Chapter 2 - The Creation of Man
We confess and acknowledge that our God has created man, i.e.., our first father, Adam,
after his own image and likeness, to whom he gave wisdom, lordship, justice, free will,
and self-consciousness, so that in the whole nature of man no imperfection could be found.
From this dignity and perfection man and woman both fell; the woman being deceived by the
serpent and man obeying the voice of the woman, both conspiring against the sovereign
majesty of God, who in clear words had previously threatened death if they presumed to eat
of the forbidden tree.
