1. We are very apt to consider that as the same race and kind of men that committed these outrages upon our brethren, are still in being and that their rage and malice is not abated in the least degree, but is as fierce and cruel as ever it was, Gal. 4. 29. As then he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. So it was then, and just so it is still, the old enmity is entailed upon all wicked men from generation to generation; multi adhuc sunt qui clavum sanguine ⟨p. 42⟩Abelis rubentem adhuc circumferunt. Cain's club is to this day carried up and down the world stained with the blood of Abel, as Bucholtzer speaks; 'tis a rooted antipathy, and it runs in a blood, and will run as long as there are wicked men from whom and to whom it shall be propagated, and a devil in hell, by whom it will not fail to be exasperated and irritated.
