all_o now_o the_o mother_n overhear_v all_o that_o the_o father_n say_v call_v her_o young_a son_n and_o say_v to_o he_o son_n since_o thy_o father_n have_v command_v thy_o elder-brother_n to_o bring_v he_o some_o venison_n that_o eat_v of_o it_o he_o may_v give_v he_o his_o blessing_n harken_v what_o i_o say_v to_o thou_o h●sten_v immediate_o to_o the_o flock_n and_o fetch_v thence_o some_o young_a fat_a kid_n bring_v they_o hither_o to_o i_o and_o i_o will_v make_v such_o as_o thy_o father_n love_v and_o thou_o shall_v carry_v it_o to_o he_o that_o when_o he_o have_v taste_v of_o it_o he_o may_v bless_v thou_o for_o the_o father_n be_v dark_a through_o extremity_n of_o age_n now_o when_o the_o young_a have_v bring_v she_o the_o kid_n his_o mother_n stew_v they_o and_o put_v the_o viand_n into_o a_o dis●_z deliver_v it_o to_o her_o son_n who_o carry_v it_o in_o and_o she_o also_o clad_v he_o with_o the_o skin_n of_o the_o goat_n lest_o he_o shall_v be_v discover_v see_v he_o be_v smooth_a but_o his_o brother_n be_v all_o hairy_a and_o rough_a that_o by_o this_o mean_n it_o may_v be_v conceal_v and_o his_o father_n not_o discern_v the_o imposture_n and_o thus_o accoutre_v in_o she_o send_v he_o now_o the_o good_a old_a man_n suppose_v he_o to_o have_v be_v the_o elder_n have_v eat_v the_o meat_n bless_v he_o and_o when_o he_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o blessing_n he_o in_fw-la come_v the_o elder_a brother_n bring_v the_o venison_n but_o perceive_v what_o have_v h●pned_v roar_v out_o aloud_o he_o weep_v lamentable_o observe_v now_o what_o a_o world_n of_o benefit_n t●is_fw-mi will_v produce_v and_o do_v not_o recount_v all_o the_o story_n at_o once_o but_o see_v what_o profit_n will_v spring_v from_o this_o for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n child_n will_v learn_v to_o reverence_v their_o parent_n perceive_v how_o they_o contend_v for_o the_o blessing_n and_o will_v rather_o endure_v a_o thousand_o stripe_n than_o once_o to_o hear_v their_o father_n curse_v they_o if_o you_o fill_v their_o thought_n with_o such_o like_a story_n so_o as_o they_o may_v imagine_v they_o worthy_a of_o belief_n as_o indeed_o they_o be_v very_a truth_n how_o will_v it_o not_o affect_v and_o fill_v they_o full_o of_o reverence_n by_o this_o also_o they_o will_v learn_v to_o contemn_v gluttony_n for_o that_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v tell_v they_o and_o that_o he_o gain_v nothing_o by_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v and_o the_o elder_a since_o by_o the_o intemperance_n of_o his_o belly_n he_o betray_v the_o excellency_n of_o his_o birthright_n now_o when_o the_o child_n shall_v have_v thorough_o remember_v this_o upon_o some_o other_o evening_n thou_o shall_v require_v he_o to_o repeat_v this_o story_n of_o the_o two_o brother_n and_o if_o he_o begin_v to_o speak_v of_o cain_n and_o abel_n recall_v he_o and_o say_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v this_o but_o that_o of_o the_o two_o other_o who_o the_o father_n gav●_z his_o blessing_n to_o thus_o give_v he_o some_o hint_n but_o without_o mention_v the_o name_n and_o when_o he_o have_v recite_v it_o all_o add_v as_o follow_v and_o say_v mark_v now_o what_o happen_v after_o this_o this_o also_o seek_v to_o have_v slay_v his_o brother_n and_o for_o that_o end_n expect_v only_o his_o father_n decease_n which_o the_o mother_n come_v to_o hear_v of_o and_o fear_v it_o cause_v her_o son_n to_o flee_v away_o much_o philosophy_n far_o exceed_v the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o child_n may_v be_v hence_o with_o a_o little_a condescension_n implant_v into_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o child_n so_o that_o the_o narration_n be_v skilful_o and_o dxterons_o handle_v thus_o therefore_o let_v we_o tell_v he_o this_o same_o brother_n go_v his_o way_n and_o come_v to_o a_o certain_a place_n have_v nobody_o with_o he_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o servant_n no_o fosterer_n no_o attendant_n nor_o any_o person_n beside_o be_v arrive_v to_o the_o place_n he_o pray_v and_o say_v o_o lord_n give_v i_o i_o beseech_v thou_o bread_n and_o clothing_n and_o save_v i_o and_o have_v say_v thus_o overcome_v with_o sorrow_n he_o fall_v asleep_o and_o there_o he_o see_v in_o a_o dream_n a_o ladder_n reach_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n as●ending_v and_o descend_v and_o god_n himself_o stand_v at_o the_o top_n of_o all_o then_o he_o say_v bless_v i_o and_o he_o bless_a he_o and_o call_v he_o israel_n it_o come_v happy_o into_o my_o mind_n and_o now_o i_o remember_v that_o from_o the_o very_a name_n another_o instruction_n may_v be_v insert_v and_o what_o be_v that_o viz._n that_o from_o the_o appellation_n we_o present_o introduce_v a_o certain_a emulation_n of_o virtue_n in_o child_n let_v none_o therefore_o be_v forward_o to_o name_v their_o child_n for_o the_o memory_n of_o their_o father_n or_o mother_n or_o grandfather_n but_o of_o the_o righteous_a of_o the_o martyr_n bishop_n and_o apostle_n be_v this_o also_o their_o emulation_n let_v this_o child_n be_v call_v peter_n that_o john_n and_o another_o by_o the_o apellation_n of_o some_o holy_a man_n and_o talk_v not_o to_o i_o of_o the_o gentilname_n for_o believe_v it_o it_o be_v no_o small_a reproach_n and_o worthy_a of_o derision_n when_o in_o a_o christian_a family_n some_o heathen_a ceremony_n be_v perform_v and_o they_o light_v up_o the_o lamp_n and_o watch_v which_o of_o they_o shall_v first_o go_v out_o and_o be_v spend_v with_o other_o the_o like_a foppery_n which_o bring_v no_o little_a detriment_n to_o those_o which_o practi●e_n ●hem_n for_o do_v not_o imagine_v that_o these_o be_v small_a matter_n or_o trifle_n which_o be_v do_v this_o therefore_o i_o require_v of_o you_o that_o you_o impose_v the_o name_n of_o the_o r●ghteous_a upon_o your_o child_n for_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o the_o beginning_n not_o without_o reason_n that_o they_o call_v their_o child_n by_o the_o name_n of_o their_o ancestor_n it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o consolation_n against_o mortality_n that_o he_o which_o be_v go_v seem_v still_o to_o live_v by_o reason_n of_o his_o name_n but_o now_o this_o custom_n be_v quite_o out_o of_o request_n true_o we_o see_v that_o the_o r●ghteous_a do_v not_o so_o call_v their_o child_n for_o ●b●aham_fw-la beg●t_n isaac_n jacob_n and_o moses_n be_v not_o call_v after_o their_o ancestor_n name_n nor_o do_v we_o find_v any_o of_o the_o just_a so_o c●lled_v o_o what_o a_o example_n will_v he●e_n be_v of_o virtue_n of_o consolation_n and_o of_o exhortation_n and_o moreover_o neither_o do_v we_o find_v any_o other_o cause_n of_o change_a name_n beside_o this_o only_a that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o monument_n of_o virtue_n thou_o say_v he_o shall_v be_v call_v cephas_n which_o be_v be_v expound_v peter_n why_o so_o 18._o because_o thou_o do_v confess_v 5_o and_o thou_o shall_v be_v call_v abraham_n 28._o why_o so_o because_o thou_o be_v a_o father_n of_o nation_n and_o israel_n because_o he_o do_v see_v god_n hence_o therefore_o let_v we_o begin_v our_o care_n over_o our_o child_n and_o institute_v their_o life_n but_o as_o i_o say_v he_o see_v a_o ladder_n reach_v to_o the_o heaven_n and_o touch_v it_o let_v the_o name_n therefore_o of_o the_o saint_n enter_v into_o your_o house_n by_o the_o appellation_n of_o your_o child_n that_o by_o this_o mean_n it_o may_v not_o alone_o compose_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o child_n but_o of_o the_o father_n also_o when_o he_o shall_v remember_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o john_n of_o elias_n of_o jacob_n see_v those_o name_n be_v circumspect_o and_o pious_o impose_v and_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o those_o that_o be_v depart_v thus_o therefore_o let_v we_o court_v the_o affinity_n of_o the_o r●ghteous_a rather_o than_o of_o our_o progenitor_n this_o likewise_o will_v be_v very_o beneficial_a both_o to_o we_o and_o to_o our_o child_n nor_o be●ause_v the_o instance_n be_v small_a think_v it_o to_o be_v small_a for_o the_o supposition_n be_v exceed_o profitable_a but_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o pr●ceed_v to_o that_o which_o follow_v he_o spy_v a_o ladder_n fix_v he_o seek_v for_o a_o ble●●ing_v and_o god_n do_v bless_v he_o he_o travel_v to_o his_o kindred_n and_o become_v a_o shepherd_n to_o his_o kinsman_n then_o treat_v with_o he_o concerning_o a_o wife_n and_o of_o his_o return_n and_o here_o also_o there_o will_v result_v a_o world_n of_o advantage_n observe_v but_o what_o a_o deal_n he_o will_v learn_v that_o be_v noble_o bear_v he_o despise_v no_o man_n not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o poverty_n that_o
