that_o make_v they_o so_o thrive_v and_o prosper_v in_o the_o world_n the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o singular_o bless_v above_o other_o be_v because_o god_n be_v with_o they_o thus_o also_o

jacob_n will_v have_v come_v over_o twice_o with_o one_o thing_n in_o so_o short_a a_o prayer_n however_o our_o translation_n in_o this_o agree_v with_o the_o hebrew_n septuagint_n and_o the_o vulgar_a latin_a and_o we_o judge_v it_o best_a and_o more_o reasonable_a to_o take_v the_o word_n this_o way_n here_o then_o when_o jacob_n promise_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v his_o god_n it_o

honour_v he_o with_o a_o signal_n mainfestation_n of_o his_o presence_n and_o that_o to_o he_o and_o to_o he_o only_o he_o shall_v pay_v all_o the_o homage_n deference_n worship_n and_o service_n which_o be_v due_a from_o reasonable_a creature_n to_o the_o true_a god._n for_o to_o take_v one_o to_o be_v our_o god_n be_v to_o carry_v towards_o he_o as_o to_o such_o a_o supreme_a and_o

you_o see_v what_o the_o patriarch_n here_o engage_v himself_o to_o and_o it_o do_v first_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o arbitrary_a free-will-offering_a which_o he_o here_o pitch_a upon_z it_o
