of_o this_o chapter_n he_o travail_v towards_o padan-aran_n unto_o his_o uncle_n laban_n for_o succour_n in_o hope_v there_o not_o only_o to_o have_v his_o life_n secure_v from_o his_o brother_n

for_o then_o perhaps_o he_o have_v never_o make_v this_o vow_n but_o he_o go_v all_o alone_a like_o a_o poor_a pilgrim_n with_o his_o staff_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o so_o come_v weary_a and_o late_o

a_o quiet_a conscience_n which_o be_v two_o good_a engine_n to_o draw_v on_o sleep_n he_o sleep_v as_o sound_o upon_o that_o hard_a pillow_n as_o if_o he_o have_v lie_v upon_o a_o bed_n of_o down_o and_o in_o his_o sleep_n he_o dream_v of_o a_o certain_a ladder_n reach_v up_o from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n upon_o which_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n ascend_v and_o descend_v and_o the_o lord_n

that_o land_n and_o not_o to_o forsake_v he_o until_o he_o have_v perform_v all_o that_o he_o have_v promise_v unto_o he_o when_o jacob_n awake_v out_o of_o his_o sleep_n and_o perceive_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o that_o place_n and_o he_o not_o aware_a of_o it_o and_o that_o that_o place_n be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o gate_n of_o heaven_n verse_n 17._o he_o be_v strike_v with_o fear_n and_o reverence_n as_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o be_v that_o come_v within_o the_o gate_n of_o god_n house_n and_o take_v the_o stone_n that_o lie_v under_o his_o head_n and_o

serious_a consideration_n of_o this_o gracious_a promise_n which_o far_o exceed_v all_o that_o he_o can_v either_o ask_v or_o think_v he_o do_v not_o through_o unbelief_n make_v any_o doubt_n of_o the_o performance_n thereof_o but_o certain_o believe_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o due_a time_n like_o a_o thankful_a pilgrim_n or_o a_o man_n even_o overjoy_v with_o unexpected_a but_o yet_o assure_a hope_n he_o begin_v to_o study_v with_o himself_o what_o he_o shall_v render_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o all_o these_o benefit_n promise_v unto_o he_o and_o not_o find_v any_o better_a mean_n to_o express_v his_o thankfulness_n he_o vow_v a_o vow_n in_o my_o text_n say_v if_o god_n will_v be_v with_o i_o etc._n etc._n of_o which_o vow_n there_o be_v two_o part_n the_o first_o be_v petitio_fw-la a_o request_n which_o he_o desire_v of_o god_n the_o second_o be_v promissio_fw-la a_o duty_n which_o he_o promise_v to_o perform_v to_o god_n the_o petition_n in_o these_o word_n if_o god_n will_v be_v with_o i_o and_o will_v keep_v i_o in_o this_o way_n that_o i_o go_v and_o will_v give_v i_o bread_n to_o eat_v and_o raiment_n to_o put_v on_o so_o that_o i_o come_v again_o to_o my_o father_n house_n in_o peace_n the_o duty_n which_o he_o promise_v to_o perform_v in_o lieu_n of_o this_o benefit_n be_v threefold_a 1._o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v his_o god_n 2._o that_o the_o stone_n which_o he_o have_v set_v up_o for_o a_o pillar_n shall_v be_v god_n house_n 3._o that_o of_o all_o that_o god_n shall_v give_v he_o he_o will_v give_v unto_o god_n the_o ten_o of_o which_o point_n in_o order_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o text_n and_o first_o of_o the_o petition_n or_o request_n which_o as_o you_o see_v be_v very_o moderate_a and_o reasonable_a for_o whereas_o god_n have_v promise_v unto_o jacob_n four_o thing_n jacob_n do_v not_o desire_v all_o nor_o half_a nor_o the_o three_o part_n of_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v but_o content_v himself_o with_o the_o last_o and_o least_o of_o all_o those_o four_o thing_n and_o desire_v nothing_o but_o only_a necessary_n for_o the_o present_a not_o quail_n or_o manna_n for_o delight_n but_o only_o bread_n for_o necessity_n that_o be_v necessary_a food_n not_o purple_a and_o fine_a linen_n for_o pomp_n but_o only_o raiment_n to_o put_v on_o that_o be_v necessary_a clothes_n not_o the_o attendance_n of_o many_o servant_n but_o only_o the_o protection_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n without_o which_o neither_o his_o food_n nor_o raiment_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o can_v do_v he_o good_a nor_o himself_o either_o be_v well_o or_o be_v but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o isaac_n who_o be_v exceed_o rich_a send_v forth_o his_o son_n jacob_n who_o by_o god_n providence_n be_v now_o late_o make_v his_o heir_n so_o exceed_o poor_a that_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o petition_v for_o food_n and_o raiment_n whereas_o abraham_n his_o father_n send_v forth_o his_o very_a servant_n upon_o the_o like_a journey_n rich_o furnish_v and_o sumptuous_o attend_v be_v abraham_n servant_n better_a than_o isaac_n son_n 21._o to_o omit_v the_o diverse_a allegory_n which_o saint_n augustine_n and_o gregory_n have_v observe_v upon_o this_o passage_n the_o reason_n as_o theodoret_n and_o other_o have_v well_o sum_v they_o up_o may_v be_v these_o 1._o vt_fw-la fratris_fw-la conatus_fw-la melius_fw-la declinaret_fw-la that_o go_v poor_o and_o private_o his_o brother_n esau_n may_v not_o so_o easy_o miss_v he_o nor_o know_v which_o way_n to_o pursue_v after_o he_o 2._o that_o this_o misery_n may_v move_v he_o brother_n to_o compassion_n and_o reconciliation_n 3._o vt_fw-la animus_fw-la esset_fw-la revertendi_fw-la that_o carry_v no_o wealth_n with_o he_o to_o

of_o god_n mercy_n as_o indeed_o he_o have_v for_o which_o he_o return_v thanks_n unto_o god_n at_o his_o return_n in_o the_o 32._o chap._n jacob_n poverty_n may_v teach_v we_o that_o although_o
