Bishops(i) 8 And Cain talked with Habel his brother: and it came to passe when they were in the fielde, Cain rose vp agaynst Habel his brother, & slewe him 9 And the Lorde said vnto Cain: where is Habel thy brother? Which sayde I wote not: Am I my brothers keper 10 And he sayde: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me out of the grounde 11 And nowe art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receaue thy brothers blood from thy hande 12 If thou tyll the grounde, she shall not yeelde vnto thee her strength. A fugitiue and a vacabound shalt thou be in the earth 13 And Cain sayde vnto the Lord: My iniquitie is more then that it may be forgeuen 14 Beholde, thou hast cast me out this day from the vpper face of the earth, & from thy face shall I be hyd, fugitiue also and a vacabounde shall I be in the earth: and it shall come to passe, that euery one that fyndeth me shal slay me 15 And the Lorde said vnto him: Uerely whosoeuer slayeth Cain, he shalbe punished seuen folde. And the Lorde set a marke vpon Cain, lest any man fyndyng hym shoulde kyll hym 16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lorde, & dwelt in the lande of Nod, eastwarde from Eden 17 Cain also knewe his wyfe, whiche conceaued and bare Henoch, and buyldyng a citie, he called the name of the same citie after the name of his sonne Henoch 18 Unto ye same Henoch was borne Irad: Irad begat Mehuiael, Mehuiael begat Methusael, Methusael begat Lamech 19 And Lamech toke vnto hym two wyues, the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other was Sella 20 And Ada bare Iabel, which was the father of such as dwel in the tentes, and of such as haue cattell 21 His brothers name was Iubal, which was the father of such as handle Harpe and Organ 22 And Sella also bare Thubalcain, which wrought cunnyngly euery craft of brasse and of iron, the sister of Thubalcain was Noema 23 And Lamech saide vnto his wiues Ada and Sella: Heare my voyce ye wyues of Lamech, hearken vnto my speache: for I haue slayne a man to the woundyng of my selfe, & a young man to myne owne punishment
