Two Kinds of Offerings
Genesis 4:1-16
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.…


They both offer, but the one thinketh anything good enough, and the other in the zeal of his soul and fulness of his Lord thinketh nothing good enough. He bringeth his gilt, and of the fattest, that is, of the best he hath, and wisheth it were ten thousand times better. This heat of affection towards God let us all mark and ever think of: it uncaseth such as in these days think any service enough for God, half, a quarter of an hour in a week, etc.

(Bishop Babington.)
