Transcription

Adam, before he had awakened the sinful essences, was an inhabitant in one of the heavens, which had the title of a Paradise, because of its serene and fruitful soul. But yet God’s local habitation was not here; but he sent forth his influencing mist, and here did with Adam and Eve frequently commune, while they were undefiled: but they being once found in the deprivation of this purity, this heaven could not bear their corruptible image, for the Worm of Mortality could not here live. Upon which God said, Let them out of those mansions that are near to me: let them be driven for the present.
