way_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n be_v only_o enter_v upon_o the_o begin_n of_o any_o year_n he_o count_v the_o same_o inclusive_o with_o the_o other_o year_n of_o his_o age_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o say_a year_n be_v not_o yet_o end_v but_o only_o begin_v have_v not_o we_o reason_n then_o to_o think_v that_o a_o very_a particular_a hide_a meaning_n lie_v wrap_v up_o

that_o by_o the_o man_n cain_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o by_o the_o young_a man_n his_o brother_n abel_n and_o will_v not_o this_o interpretation_n lie_v a_o fair_a ground_n for_o the_o open_n of_o many_o other_o mystery_n in_o a_o due_a and_o right_a order_n as_o among_o other_o thing_n we_o learn_v from_o hence_o that_o both_o the_o brother_n cain_n and_o abel_n do_v from_o the_o time_n of_o their_o conception_n until_o cain_n be_v kill_v inseparable_o continue_v together_o viz._n abel_n in_o cain_n for_o his_o vengeance_n and_o punishment_n but_o that_o after_o cain_n be_v kill_v

here_o the_o young_a son_n of_o zillah_n and_o his_o name_n now_o be_v tubal_n cain_n which_o signify_v the_o world_n of_o cain_n and_o his_o exercise_n and_o labour_n be_v in_o the_o earth_n viz._n
