IN the fyrst yere of the worlde the syxte day / god made A∣dam in the felde. Damascn̄ & eua of one of his ryb∣bes / puttyng thē in paradyse. And bad them to kepe his cōmaūdemēt yt they sholde not ete of ye fruyte of lyfe vnder ye pay∣ne of deth. And ye same day that they had syn∣ned: anone he caste them out of paradyse in to ye londe of cursydnes that they sholde lyue the¦re with swetynge & sorowe tyl they dyed (Vide plura gen̄ .i.) ¶This Adam was an holy mā all the dayes of his lyfe / & grete penaūce dayly he dyd. And he cōmaūded his chyldren to lyue ryghtwysly. And namely that they shold auoy¦de in all wyse from the company of Cayn and his chyldren. Nor that they sholde not marye with none of thē. ¶This mā Adā was oure fyrst fader. And for one syn̄e he put vs oute of paradys. But thrugh his holy cōuersacyon & penaūce / he gaue vs ensample to come to the kyngdome of heuen. And he that wyl not folo¦we his holy cōuersacyō & exāple / for one syn̄e ryghtwysly / he can not cōplayne on hym / as we do many. ¶Seth sone to Adam was bor∣ne after the begynnynge of ye worlde .C. & .xxx. yeres / & lyued .ix.C. & .xii. But Moyses ouer∣skypped an hundreth of those / in the whiche A¦bell wept in ye vale of Ploracyon nyghe Ebrō Thys Seth for the oyle of mercy to be goen / wēte to paradys. Delbora was syster to Abell Abell was slayn of cayn his brod. This Abell the fyrst martyr began ye chyrche of god. This man after Austyn made the cytee of god / & he was ye fyrst cytezyn of that cyte. And bycause that he was ryghtwyse our lorde receyued his offeryng. ¶Calmana was syster & wyf to Ca¦yn. This Cayn was a cursed man / & he made ye fyrst erthely cyte that euer ī this world was in the whiche he put his people for drede in so moche as he vsyd caryn & vyolēce. For he tru¦steth suche thyng to be done to hym as he dyd to other / therfore he put hym & hys ī to a syker place. Thys man slewe his brother Abell for enuye / & he was punysshed of god / and wan∣dred aboute in a dyspayre. And after was slay¦ne of Lamath a blynde man.
