Not higher that Hill nor wider looking round, Whereon for different cause the Tempter set Our second Adam in the Wilderness, To shew him all Earths Kingdomes and thir Glory.
O'Collins, Gerald. "The Second Adam." America 190.13 (2004): 10. Points of View Reference Center. Web. 23 Oct. 2014.
Milton was not the only one who preferred to mention "Adam" and "Second Adam" together. Just as Collins said, that was a solidly traditional way to call Christ the second Adam. Besides, they had characteristics in common. Milton wrote that Angel brought Adam to the peak of hill, revealing him the desperate future owing to his fault. Meanwhile, he compared the two hills, which was ironic and foreshadowed following conversation. Because Christ was the incarnation of Son of Glory, who aimed to save all people. He would be on the other high hill, because Satan wanted to test his mind. Here was a contrast between Adam's sin and second Adam's virtue.
