" Abel , in firm reliance co the promise of God , and in obedience to tiii command , offered that sacrifice whick had been enjoined as the religious ex * pression of his faith ; whilst Cain , disregarding the gracious assurances that had
been vouchsafed , or at least disdaining to adopt the prescribed mode of manifesting his belief , possibly as not appearing to his reason to possess any effi * cacy or natural fitness , thought he had sufficiently acquitted himself of his duty , in acknowledging the general superintendance of God , and expressing his
gratitude to the Supreme Benefactor , by presenting some of those good things , which he thereby confessed to have hecii derived from his bounty . In short , CftM ^ the first-horn of the fall , exhibits the first fruits of his parents' disobedience * in the arrogance and self-sufficiency o £
reason rejecting the aids of revelation , because they fell not within its apprehension of right . He takes the tot place in the annals of Deism , and dls-r plays , in his proud rejection of sacrifice , the same spirit which , in later days , has actuated his enlightened followers , in xt + jecting the sacrifice of Christ . ** +
Within the compass of our reading we Imve met with no similar example of gratuitous , dogmatical assertion and the true odium theologicum ! Sooner than a class of persons whom Dr . Magee delights to vilifv shall not be abused ; sooner
than they shall not be looked updu by the ignorant , the unreflecting and the prejudiced , who compose no small portion of mankind , q $ possessing " the spirit of the
firsttorn Cain ; " history is perverted for the purpose of constituting him the prototype of our author ' s anta--gonists ! The clear declarations of scripture are set aside % : the reveries of the imagination substituted
