That the Worse is wont to Attack the Better
[1] “And Cain said to Abel his brother, Let us make our way to the plain. And it came to pass when they were on the plain that Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him” (Gen. 4:8). What Cain is aiming at is by means of a challenge to draw Abel into a dispute, and to gain the mastery over him by plausible sophistries that have the appearance of truth. For, drawing our conclusions about things that are obscure from things that are manifest, we say that the plain, the rendezvous to which he summons him, is a figure of contest and desperate battle.
