1. OF THE SERPENT, WHICH, AFTER THE CURSE, MUST EAT EARTH,

3. WHETHER THE BEASTS (bEING THEY WERE IN PARADISE, AND,

MOREOVER, WHOLLY EARTHLY) DID ALSO FEED UPON PARA- DISICAL FRUIT?

4. WHETHER THE BEASTS, BEFORE THE CURSE, WERE SO WILD,.

Our Salvation in the Life of Jesus Christ in us.

ORTHY, much respected, very learned, and beloved friend and brother in Christ, our only life., I heartily wish unto you an Happy New- Year, that you may begin the same in a divine will, in the drawing of the Father to Christ, and likewise finish it in this time in an effectual working power of the spirit of Christ in His vineyard, and that many grapes may grow in the garden of Christ within you, and that God would be pleased to preserve you in the bundle of the living in this year, when the constellation of His wrath doth draw the sword, as I do not doubt but that you (as a co-operating branch on the vine Christ) will show forth yourself in good, new, and heavenly fruits.
