Here is a fearful sin not to confess a sin committed, but to lie and seek if he could to hide it from God by denial. So that Cain was grown worse then Adam, he only excused the fault, he denies, saying, he could not tell what was become of him whom himself had murdered, so denying in his heart that God was present in all places and saw all things. So his heart was hardened in wickedness, and he was grown a despiser of God, a denier of his Omniscience, and he had made himself quite impenitent.
Here is a fearefull sinne not to confesse a sinne committed, but to lie and seeke if he could to hide it from God by deniall.

So his heart was hardned in wickednesse, and he was growne a despiser of God, a denier of his Omniscience, and he had made himselfe quite impenitent.
Impenitency in his sins, that was another of Cain's faults. Instead of falling down and saying, I have sinned, he saith, I have not done it, thou dost unjustly in asking me such a question, like the Pharisees, that after they had killed Christ, were so far from repenting, that they seemed to take it in high disdain, that the Apostles would seem to bring that mans blood upon them. Mark this sin, I say mark it, he hides his sin, denies it, will not go to God with humble confessions and supplications. This is to be a Cain, to commit great sins, and continue remorseless and unrepentant, not regarding to confess no not to God himself, though God use means to make him see and confess.
