416. That the holy things of love and the goods deriving from them are meant becomes clear also from the fact that Jabal was not the first tent and cattle-fold dweller, for Abel as well, the second son of Man (Homo) and Eve, is said to have been 'a shepherd of the flock'. And Jabal stands seventh in the line of descent from Cain.
