isaac_n and_o here_o a_o cain_n before_o a_o abel_n by_o his_o fond_a mother_n eva._n whereas_o god_n almighty_a look_v not_o at_o the_o outward_a feature_n and_o beauty_n of_o the_o body_n but_o at_o the_o inward_a accomplishment_n and_o rectitude_n of_o mind_n at_o the_o sincerity_n uprightness_n and_o integrity_n of_o heart_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v as_o justin_n martyr_n well_o express_v it_o that_o god_n rather_o accept_v of_o abel_n than_a cain_n offer_v scil_n because_o abel_n give_v god_n of_o the_o best_a but_o cain_n offer_v the_o very_o worst_a of_o his_o flock_n and_o fruit_n justin_n martyr_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d etc._n etc._n and_o think_v to_o put_v god_n off_o with_o any_o small_a present_a whereas_o devout_a abel_n think_v nothing_o too_o good_a too_o rich_a or_o too_o costly_a for_o that_o god_n who_o have_v be_v the_o bountiful_a donor_n and_o bestower_n of_o all_o that_o he_o enjoy_v cain_n be_v willing_a to_o live_v upon_o and_o pardon_v

rage_n stop_v here_o but_o present_o in_o despite_n and_o revenge_n to_o god_n the_o discoverer_n of_o his_o hypocrisy_n he_o plot_v the_o felonious_a murder_n and_o slaughter_n of_o one_o of_o his_o innocent_a and_o chief_a creature_n nor_o be_v he_o ever_o satisfy_v until_o he_o have_v imbrue_v his_o hand_n in_o his_o brother_n vermilion_a blood_n and_o this_o shall_v caution_n we_o all_o not_o to_o retain_v the_o least_o envy_n and_o malice_n in_o our_o breast_n against_o any_o person_n whatever_o but_o especial_o not_o against_o our_o brethren_n friend_n and_o relation_n lest_o that_o these_o embers_o and_o spark_n break_v forth_o at_o last_o into_o a_o unquenchable_a flame_n it_o be_v a_o ancient_n but_o true_a say_n that_o old_a anger_n prove_v curse_v and_o irreconcilable_a

the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o our_o wrath_n ephes_n 4.26_o but_o stop_v we_o evil_a beginning_n in_o a_o pious_a zeal_n and_o prevent_v we_o such_o malicious_a design_n and_o purpose_n by_o a_o godly_a care_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o occasion_n of_o these_o word_n the_o lord_n set_v a_o mark_n upon_o cain_n 2._o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o
