(Hebrews 11:4)

1And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe which conceaved and bare Cain and sayd: I haue goten a ma of the LORde. 2And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde And Cain became a ploweman. 3And it fortuned in processe of tyme that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde. 4And Abell he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge: 5but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured. 6And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it? 7But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it.

8And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother.And as soone as they were in the feldes Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym

9And ye LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell am I my brothers keper? 10And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth. 11And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande. 12For when thou tyllest the grounde she shall heceforth not geve hyr power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon the erth. 13And Cain sayd vnto the LORde: my synne is greater then that it may be forgeven. 14Beholde thou castest me out thys day from of the face of the erth and fro thy syghte must I hyde my selfe ad I must be wandrynge and a vagabunde vpon the erth: Morover whosoever fyndeth me wyll kyll me, 15And the LORde sayd vnto hi Not so but whosoever sleyth Cain shalbe punyshed .vij. folde. And ye LORde put a marke vpo Cain that no ma yt founde hym shulde kyll hym.

16And Cain went out fro the face of the LORde and dwelt in the lande Nod on the east syde of Eden.
