The first Section, of Adam.

Adam was created vpon friday, the day before the Iewish sabaoth, Genes. 1. verse 27.

He was 130. yeares old, when he begat Seth, Genes. 5.3. after Iosephus, he was 230. yeares olde. he liued 930. yeres, and then died, Genes. 5. verse 5.

He was buried (as the Hebrewes write) in the land of Isra∣el. Rabbi Isaac apud Genebr.

He had three sonnes, Cain, Abel, and Seth. Cain murde∣red his brother Abel; and for no other cause, but euen for the true seruice of God. Which, when it is truely done, the deuil can not abide it; and for that end doth he alway stirre vp the wicked against the godly, as hee did Cain against his brother Abel, that the word of God and his doctrine may be extingui∣shed and troden vnder foote. Adam had many sons and daugh∣ters, as Iosephus writeth.
