by_o their_o wool_n hair_n ordure_n tooth_n fat_a entrail_n etc._n etc._n of_o which_o i_o have_v write_v elsewhere_o next_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o agricolist_n from_o cain_n where_o industry_n

earth_n we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o constitution_n but_o may_v be_v fit_v with_o a_o suitable_a employment_n both_o advantageous_a to_o themselves_o and_o other_o neither_o can_v any_o parent_n be_v to_o seek_v in_o their_o election_n and_o recommendation_n of_o employment_n to_o their_o child_n because_o their_o infant_n year_n seem_v as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v allow_v to_o the_o parent_n during_o that_o time_n to_o weigh_v and_o consider_v of_o employment_n adequate_v for_o they_o now_o those_o other_o profession_n which_o fill_v the_o world_n with_o contest_v be_v not_o the_o proper_a employment_n which_o be_v transmit_v to_o we_o by_o abel_n and_o cain_n but_o rather_o adventitious_a and_o intrusive_a and_o we_o may_v see_v by_o their_o story_n how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v and_o have_v be_v to_o admit_v a_o diversion_n from_o those_o original_a rudiment_n especial_o in_o make_v religion_n their_o pretence_n as_o will_v be_v show_v in_o the_o next_o

abel_n slay_v he_o for_o which_o god_n be_v displease_v and_o banish_v he_o but_o yet_o cain_n seem_v to_o repent_v of_o the_o fact_n whereupon_o god_n in_o favour_n set_v a_o mark_n upon_o he_o that_o none_o shall_v kill_v he_o and_o he_o go_v and_o live_v in_o the_o east_n of_o eden_n where_o he_o beget_v child_n build_v a_o city_n and_o call_v it_o by_o his_o son_n name_n what_o have_v cain_n to_o do_v with_o a_o voluntary_a oblation_n of_o his_o labour_n for_o as_o yet_o we_o see_v no_o order_n therein_o from_o god_n as_o if_o he_o take_v a_o pride_n in_o they_o abel_n have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o begin_v as_o he_o but_o abel_n do_v not_o meddle_v in_o such_o matter_n till_o cain_n set_v he_o a_o example_n and_o this_o may_v be_v the_o chief_a reason_n why_o cainn_n sacrifice_n be_v reject_v whatever_o josephus_n affirm_v for_o hereby_o he_o do_v intrude_v to_o that_o which_o do_v not_o concern_v his_o vocation_n and_o afterward_o as_o it_o be_v to_o sit_v in_o judgement_n with_o god_n almighty_a by_o dispute_v what_o sacrifice_n be_v acceptable_a and_o what_o not_o and_o why_o god_n refuse_v one_o and_o accept_v the_o other_o and_o which_o shall_v be_v best_a the_o contemplative_a or_o active_a life_n in_o which_o controversy_n methinks_v i_o hear_v cain_n as_o discontent_v at_o god_n refusal_n say_v to_o abel_n be_v this_o that_o just_a god_n our_o father_n adam_n tell_v we_o of_o be_v it_o justice_n in_o that_o god_n think_v you_o to_o punish_v he_o so_o severe_o for_o eat_v a_o little_a fruit_n whereas_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o make_v he_o have_v as_o much_o power_n to_o hinder_v he_o from_o commit_v that_o offence_n against_o his_o creator_n be_v it_o justice_n think_v you_o to_o banish_v he_o from_o all_o felicity_n and_o make_v he_o the_o subject_n of_o all_o misery_n who_o but_o a_o little_a before_o be_v make_v his_o image_n and_o similitude_n how_o can_v it_o consist_v with_o a_o divine_a power_n to_o be_v so_o inconstant_a or_o be_v it_o justice_n towards_o i_o that_o see_v we_o be_v command_v to_o till_o the_o ground_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o our_o brow_n and_o according_a to_o that_o command_n i_o have_v dig_v and_o delve_v and_o from_o my_o industry_n and_o mere_o from_o a_o pious_a mind_n have_v dedicate_v my_o labour_n to_o he_o as_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n be_v it_o justice_n in_o he_o to_o refuse_v my_o sacrifice_n and_o accept_v of_o you_o brother_n abel_n for_o you_o lead_v a_o mere_a lazy_a life_n and_o offer_v nothing_o as_o the_o issue_n of_o your_o sweat_a labour_n or_o worthy_a to_o be_v esteem_v a_o sacrifice_n yet_o do_v this_o god_n accept_v of_o your_o laziness_n and_o reject_v my_o industry_n and_o therefore_o say_v cain_n i_o understand_v no_o more_o than_o this_o which_o be_v the_o targum_fw-la of_o jerusalem_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o create_v the_o world_n but_o yet_o he_o govern_v without_o any_o relation_n to_o good_a work_n and_o be_v mere_o partial_a for_o else_o why_o shall_v he_o accept_v thou_o and_o not_o accept_v i_o and_o the_o targum_fw-la of_o jerusalem_n make_v he_o more_o passionate_a and_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o judge_n of_o good_a or_o bad_a nor_o no_o world_n to_o come_v nor_o reward_n for_o the_o just_a nor_o punishment_n for_o the_o wicked_a nor_o that_o the_o world_n be_v create_v or_o govern_v by_o his_o mercy_n because_o say_v he_o my_o offering_n be_v not_o accept_v and_o thou_o be_v but_o abel_n be_v as_o positive_a in_o which_o the_o targum_n agree_v who_o reply_v and_o say_v there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o he_o be_v no_o accepter_n of_o person_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o righteous_a judge_n and_o that_o there_o be_v another_o world_n to_o come_v and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o just_a and_o a_o punishment_n for_o the_o wicked_a and_o this_o affirmative_a be_v seal_v with_o abel_n blood_n for_o in_o this_o heat_n of_o contest_v cain_n slay_v he_o and_o thereby_o make_v he_o the_o first_o martyr_n for_o religion_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o dispute_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o it_o introduce_v the_o question_n of_o the_o fundamental_o as_o at_o this_o day_n and_o here_o we_o see_v dispute_v turn_v into_o passion_n passion_n to_o rebellion_n the_o young_a brother_n that_o be_v the_o inferior_a against_o the_o elder_n or_o superior_a rebellion_n to_o murder_n and_o almost_o the_o high_a murder_n fratricide_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o riddle_n to_o we_o how_o god_n dispose_v of_o his_o justice_n for_o notwithstanding_o cain_n great_a offence_n against_o god_n and_o man_n by_o murder_v his_o innocent_a brother_n by_o his_o rugged_a answer_n to_o god_n am_n i_o his_o keeper_n and_o by_o his_o despair_n of_o god_n mercy_n yet_o i_o say_v cain_n be_v convince_v as_o appear_v by_o his_o acknowledgement_n that_o he_o have_v finned_a both_o in_o shed_v blood_n and_o deny_v god_n power_n goodness_n and_o justice_n order_n and_o disposure_n and_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v beyond_o forgiveness_n and_o great_a than_o he_o can_v bear_v god_n be_v so_o merciful_a as_o to_o set_v a_o mark_n upon_o cain_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o danger_n and_o cain_n have_v so_o much_o glory_n in_o the_o world_n as_o to_o build_v a_o city_n for_o a_o monument_n to_o his_o posterity_n whilst_o innocent_a abel_n never_o obtain_v any_o high_a memorial_n than_o a_o great_a stone_n call_v by_o that_o name_n 1_o sam._n 6.8_o and_o that_o blood_n which_o lie_v welter_v in_o the_o dust_n be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o righteous_a abel_n mark_v 23.35_o near_o 4000_o year_n after_o the_o shed_n of_o it_o from_o whence_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o unless_o we_o know_v the_o time_n circumstance_n occasion_n and_o secret_a reason_n and_o design_n of_o god_n disposure_n we_o can_v make_v any_o true_a collection_n who_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a by_o outward_a appearance_n action_n or_o accident_n for_o the_o good_a endure_v misery_n and_o be_v punish_v with_o infamous_a death_n the_o bad_a go_v free_a from_o impunity_n and_o enjoy_v felicity_n title_n honour_n preservation_n and_o pass_v in_o quiet_a to_o their_o grave_n and_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a have_v sometime_o a_o share_n of_o both_o nor_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o make_v a_o judgement_n or_o these_o reward_n because_o no_o man_n can_v punctual_o know_v the_o exact_a time_n of_o another_o conversion_n or_o perversion_n that_o secret_a be_v only_o know_v to_o god_n himself_o and_o we_o be_v not_o to_o
