him,
*Genesis 1:26 Furthermore God said, CHAPTER 5
Genesis
(God commanded the water and the earth to bring forth other creatures: but of man he said, Let US make: signifying, that God takes counsel with
his
wisdom
and
virtue,
purposing to make an excellent work above all the rest of his creation) Let CHAPTER 5
Genesis
US make man IN OUR IMAGE according to OUR LIK ENESS (This image and LIK ENESS OF GOD in man is expounded) and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the beasts, and over all the earth, and CHAPTER 5
Genesis
over everything that creepeth and moveth on the earth. *Ephesians 4:24 And put on the new man, which after God is created (AFTER THE IMAGE
OF
GOD)
unto
righteousness (The effect and end of the new creation), and true holiness. CHAPTER 5

*Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God
created
Adam,
in
the
LIK ENESS OF GOD made he him. *Genesis 9:6 W ho so sheddeth man’ s blood, by man shall his blood be CHAPTER 5
Genesis
shed: for in the IMAGE OF GOD hath he made man. *2 Corinthians 11:7 Have I committed an offence, because I abased myself, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you the Gospel of God freely? *1 Colossians 3:10 And have CHAPTER 5
Genesis
put on the new, which is renewed in knowledge after the IMAGE OF HIM that created him. 2Male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam in the day that they were created. (By giving them both one name, he CHAPTER 5
Genesis
notes the inseparable conjunction of man and wife) 3Now Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a child in his own likeness after his image, and called his name Seth. (As well concerning his creation, as his corruption) 4And the days of Adam, CHAPTER 5
Genesis
after he had begotten Seth, were eight hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters. *1 Chronicles 1:1 Adam, Seth, Enosh. 5So all the days that Adam lived, were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. 6And Seth lived an hundred CHAPTER 5
Genesis
and five years, and begat Enosh. (He proves Adam’ s generation by them which came of Seth, to show which is the true Church, and also what care God had over the same from the beginning, in that he continues his graces toward it by a continual CHAPTER 5
Genesis
succession) 7And Seth lived after he begat Enosh, eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. 8So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. (The chief cause of long life in the first CHAPTER 5
age, was the
Genesis
multiplication
of
mankind,
that
according to God’ s commandment at the beginning the world might be increased with people, which might universally praise him) 9Also Enosh lived ninety years, and begat Cainan. 10And Enosh lived after he begat CHAPTER 5
Genesis
Cainan, eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 11So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 12Likewise Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalalel. 13And Cainan CHAPTER 5
lived,
after
he
begat
Genesis
Mahalalel, eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters. 14So all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 15Mahalalel also lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared. 16Also Mahalalel lived, after he CHAPTER 5
Genesis
begat Jared, eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 17So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 18And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and begat Enoch. 19Then CHAPTER 5
Genesis
Jared lived, after he begat Enoch, eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 20So all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 21Also Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah. *Hebrews 11:5 CHAPTER 5
Genesis
By faith was Enoch translated, that he should not see death: (That he should not die) neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, that he had pleased God.22And Enoch walked with God, CHAPTER 5
Genesis
after he begat Methuselah, three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. (That is, he led an upright and godly life) 23So all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years. 24And Enoch walked with God, and he was no CHAPTER 5
Genesis
more seen: for God took him away. (To show that there was a better life prepared, and to be a testimony of the immortality of souls and bodies. As to inquire where he became, is mere curiosity) 25Methuselah also lived an hundred eighty and seven CHAPTER 5
Genesis
years, and begat Lamech. 26And Methuselah lived, after he begat Lamech, seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters. 27So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years, and he died. 28Then CHAPTER 5
Genesis
Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son, 29And called his name, Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and sorrow of our hands, as touching the earth, which the Lord hath cursed. (Lamech had CHAPTER 5
Genesis
respect to the promise and desired to see the deliverer which should be sent, and yet saw but a figure thereof, he also spake this by the spirit of prophecy because Noah delivered the Church and preserved it by his obedience) *Genesis 3:15 I will also CHAPTER 5
Genesis
put enmity (worst kind of hatred) between thee (He chiefy means Satan, by whose motion and craftly serpent deceived the woman) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall break thine head (That is, the power of sin and death), and CHAPTER 5
Genesis
thou shalt bruise his heel (Satan shall sting Christ and his members, but not overpower them) 30And Lamech lived, after he begat Noah, five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters. 31So all the days of Lamech were seven CHAPTER 5
Genesis
hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 32And Noah was five hundred years old. And Noah begat Shem, Ham and Japheth.
