After God had made all other creatures, He created man, male and female,⁸⁹ with reasonable and immortal souls,⁹⁰ endued with knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness, after His own image;⁹¹ having the law of God written in their hearts,⁹² and power to fulfil it:⁹³ and yet under a possibility of transgressing, being left to the liberty of their own will, which was subject unto change.⁹⁴ Beside this law written in their hearts, they received a command, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which while they kept, they were happy in their communion with God,⁹⁵ and had dominion over the creatures.⁹⁶
