to_o god_n himself_o a_o man_n may_v just_o wonder_v why_o jacob_n have_v not_o perform_v his_o vow_n before_o now_o god_n have_v free_v he_o from_o laban_n pursuit_n and_o send_v laban_n quiet_o back_o again_o god_n have_v deliver_v he_o from_o esau_n opposition_n and_o send_v esau_n away_o in_o peace_n what_o hinder_v jacob_n from_o go_v to_o bethel_n he_o may_v as_o easy_o have_v go_v thither_o as_o to_o shechem_n sure_a nothing_o hinder_v he_o but_o his_o own_o forgetfulness_n and_o that_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o strange_a because_o god_n himself_o have_v put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o his_o vow_n in_o direct_a term_n when_o he_o command_v he_o to_o return_v home_o and_o promise_v to_o bless_v he_o 31.13_o he_o gen_n 31.13_o i_o be_o the_o god_n of_o bethel_n say_v he_o where_o thou_o anoint_v the_o pillar_n and_o where_o thou_o vow_v a_o vow_n unto_o i_o but_o jacob_n have_v get_v a_o quiet_a habitation_n at_o shechem_n commodious_a for_o he_o and_o his_o cattle_n and_o there_o he_o tarry_v till_o god_n fire_n he_o out_o dinah_n be_v ravish_v he_o and_o he_o in_o danger_n of_o destruction_n and_o yet_o he_o think_v not_o of_o go_v to_o bethel_n till_o god_n bid_v he_o this_o be_v note_v by_o interpreter_n to_o be_v the_o first_o vow_n mention_v in_o scripture_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o jacob_n be_v call_v by_o some_o of_o they_o voterumpater_n the_o father_n of_o vow_n yet_o this_o first_o vow_n be_v strange_o neglect_v when_o it_o may_v easy_o have_v be_v perform_v we_o can_v think_v any_o worse_a of_o jacob_n then_o of_o pharaoh_n butler_n who_o 40.23_o who_o gen_n 40.23_o forget_v joseph_n and_o remember_v he_o not_o though_o he_o do_v very_o well_o deserve_v to_o be_v remember_v but_o what_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v so_o forgetful_a of_o god_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o wicked_a man_n forget_v he_o they_o use_v god_n as_o man_n use_v physician_n send_v for_o they_o when_o they_o be_v sick_a and_o slight_v they_o when_o they_o be_v well_o but_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o good_a man_n who_o love_n god_n shall_v so_o much_o neglect_v he_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v these_o first_o reason_n 1_o because_o of_o that_o natural_a wound_n our_o memory_n have_v receive_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n for_o as_o our_o understanding_n be_v natural_o fill_v with_o folly_n our_o will_n with_o crossnesse_n to_o all_o goodness_n our_o affection_n with_o peevishness_n so_o our_o memory_n with_o forgetfulness_n of_o holy_a thing_n and_o this_o forgetfulness_n remain_v after_o regeneration_n for_o as_o the_o understanding_n will_n and_o affection_n be_v not_o perfect_o cleanse_v and_o clear_v in_o this_o world_n so_o be_v not_o the_o memory_n neither_o this_o may_v easy_o make_v we_o forget_v vow_n as_o well_o as_o other_o good_a duty_n second_o reason_n 2_o because_o of_o length_n of_o time_n between_o the_o vow_n make_v and_o to_o be_v perform_v we_o pray_v and_o vow_n to_o god_n in_o our_o difficulty_n it_o may_v be_v long_o before_o that_o issue_n come_v that_o we_o expect_v and_o so_o our_o vow_n be_v forget_v this_o be_v jacob_n case_n he_o have_v be_v twenty_o year_n with_o laban_n since_o his_o vow_n be_v make_v and_o so_o have_v let_v it_o slip_v out_o of_o his_o mind_n three_o reason_n 3_o because_o of_o multitude_n of_o business_n which_o god_n servant_n be_v subject_a to_o as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n they_o have_v body_n wife_n child_n servant_n to_o take_v care_n for_o as_o well_o as_o other_o they_o have_v good_n cattle_n estate_n to_o look_v after_o as_o well_o as_o wicked_a man_n the_o thought_n of_o worldly_a affair_n as_o they_o hinder_v they_o much_o in_o other_o matter_n of_o piety_n so_o likewise_o in_o payment_n of_o vow_n four_o reason_n 4_o because_o of_o many_o and_o strong_a opposition_n they_o find_v in_o their_o pilgrimage_n jacob_n have_v no_o soon_o leave_v laban_n house_n but_o present_o 23._o present_o gen._n 31.22_o 23._o laban_n pursue_v he_o and_o quarrel_n with_o he_o he_o have_v no_o soon_o dismiss_v laban_n but_o 32.6_o but_o gen._n 32.6_o esau_n his_o brother_n come_v out_o with_o a_o army_n against_o he_o when_o esau_n be_v go_v he_o fear_v the_o canaanite_n lest_o they_o shall_v all_o rise_v up_o to_o destroy_v he_o because_o of_o the_o wrong_n do_v to_o the_o shechemite_n this_o may_v be_v one_o occasion_n of_o jacob_n forget_v his_o vow_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v to_o we_o also_o who_o shall_v meet_v with_o opposition_n as_o well_o as_o he_o i_o shall_v omit_v the_o application_n till_o i_o have_v handle_v the_o other_o point_n
