WLC 17: How did God create man?

Answer: After God had made all other creatures, he created man male and female1; formed the body of the man of the dust of the ground2, and the woman of the rib of the man3, endued them with living, reasonable, and immortal souls4; made them after his own image5, in knowledge6, righteousness, and holiness7; having the law of God written in their hearts8, and power to fulfil it9, and dominion over the creatures10; yet subject to fall11.
