Westminster Larger Catechism in modern English question number seventeen:

Q. 17. How did God create people?

A. After God had made all other creatures, He created mankind male and female. He formed the body of the man out of dirt of the earth and the woman out of the rib of the man. He endued them with living, rational, and immortal souls. He made them after His own image, in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, having the law of God written in their hearts, ability to obey it, and dominion over the creatures; yet they were able to fall from that state of righteousness.
