world_n yea_o and_o the_o first_o of_o all_o that_o have_v this_o true_a faith_n as_o the_o only_a mean_n of_o his_o salvation_n for_o as_o for_o adam_n he_o afore_o his_o fall_n have_v not_o this_o faith_n neither_o shall_v it_o have_v save_v he_o but_o when_o the_o first_o mean_n fail_v he_o than_o come_v this_o faith_n as_o the_o second_o and_o more_o effectual_a mean_n of_o his_o salvation_n but_o abel_n be_v never_o in_o possibility_n to_o be_v save_v by_o any_o thing_n but_o by_o this_o faith_n and_o therefore_o abel_n faith_n have_v the_o first_o place_n of_o commendation_n and_o that_o in_o this_o verse_n abel_n faith_n be_v here_o commend_v for_o three_o thing_n 1._o in_o that_o he_o offer_v by_o it_o a_o great_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n 2._o by_o it_o he_o obtain_v testimony_n with_o god_n 3._o by_o it_o dead_a abel_n yet_o speak_v the_o 1._o effect_n of_o abel_n faith_n be_v thus_o set_v down_o by_o the_o h._n ghost_n by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v unto_o god_n a_o great_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n the_o ordinary_a exposition_n of_o those_o word_n be_v this_o that_o cain_n and_o abel_n come_v to_o offer_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n but_o only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o offer_v in_o that_o abel_n offer_v by_o faith_n and_o so_o do_v not_o cain_n this_o exposition_n though_o it_o be_v good_a yet_o it_o fit_v not_o the_o scope_n of_o this_o place_n nor_o the_o four_o of_o gen._n the_o right_a sense_n therefore_o seem_v to_o be_v this_o abel_n have_v faith_n this_o faith_n move_v he_o to_o testify_v his_o thankful_a heart_n to_o god_n this_o he_o do_v by_o offer_v unto_o god_n the_o best_a and_o costly_a sacrifice_n that_o he_o can_v namely_o the_o first_o fruit_n and_o fat_a of_o his_o sheep_n whereas_o unbelieved_a cain_n have_v no_o love_n to_o testify_v unto_o god_n bring_v only_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o ground_n not_o of_o the_o best_a as_o abel_n do_v but_o whatsoever_o come_v first_o to_o hand_n this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o whole_a let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a point_n lay_v down_o in_o this_o effect_n and_o they_o be_v three_o 1._o that_o cain_n and_o abel_n offer_v that_o be_v serve_v god_n 2._o that_o they_o offer_v sacrifice_n 3._o that_o abel_n offer_v a_o better_a than_o cain_n the_o first_o point_n contain_v their_o service_n in_o general_a the_o second_o their_o service_n in_o particular_a the_o three_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o service_n wherein_o especial_o will_v appear_v the_o excellency_n of_o abel_n faith_n first_o abel_n and_o cain_n the_o two_o first_o brethren_n in_o the_o world_n offer_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o true_a god_n how_o learn_v they_o this_o for_o they_o have_v no_o scripture_n it_o be_v pen_v many_o year_n after_o namely_o by_o moses_n first_o of_o all_o i_o answer_v when_o their_o parent_n adam_n and_o eve_n have_v fall_v god_n give_v they_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n genes_n 3.15_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o our_o first_o parent_n receive_v this_o covenant_n and_o believe_v the_o promise_n and_o this_o their_o faith_n teach_v they_o how_o to_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n aright_o you_o will_v say_v thus_o adam_n &_o eve_n learn_v of_o god_n but_o how_o come_v this_o to_o cain_n &_o abel_n i_o answer_v when_o they_o have_v be_v thus_o instruct_v of_o god_n adam_n as_o a_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n teach_v the_o same_o religion_n and_o deliver_v the_o same_o doctrine_n to_o his_o child_n and_o by_o it_o they_o be_v teach_v what_o to_o who_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v it_o neither_o by_o scripture_n nor_o revelation_n nor_o their_o own_o invention_n but_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o their_o parent_n hence_o let_v all_o parent_n learn_v a_o lesson_n of_o adam_n the_o first_o parent_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n namely_o to_o procure_v the_o good_a of_o their_o child_n he_o nourter_v his_o child_n excellent_o 1._o he_o provide_v for_o they_o till_o they_o come_v to_o age_n 2._o then_o he_o leave_v they_o not_o but_o appoint_v they_o their_o calling_n for_o one_o be_v a_o husbandman_n and_o the_o other_o a_o shepherd_n 3._o not_o thus_o only_o but_o he_o teach_v they_o to_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n both_o in_o their_o calling_n &_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o he_o teach_v they_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n in_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n unto_o god_n all_o this_o do_v adam_n so_o must_v thou_o do_v with_o the_o child_n which_o god_n have_v give_v thou_o 1._o provide_v for_o they_o careful_o till_o they_o be_v of_o age_n take_v ●eed_o they_o miscarry_v not_o any_o way_n for_o want_n of_o thing_n needful_a 2._o so_o bring_v they_o up_o as_o that_o they_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o live_v in_o some_o godly_a call_n whereby_o to_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o do_v good_a in_o his_o church_n and_o that_o call_n thou_o must_v appoint_v he_o according_a to_o the_o fitness_n of_o his_o gift_n adam_n appoint_v they_o not_o both_o one_o call_v but_o diverse_a calling_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o gift_n and_o thou_o must_v see_v it_o be_v a_o lawful_a and_o honest_a call_n for_o so_o be_v both_o these_o then_o 3._o the_o great_a matter_n of_o all_o these_o teach_v they_o religion_n and_o the_o true_a manner_n of_o fear_v &_o worship_v god_n that_o as_o by_o the_o two_o first_o thy_o child_n may_v live_v well_o in_o this_o world_n so_o by_o this_o he_o may_v be_v make_v a_o heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n adam_n be_v the_o first_o father_n &_o father_n of_o we_o all_o let_v all_o then_o follow_v he_o in_o this_o practice_n &_o if_o we_o follow_v he_o in_o one_o follow_v he_o in_o both_o diverse_a will_v be_v as_o careful_a for_o their_o body_n &_o for_o their_o calling_n as_o adam_n be_v but_o how_o few_o be_v as_o careful_a to_o teach_v they_o religion_n for_o the_o preferment_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o life_n eternal_a but_o parent_n must_v have_v care_n of_o both_o these_o else_o they_o shall_v answer_v for_o their_o child_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n &_o though_o he_o perish_v in_o his_o own_o sin_n yet_o his_o blood_n will_v god_n require_v at_o the_o father_n hand_n for_o god_n make_v he_o a_o father_n in_o his_o room_n and_o he_o discharge_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o father_n unto_o their_o child_n second_o in_o that_o cain_n offer_v as_o well_o as_o abel_n hence_o we_o learn_v diverse_a instruction_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o common_a opinion_n that_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v due_o and_o true_o in_o his_o call_n do_v no_o man_n harm_n but_o give_v every_o man_n his_o own_o and_o so_o do_v all_o his_o life_n long_o god_n will_v receive_v he_o and_o save_v his_o soul_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o if_o man_n do_v thus_o it_o be_v good_a and_o commendable_a and_o they_o must_v be_v exhort_v to_o continue_v but_o if_o they_o stand_v upon_o this_o for_o salvation_n they_o cast_v away_o their_o soul_n for_o mark_v here_o cain_n be_v a_o man_n that_o walk_v in_o a_o honest_a call_n and_o more_o than_o that_o he_o take_v pain_n &_o labour_v in_o it_o which_o all_o man_n do_v not_o which_o have_v honest_a calling_n and_o more_o than_o all_o these_o when_o abel_n offer_v he_o come_v and_o worship_v god_n also_o and_o he_o do_v outward_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o no_o man_n can_v blame_v he_o but_o only_o god_n that_o see_v his_o heart_n and_o for_o all_o this_o yet_o be_v he_o a_o wicked_a cain_n and_o that_o be_v all_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n give_v he_o 1._o john_n 3.12_o then_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o to_o walk_v in_o a_o man_n call_v just_o and_o upright_o do_v no_o man_n harm_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n cain_n do_v it_o and_o yet_o be_v curse_v we_o must_v then_o go_v further_o than_o cain_n else_o we_o shall_v go_v with_o cain_n to_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v reason_v not_o with_o thyself_o i_o work_v hard_a and_o follow_v my_o call_n i_o hurt_v no_o man_n thus_o can_v cain_n reason_n and_o yet_o but_o

for_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n god_n provide_v that_o for_o his_o church_n which_o be_v meet_v for_o it_o but_o consider_v that_o the_o church_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o some_o respect_n
