in : “And the Lord took one of hi*

"'a* tiio tib taken from the right or

he *ii«eo»^s:l very gravely and then
proceeds to nak—•‘Why wan Eva form

i* curious, if not convincing. •* Had
Eve been created of the dus* of the

been*, stronger to Adam. Had she been
created out of his foot, he might have
despised or trampled upon her, as be

should be token from the middle of A*
dam’* body, on which account ho could
uoi but havo u due esteem for her.*’
tl is said, that, while the celebrated
