441. The fact that this was not the point at which people first started to call on the name of Jehovah is quite clear from what appears in preceding sections about the Most Ancient Church, which excelled all other Churches in its adoration and worship of the Lord, and also from Abel' s bringing a gift from the firstborn of the flock. At the present point therefore nothing else is meant by 'calling on the name of Jehovah' than the worship of a new Church, after the previous Church had been annihilated by those who are called Cain and later on Lamech.
