Question 97 — The Preservation of the Individual

We next consider what belongs to the bodily state of the first man: first, as regards the preservation of the individual; second, as regards the preservation of the species.

Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether man in the state of innocence was immortal?

• (2) Whether he was impassible?
• (3) Whether he stood in need of food?
• (4) Whether he would have obtained immortality by the tree of life?
