CAIN was the first Born of Adam which do signifie in the Language of Nature the first Principle of fierce Wrath of the Father 2. Cain brings of the Fruits of the Earth an Offering unto the Lord which was not accepted because it proceeded from and was composed of the Fruits of the bitter Root or the harsh astringent earthy Properties which cannot be accepted or entertained by the Divine or Love Principle 3. Then Cain was Wrath and his Countenance fell which does further denote that the angry Principle predominates in the Lifes Center then the Lord said Why art thou Wrath and thy Countenance fallen if thou doest well shalt thou not be accepted which does sufficiently intimate that Cain's Offering was not Corn of Wine or any of the common Fruits of the outward Principle which in themselves are innocent and harmless but rather of evil uncircumcised Works which were not nor never will be acceptable to the Lord of Love and Innocency 4.

It would be but a symtome of Vanity or Ignorence grosly to conceive that Cain offered Corn Oyl or other external Fruits or that Abel brought Sheep Lambs Calves or the Fat of them their Offerings were the living Powers of their Souls viz. evil and good Works the first were Cain's producing from the harsh earthy fierce wrathfull Principles that had the Government in him the latter were Abel's flowing from the Divine innocent Fountain and each was received of each that is the Holy Fountain of Light and Love kindly entertained Abel's Offering by simile and it was a sweet savour
