A confession of my faith and a reason of my practice

First, Because God himself hath so strictly put the difference, both by ⟨p. 50⟩word and deed; For from the beginning, he did not only put a difference between the Seed of the woman and the children of the wicked, only the instinct of grace and change of the mind as his own, but did cast out from his presence the father of all the ungodly, even cursed Cain when he showed himself open profane, and banished him to go into the Land of the Runagate or Vagabond, where from Gods face, and so the privileges of the communion of Saints he was ever after hid. Gen. 3.15. chap. 4 9, 10.14, 15, 16.
