his
owne
family
318.
persons
,
which
he
had
instructed
in
religion
,
and
followed
after
the
foure
kings
vnto
Dan
put
them
to
flight
,
and
brought
again
Lot
,
Gen.
14.14
.
Also
the
Lord
minding
to
destroy
Sodom
reuealed
his
purpose
to
Abraham
,
and
sayd
thus
:
Gen.
18.19
.
For
I
know
him
that
he
will
commaund
his
children
and
his
hou
shold
after
him
,
that
they
kape
the
way
of
the
Lord
.
Fourthly
,
the
commendation
of
Lot
,
2.
Pet
2.7
.
Witnesseth
his
raligious
care
in
this
point
.
Fiftly
,
Isaak
was
carefull
for
his
sonnes
,
that
they
should
be
religious
,
and
was
grieued
for
the
profanenes
of
Esau
.
Gen.
26.35
.
Sixthly
,
Iacob
was
religious
himselfe
,
and
therefore
carefull
for
the
instruction
of
his
children
.
Seuenthly
,
Iob
liuing
in
the
daies
of
Iaakob
,
or
neere
that
time
,
was
carefull
that
his
children
should
feare
God
,
as
it
appeareth
,
in
that
he
offered
satrifice
for
them
whiles
they
were
feasting
.
Iob.
1.5
.
Eightly
,
and
lastly
,
when
the
Israelites
were
trady
to
depart
out
of
Egypt
,
the
Lord
commaunded
them
,
that
when
their
children
should
aske
them
why
they
keepe
the
Passeouer
yearely
,
they
should
teach
them
the
reason
thereof
.

in
religion
was
vsed
from
the
creation
to
Moses
,

of

.
Secondly
,
by
the
