Notes and observations upon the first three chapters of Genesis. Wherein are Briefly, but Fully and Clearly shewn. I. The original or divine Revelation of the one and only true sanctifying and saving Religion, that ever was, or ever will, or can be in the World, and what it wholly consists in. II. The original or divine Institution of the divinely instituted instructive and memorial Ordinances, and the true and only End for which they were instituted and required to be observed, that Mankind may be thereby preserved from perverting them to superstitious and destructive Purposes. III. The true spiritual and scriptural Account of the Fall, and of the Restoration of our first Parents and of all Mankind, by the Revelation of Jesus Christ. IV. The true Origin and only Cause of all the moral Evil or Wickedness that ever was committed in this World; and of the Misery which the impenitently Wicked suffer in the next. V. And the true and only Means that can be used for effectually purifying those corrupt Fountains, from which all the Wickedness and Misery that Mankind of all Ranks and Orders commit in this World, and suffer in the next, flow.
