1125. I was allowed to speak to those who belonged to the Church called Enosh, mentioned in Genesis 4:26. Their influx was gentle, and their speaking unassuming. They said that they lived with one another in charity, and that they performed kindly services for visitors. It was clear however that their charity was the charity arising from friendship. 1 They live peaceably, like good citizens, causing nobody any trouble.
