jacob_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o depend_v upon_o his_o father_n substance_n but_o upon_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n on_o his_o own_o endeavour_n according_a to_o these_o word_n and_o god_n alsufficient_a bless_v thou_o and_o make_v thou_o to_o increase_v etc._n etc._n now_o have_v clear_v the_o way_n i_o will_v show_v you_o jacob_n walk_v with_o his_o staff_n a_o man_n use_v a_o staff_n for_o one_o of_o these_o end_n either_o to_o support_v he_o from_o fall_v or_o else_o to_o defend_v he_o from_o danger_n a_o old_a man_n use_v a_o staff_n to_o support_v his_o weak_a body_n and_o a_o young_a man_n he_o use_v a_o staff_n to_o defend_v himself_o and_o offend_v his_o enemy_n in_o the_o first_o exception_n god_n make_v this_o serpent_n laban_n a_o staff_n to_o jacob_n for_o when_o he_o come_v to_o laban_n he_o be_v so_o poor_a and_o weak_a that_o he_o be_v not_o of_o himself_o able_a to_o subsist_v as_o by_o his_o vow_n appear_v when_o he_o do_v at_o that_o time_n desire_v no_o more_o than_o clothes_n to_o wear_v and_o bread_n to_o eat_v so_o that_o it_o seem_v he_o be_v not_o very_o well_o store_v at_o that_o time_n either_o with_o money_n or_o provision_n as_o he_o afterward_o acknowledge_v in_o these_o word_n that_o he_o come_v over_o jordan_n with_o his_o staff_n only_o and_o in_o this_o exigent_n he_o be_v refresh_v and_o support_v by_o laban_n first_o according_a to_o his_o wish_n viz._n with_o convenient_a sustenance_n for_o i_o read_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a and_o therefore_o judge_v that_o laban_n keep_v a_o good_a house_n for_o his_o own_o family_n second_o with_o two_o wife_n two_o maid_n twelve_o son_n and_o one_o daughter_n and_o last_o of_o all_o with_o a_o multitude_n of_o riches_n so_o that_o in_o this_o he_o acknowledge_v god_n great_a blessing_n towards_o he_o for_o whereas_o he_o come_v to_o laban_n with_o no_o more_o than_o a_o staff_n now_o he_o be_v become_v into_o two_o band_n but_o be_v there_o not_o as_o good_a supporter_n as_o laban_n can_v not_o jacob_n find_v as_o good_a master_n as_o he_o yes_o certain_o for_o he_o may_v have_v do_v as_o well_o if_o not_o better_o with_o some_o other_o but_o it_o be_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n pleasure_n he_o shall_v take_v a_o wife_n from_o among_o their_o brethren_n therefore_o in_o obedience_n to_o their_o will_n he_o come_v to_o serve_v laban_n thus_o have_v i_o brief_o declare_v how_o jacob_n be_v support_v by_o a_o serpent_n but_o from_o hence_o i_o will_v have_v none_o to_o infer_v that_o because_o he_o serve_v a_o laban_n therefore_o he_o must_v have_v the_o blessing_n of_o jacob_n for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o not_o by_o laban_n goodness_n that_o jacob_n become_v so_o rich_a for_o laban_n as_o a_o serpent_n if_o he_o have_v find_v any_o of_o his_o servant_n idle_a or_o careless_a he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o sting_v they_o therefore_o he_o that_o intend_v to_o have_v the_o blessing_n of_o jacob_n must_v be_v qualify_v as_o he_o be_v viz._n first_o he_o must_v be_v a_o pious_a servant_n and_o begin_v his_o service_n with_o jacobs_n wish_n in_o hearty_a prayer_n that_o god_n will_v bless_v he_o therein_o with_o food_n convenient_a and_o clothes_n to_o put_v on_o viz._n such_o thing_n as_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o second_o he_o must_v be_v wise_a to_o make_v his_o bargain_n lest_o after_o much_o labour_n and_o long_a time_n spend_v he_o be_v not_o send_v away_o worse_o than_o he_o come_v as_o the_o proverb_n be_v a_o young_a servingman_n and_o a_o old_a beggar_n for_o jacob_n make_v his_o bargain_n wise_o for_o the_o love_n of_o rache●_n he_o serve_v 14._o year_n and_o after_o for_o the_o provision_n of_o his_o own_o house_n he_o make_v such_o a_o bargain_n that_o by_o policy_n he_o get_v all_o laban_n strong_a cattle_n and_o leave_v he_o the_o feeble_a three_o he_o must_v be_v diligent_a as_o in_o his_o own_o so_o in_o his_o master_n business_n but_o it_o be_v fit_a he_o shall_v know_v what_o his_o employment_n be_v so_o be_v jacob_n for_o thus_o he_o answer_v laban_n thou_o know_v what_o service_n i_o have_v do_v thou_o and_o in_o what_o take_v thy_o cattle_n have_v be_v under_o i_o and_o not_o under_o another_o thy_o ewe_n and_o thy_o goat_n have_v not_o cast_v their_o young_a and_o the_o ram_n of_o thy_o flock_n have_v i_o not_o eat_v i_o be_v in_o the_o day_n consume_v with_o heat_n and_o in_o the_o night_n with_o frost_n and_o my_o sleep_n depart_v from_o my_o eye_n he_o do_v according_a to_o the_o apostle_n rule_v serve_v not_o with_o eye-service_n of_o please_a man_n but_o in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n as_o unto_o the_o lord_n viz._n he_o will_v do_v his_o work_n as_o well_o behind_o his_o master_n back_o as_o before_o his_o f●ce_n and_o last_o a_o good_a servant_n ought_v to_o be_v wise_a as_o to_o lead_v a_o unblameable_a life_n so_o to_o keep_v himself_o from_o danger_n for_o in_o such_o a_o service_n other_o servant_n or_o it_o may_v be_v sometime_o the_o master_n himself_o as_o here_o perceive_v that_o he_o thrive_v or_o grow_v rich_a present_o grumble_v or_o grutch_v and_o seek_v by_o some_o way_n or_o other_o to_o defeat_v he_o as_o here_o it_o be_v but_o jacob_n be_v wise_a and_o can_v perceive_v though_o laban_n son_n utter_v that_o their_o father_n think_v for_o they_o complain_v that_o jacob_n have_v take_v all_o that_o be_v their_o father_n and_o of_o his_o good_n he_o have_v get_v all_o his_o honour_n yet_o jacob_n perceive_v that_o the_o countenance_n of_o laban_n himself_o be_v not_o towards_o he_o as_o in_o time_n past_a therefore_o he_o think_v it_o be_v time_n to_o look_v about_o he_o to_o avoid_v such_o trap_n and_o snare_n as_o may_v be_v lay_v for_o he_o for_o he_o know_v if_o he_o do_v not_o prevent_v they_o they_o will_v either_o entangle_v he_o in_o his_o word_n or_o have_v such_o a_o strict_a eye_n over_o his_o action_n that_o one_o way_n or_o other_o they_o will_v find_v some_o cause_n to_o quarrel_n therefore_o at_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n by_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o wife_n he_o depart_v with_o great_a riches_n so_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o give_v his_o brother_n 200._o she_o goat_n and_o 20._o he_o goat_n 200._o ewe_n and_o 20._o ram_n 30._o milch_n camel_n with_o their_o colt_n 40._o kine_n and_o 10._o bullock_n 20._o she_o ass_n and_o 10._o foal_v and_o yet_o not_o hurt_v himself_o and_o thus_o have_v i_o brief_o show_v how_o the_o serpent_n be_v turn_v to_o a_o rod_n of_o support_n beat_v away_o the_o enemy_n of_o jacobs_n welfare_n penury_n poverty_n and_o misery_n wherein_o i_o have_v display_v the_o property_n of_o a_o churlish_a master_n and_o the_o quality_n of_o a_o profitable_a servant_n but_o such_o as_o jacob_n hard_a to_o find_v though_o many_o man_n have_v laban_n mind_n in_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n providence_n i_o be_o likewise_o to_o show_v how_o god_n for_o the_o relief_n of_o david_n make_v wate●_n to_o flow_v out_o of_o the_o hard_a rock_n but_o in_o this_o as_o in_o the_o serpent_n i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v a_o natural_a but_o a_o metaphorical_a rock_n and_o such_o a_o rock_n be_v nabal_n and_o to_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v so_o i_o will_v not_o divide_v he_o as_o i_o do_v laban_n but_o i_o will_v consider_v he_o in_o the_o whole_a by_o these_o property_n first_o by_o his_o magnitude_n second_o by_o his_o obduration_n and_o three_o by_o his_o sharp_a craggednesse_n first_o a_o rock_n be_v a_o huge_a bulk_n of_o stone_n gather_v up_o to_o a_o great_a height_n and_o nabal_n be_v exceed_v mighty_a there_o be_v his_o height_n and_o have_v 3000._o sheep_n a_o 1000_o goat_n there_o be_v his_o bulk_n second_o a_o rock_n be_v a_o hard_a stony_a place_n so_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v get_v out_o of_o it_o but_o by_o exceed_v hard_a and_o dangerous_a labour_n and_o nabal_n as_o his_o name_n show_v be_v of_o a_o hard_a temper_n for_o bray_v a_o fool_n say_v solomon_n in_o a_o mortar_n and_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v his_o foolishness_n he_o think_v himself_o so_o wise_a that_o he_o need_v not_o or_o so_o rich_a and_o potent_a that_o he_o care_v not_o or_o so_o churlish_a that_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v any_o persuasion_n against_o his_o foolish_a humour_n for_o all_o the_o persuasive_a argument_n david_n can_v use_v to_o draw_v some_o refreshment_n for_o himself_o and_o his_o man_n out_o of_o this_o rock_n will_v not_o work_v upon_o he_o but_o in_o stead_n of_o relief_n like_o many_o in_o these_o day_n scorn_n and_o revile_v at_o he_o in_o these_o word_n who_o be_v david_n and_o who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o ishai_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v my_o bread_n
