in the Field, that Cain rofe up against Abel his Brother, and SLEW him.

9 And the LORD faid unto Cain, Where is Abel thy Brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my Brother's Keeper?

12 Not as CAIN who was of that wicked one, and flew his Brother: And wherefore flew he him? Because his own Works were EVIL, and his Brother's RIGHTEOUS.

Jude II Wo unto them; for they have gone in the Way of CAIN, and ran greedily after the Error of Balaam.

10 And he said, What haft thou done? the Voice of thy Brother's Blood cryeth unto me from the Ground.

11 And now art thou cursed from the Earth, which hath opened her Mouth to receive thy Brother's Blood from thy Hand.

12 When thou tilleft the Ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her Strength. A Fugitive and a Vagabond. fhalt thou be in the Earth.

13 And Cain faid unto the LORD, My Punishment iş greater than I can bear.

14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this Day from the Face of the Earth: and from thy Face shall I be hid, and I shall be a Fugitive and a Vagabond in the Earth, and it. shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall flay

me.

15 And the Lord faid unto him, Therefore whofoever flayeth Cain, Vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold. And the LORD set a Mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

16 And Cain went out from the Prefence of the LORD, and dwelt in the Land of Nod, on the East of Eden.

ND ENOCH WALKED with GOD after he begat Methuselah three hundred Years, and begat Sons and Daughters.

23 And all the Days of Enoch were three hundred fix ty and fiye Years.

* Heb xi. s By Faith ENOCH was TRANSLATED that he should not fee Death; and was not found, because God had TRANSLATED him: for before his Tranflation he had this Testimony, that he PLEASED GOD.

6 But without FAITH it is impoffible to please him: for he that cometh to GOD, must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently SEEK him.

Jude 14 ENOCH also the SEVENTH from Adam prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD cometh with ten thousands of his Saints,

ND it came to pass, when MEN began to multiply on the Face of the Earth, and Daughters

were born unto them.

2 That the Sons of God saw the Daughters of Men, that they were fair; and they took them Wives of all which they chose.

3 And the LORD faid, My SPIRIT shall not always strive with Man, for that he also is Flesh: yet his Days shall be an HUNDRED and TWENTY Years.

4 There were GIANTS in the Earth in those Days; and also after that, when the Sons of Gop came in unto the Daughters of Men, and they bare Children to them: the fame became mighty Men, which were of old, Men of Renown.

5 $ And God faw that the Wickedness of Man was great in the Earth, and that every Imagination of the Thoughts of his Heart was only Evil continually.

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made Man on the Earth, and it grieved him at his Heart.

7 And the LORD faid, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the Face of the Earth, both Man and Beast, and the creeping Thing, and the Fowls of the Air: for it repenteth me that I have

20 These are the Things which defile a Man..

Pfal. xiv. 2 The Lord looked down from Heaven upon the Children

of Men; to fee if there were any that did understand, and seek GoD.

3 They are all gone afide, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Pfal. lviii. 2 Yea, in Heart you work Wickedness, you weigh the violence of your Hands in the Earth.

3 The Wicked are estranged from the Womb, they go aftray afsoon as they be born, speaking lies.

4 Their Poison is like the Poifon Serpent; they are like the deaf Adder that stoppeth her Ear.

9 These are the Generations of Noah: Noah was a just Man, and perfect in his Generations, and Noah walked with GOD.

10 And Noah begat three Sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

The Earth also was corrupt before God; and the Earth was filled with Violence.

12 And God looked upon the Earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all Flesh had corrupted his Way upon the Earth.

13 And God faid unto Noah, The End of all Flesh is come before me; for the Earth is filled with Violence through them: and behold, I will destroy them with the Earth.

14 Make thee an Ark of Gopher-wood: Rooms shalt thou make in the Ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with Pitch.

15 And this is the Fashion which thou shalt make it of: The Length of the Ark shall be three hundred Cubits, the Breadth of it fifty Cubits, and the Heighth of it thirty Cu

bits.

16 A Window shalt thou make to the Ark, and in a Cubit shalt thou finish it a bove; and the Door of the Ark shalt thou set in the Side thereof: with lower, fecond, and third Stories shalt thou make it.

Matth. xxiv. 37 As the Days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.

38 For as in the Days that were before the Flood, they were eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in Marriage, until the Day that Noe entred into the Ark,

39 And knew not until the Flood came, and took them all away; fo shall also the coming of the Son of Man be

4 And saying, Where is the Promife of his coming? for fince the Fathers fell asleep, all Things continue as they were from the Beginning of the Creation.

s For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of GOD the Heavens were of old, and the Earth standing out of the Water, and

in the Water.

6 Whereby the World that then was, being overflowed with Water, perished.

7 But the Heavens and the Earth

which are now, by the fame Word are kept in store, referved unto Fire, against the Day of Judgment, and Perdition of ungodly Men.

16 Which were cut down out of

Breath of Life, from under Heaven: and every thing that is in the Earth shall die.

18 But with thee will I establish my Covenant: and thou shalt come into the Ark; thou, and thy Sons, and thy Wife, and thy Sons Wives with thee.

Rom. i. 18 For the Wrath of GOD is revealed from Heaven against all Ungodliness, and Unrighteousness of Men, who hold the Truth in Unrighteousness.

21 Because that when they knew GOD, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their Imaginations, and their

foolish Heart was darkned.

19 And of every living Thing of all Flesh, two of every fort shalt thou bring into the Ark, to keep them alive with thee: they shall be Male and Female.

20 Of Fowls after their Kind, and of Cattle after their Kind, of every creeping Thing of the Earth after his Kind: two of every fort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

21 And take thou unto thee of all Food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for Food for thee, and for them.

5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD

commanded him.

6 And Noah was fix hundred Years old, when the Flood of Waters were upon the Earth.

* Heb. xi. 7. By Faith Noah being warned of God, of Things not feen

as yet, moved with Fear, prepared an Ark to the saving of his House; by the which he condemned the World, and became Heir of the Righteousness which is by Faith.

,And Noah went in, and his Sons, and his Wife, and his Sons Wives with him, into the Ark, because of the Waters of the Flood..

8 Of clean Beasts, and of Beafts that are not clean, and of Fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the Earth,

9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the Ark, the Male and the Female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 And it came to pass after seven Days, that the Waters of the Flood were upon the Earth.

11 In the fix hundredth Year of Noah's Life, in the second Month, the seventeenth Day of the Month, the fame Day were all the Fountains of the great Deep broken up, and the Windows of Heaven were opened.

12 And the Rain was upon the Earth forty Days and forty Nights.

13 In the felf-fame Day entred Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the Sons of Noah, and Noah's Wife, and the three Wives of his Sons with them, into the Ark:

14 They, and every Beast after his Kind, and all the Cattle after their Kind, and every creeping Thing that creepeth upon the Earth after his Kind, and every Fowl after his Kind, every Bird of every Sort.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the Ark, two and two of all Flesh, wherein is the Breath of Life.

16 And they that went in, went in Male and Female of all Flesh, as Gop had commanded him shut him in.
