conclude_v the_o father_n under_o the_o number_n of_o two_o and_o twenty_o jacob_n be_v call_v the_o belove_a of_o the_o lord_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o which_o he_o be_v answerable_a to_o

sem_fw-mi heber_n and_o abraham_n be_v dead_a only_a esau_n and_o jacob_n alive_a to_o enjoy_v the_o blessing_n after_o isaack_n death_n now_o if_o we_o examine_v the_o sequel_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o if_o isaac_n have_v not_o be_v blind_a he_o will_v for_o his_o part_n have_v bring_v destruction_n upon_o the_o whole_a eart_n for_o he_o will_v have_v bless_v esau_n who_o upon_o any_o

therefore_o his_o blindness_n be_v a_o great_a blessing_n even_o as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v everything_o turn_v to_o the_o best_a to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n isaac_n will_v esau_n to_o go_v and_o

be_v the_o full_a of_o spirit_n and_o cheerfulness_n the_o hebrew_n dispute_v from_o this_o place_n whether_o isaac_n be_v grow_v into_o poverty_n some_o think_v he_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o

that_o just_o aben_n ezra_n be_v of_o this_o opinion_n rebecca_n she_o hear_v this_o commandment_n of_o isaac_n &_o know_v that_o speediness_n in_o despatch_v be_v oftentimes_o a_o great_a cause_n of_o advantage_n will_v jacob_n to_o go_v and_o fetch_v a_o kid_n that_o thereof_o she_o may_v make_v pleasant_a meat_n for_o isaac_n jacob_n be_v afraid_a she_o comfort_v he_o for_o she_o have_v her_o warrant_n from_o god_n that_o the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a and_o therefore_o she_o bold_o adventure_v he_o come_v to_o isaac_n who_o suppose_v he_o to_o be_v jacob_n by_o his_o

and_o pray_v his_o father_n to_o bless_v he_o isaac_n be_v now_o astonish_v to_o think_v of_o this_o subtlety_n his_o spirit_n must_v needs_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n to_o think_v how_o he_o who_o he_o will_v have_v bless_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o choose_v isaac_n therefore_o see_v the_o event_n acknowledge_v the_o election_n of_o god_n in_o jacob_n and_o conclude_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v bless_v now_o here_o be_v a_o question_n to_o be_v handle_v when_o jacob_n say_v i_o be_o thy_o son_n esau_n and_o isaac_n answer_v it_o be_v jacob_n voice_n whether_o jacob_n do_v lie_v or_o no_o this_o answer_n of_o jacob_n if_o we_o expound_v in_o the_o best_a sense_n be_v no_o lie_n for_o than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o speech_n call_v ironia_fw-la so_o god_n speak_v in_o

sleep_v henceforth_o we_o may_v answer_v it_o further_o thus_o jacob_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n which_o choose_v he_o for_o the_o bless_a may_v very_o well_o be_v call_v the_o only_a son_n beside_o in_o regard_n of_o civil_a right_n now_o he_o be_v his_o elder_a son_n see_v he_o have_v buy_v the_o birthright_n of_o esau_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o lie_n or_o no_o we_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o god_n and_o we_o can_v not_o altogether_o condemn_v this_o answer_n see_v god_n approve_v it_o by_o give_v jacob_n the_o blessing_n plato_n say_v when_o man_n be_v dead_a we_o can_v
