unto thee according to his desire, and thou shalt rule over him; for from this time forth, thou shalt be the father of his lies. thou shalt be called perdition, for thou wast also before the world, and it shall be said in time to come that these abominations were had from Cain. for he rejected the greater counsel which was had from God. And this is a cursing which I will put upon thee except thou repent. And Cain was wroth and listened not any more to the voice of the Lord, neither to Abel his brother, who walked in holiness before the Lord. And Adam also and his wife mourned before the Lord because of Cain and his brethren. And it came to pass that Cain took one of his brother’s daughters to wife, and they loved Satan more than God. And Satan saith unto Cain, swear unto me by thy throat, and if thou tell it thou shall die, and swear thy brethren by their heads and by the living God, that they tell it not, for if they tell it they shall surely die [p.
