INDEX TO VOL. IV.

ABILITIES of understanding ought to be different in

different men, why?

Adam, whereof made...

......

Where placed...

What immediate command he received from God
Called to name the creatures

How he instantly understood the meaning of God's
voice

Did not name the creatures all at one time...
When first taught to use sounds of his own for the
names of things

Learned the use of words by being called to name
the creatures ..

....

Not directed what particular names to give the

creatures

Named the woman

......

Did not make the reflection that the man and his
wife were inseparably to live together
When he first began to think, did not abound in-
stantly with a variety of conceptions.
Did not at first make long soliloquies

...

Placed at first in the midst of plain and few ob-

[blocks in formation]

Heard at first from God nothing but what was
most obvious and intelligible

His first day, not a day of hurry and confusion
The state of his original knowledge

How he began to make words..

Not endowed with a sudden apprehension of the
nature of the living creatures

Had no such knowledge of the animal world as
Milton supposes⚫

Adam was no philosopher.

[ocr errors]

Had no innate science

...

Nor innate sentiments of morality

All his ideas from sensation and reflection

Knew no more of God than what he had heard
or seen could occasion him to think of him....
Had no innate knowledge of himself
Had only a capacity of attaining just notions of his
duty

Not endowed with an innate astronomy
His judgment at first uninformed
How he became afraid of God··

How created in the image of God

....

...

....

Not endowed with an unerring understanding.
His capacity quick and lively

Had all the powers of a sound mind

Sufficiently endowed, if he would have kept God's
commandments.

Having done the will of God, might, by the tree of
life, have lived for ever...

With Eve at the time she ate of the forbidden
fruit...

Not superior to Eve in understanding to reject the
temptation....

Afraid because naked, why?..

Not at first sensible of God's omnipresence.

What he meant in the words he spake unto God
concerning his being naked

164

Not appointed to die the very day he transgressed 208

By eating the forbidden tree, did not become wise
as God is wise ....

218

Adam and Eve both made on the sixth day

Their first notions of things narrow and unim-
proved

...

How their knowledge enlarged..

How they formed their first language
Why first employed in the garden

The opinion of writers concerning their original
knowledge, groundless

Not surprised at hearing the serpent speak with

man's voice

51

52

Adam and Eve were both together when the serpent
spake to Eve.........

Believing the serpent, a proof of their ignorance..
Whilst they did not eat the forbidden fruit, they
continued in the hand of God's counsel

Their eating, or not eating, in itself, of no moment,
but for the commandment of God

Expected great advantage from their eyes being

.....

Their eyes, how opened after eating the forbidden

opened

[blocks in formation]

Did not make themselves aprons

Their being naked, not meant as to their clothing 166
Their high notions of the serpent reprehended
Knew not at first what enemy had hurt them....
Might, from what God had said to them, reflect
that the serpent did not speak of himself......
Knew not the full meaning of what was said to
them concerning the serpent....

176

176

Did not apprehend what God said to belong mere-
ly to the animal from whom the words came
which beguiled them.....

179

Not immediately expelled the garden

203

Could not have prevented their dying, after God's
sentence, by eating of the tree of life

Adversary who seduced our first parents...

The manner in which he was permitted to tempt them 137
Analogy runs through all the intelligences of God's creation
Androgynes, whence the fable of them....

Animals of the world, not named all at one time.

No names of them innate in Adam's mind
Nor dictated to him by the voice of God.

Appetites not the cause of the first sin......

Grosser arise from the corruptible body

Appointments (God's) do conspire to make up one uni-

versal design

BODY become mortal, presseth down the soul

Of what sort; it is of great consequence to the spi-
rit unto which it is joined...

Capacities of men border upon the angelic state.....
Not such as to be an unerring direction unto all

truth...

Christ, the person who is to conquer the old serpent..
Circumcision, its design
Coats of skins, in what manner appointed our first pa-

rents

Command concerning the forbidden tree suitable to
what God had made man...

Some positive one necessary to be given our first
parents ....

Concerning the forbidden tree, how to be under-
stood......

Why such a command given....

Clothing, what our first parents would naturally have
thought of ...................

That which God appointed our first parents, ne-
cessary for them

The creation shews a wonderful connection of all things

Counsel, God's, not being observed by Adam, subjected

DEATH, sentence repeated particularly against the man

Fit and proper, in the reason of things, after man
had sinned..

Directions, our first parents rejecting God's, was a great

God

Employment of our first parents in the garden
Eusebius, his true opinion of Moses' history..
Eve, what her first idea of death

Had no difficulty in understanding the serpent,
why, and how?

....

So called, why?....

Not tempted before she and Adam had observed in
the general, that none of the animal creation had
the gift of speech.

Tempted before she knew the animals naturally
could not speak ·

Not alone, without Adam, when the serpent spake
to her.....

Her duty to be governed by, and obey her hus-
band

Declared to be the mother of all living
