jacob_n and_o by_o his_o father_n word_n at_o the_o denounce_v of_o his_o blessing_n by_o thy_o sword_n shall_v thou_o live_v but_o as_o nimrod_n so_o esau_n for_o all_o his_o plot_v and_o threaten_v

hundred_o man_n a_o great_a company_n in_o those_o day_n and_o from_o he_o spring_v many_o duke_n and_o king_n the_o first_o that_o i_o read_v of_o duke_n in_o sacred_a writ_n as_o appear_v in_o his_o genealogy_n so_o it_o be_v very_o conspicuous_a that_o esau_n bend_v all_o his_o mind_n for_o the_o obtain_n worldly_a honour_n and_o applause_n yet_o note_v it_o further_o in_o the_o story_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v want_v good_a cheer_n to_o fulfil_v his_o wanton_a appetite_n he_o will_v sell_v his_o birthright_n like_o many_o flourish_a gallant_n in_o our_o day_n that_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v leave_v their_o lascivious_a course_n in_o game_n revel_a and_o swagger_a will_v make_v sale_n of_o all_o that_o their_o parent_n and_o friend_n leave_v they_o for_o what_o care_v esau_n for_o his_o father_n blessing_n so_o he_o may_v fare_v well_o and_o go_v brave_o according_a to_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o country_n here_o i_o may_v touch_v the_o vanity_n of_o fantastic_a apparel_n in_o these_o day_n but_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a and_o thererefore_o pass_v it_o over_o and_o come_v to_o consider_v how_o isaac_n like_v all_o this_o alas_o good_a man_n he_o can_v not_o perceive_v it_o the_o love_n of_o venison_n have_v blind_v his_o eye_n now_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v what_o venison_n it_o be_v that_o isaac_n love_v i_o read_v that_o rebeccas_fw-la savoury_n meat_n be_v two_o kid_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v esau_n launt_v for_o a_o buck_n or_o a_o do_v a_o stag_n or_o a_o hind_n but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o express_v in_o a_o metaphorical_a exposition_n i_o surmise_v it_o be_v his_o flatter_a insinuate_a and_o collogue_a disposition_n for_o sure_o isaac_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o see_v that_o esau_n be_v worldly_a mind_v both_o by_o his_o habit_n and_o behaviour_n but_o especial_o in_o the_o choice_n of_o his_o wife_n who_o idolatrous_a and_o rebellious_a course_n be_v a_o grief_n of_o mind_n to_o he_o and_o rebecca_n so_o that_o she_o complain_v that_o she_o be_v weary_a of_o her_o life_n for_o the_o daughter_n of_o heth_n yet_o isaac_n for_o the_o love_n of_o venison_n so_o powerful_a be_v natural_a affection_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o mankind_n call_v to_o give_v he_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o elder_a brother_n and_o forget_v jacob_n who_o have_v before_o purchase_v that_o birthright_n of_o which_o i_o believe_v his_o father_n be_v not_o ignorant_a like_o many_o rich_a man_n in_o these_o day_n that_o as_o the_o proverb_n be_v love_v to_o have_v their_o elbow_n claw_v and_o delight_n to_o think_v their_o posterity_n shall_v flourish_v in_o the_o world_n after_o their_o decease_n care_v not_o what_o they_o give_v to_o maintain_v pride_n and_o prodigality_n but_o take_v little_a or_o no_o care_n at_o all_o for_o the_o poor_a and_o destitute_a in_o the_o last_o place_n i_o be_o to_o show_v how_o esau_n be_v prevent_v in_o that_o he_o intend_v and_o how_o isaac_n reward_v he_o for_o his_o venison_n for_o the_o first_o while_o esau_n be_v hunt_v to_o get_v savoury_a meat_n such_o as_o his_o father_n love_v rebecca_n that_o know_v her_o husband_n appetite_n as_o well_o as_o esau_n and_o can_v blind_v his_o judgement_n as_o well_o as_o his_o sight_n dainty_o cheat_v he_o because_o she_o love_v jacob_n in_o who_o she_o see_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n shine_v bright_a and_o do_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o promise_n according_a as_o god_n tell_v she_o at_o his_o birth_n that_o the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a and_o as_o she_o perceive_v by_o his_o religious_a and_o godly_a exercise_n in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n therefore_o she_o prepare_v savoury_a meat_n such_o as_o she_o know_v her_o husband_n love_v and_o compel_v jacob_n her_o young_a son_n to_o present_v it_o to_o his_o father_n in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o brother_n who_o very_o fearful_a of_o a_o curse_n rather_o than_o a_o blessing_n do_v perform_v her_o will_n for_o he_o know_v such_o cunning_n plot_v and_o indirect_a mean_n by_o hypocrisy_n and_o dissimulation_n to_o accomplish_v their_o design_n be_v both_o hateful_a to_o man_n and_o abominable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n yet_o i_o note_v it_o to_o show_v the_o subtlety_n of_o a_o woman_n to_o obtain_v her_o desire_n for_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o she_o persuade_v isaac_n that_o jacob_n be_v she_o elder_a son_n though_o his_o voice_n declare_v the_o contrary_n but_o p●ssing_v by_o that_o also_o i_o be_o in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o demonstrate_v what_o be_v the_o reward_n that_o esau_n receive_v for_o his_o great_a labour_n in_o hunt_v it_o be_v plain_a he_o do_v desire_n with_o balaam_n to_o have_v the_o blessing_n that_o jacob_n supplant_v he_o in_o and_o seek_v it_o with_o tear_n but_o see_v be_v can_v not_o obtain_v that_o he_o desire_v one_o blessing_n of_o his_o father_n and_o so_o according_a to_o his_o request_n enjoy_v the_o fatness_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o dew_n of_o heaven_n from_o above_o viz._n he_o live_v in_o a_o fertile_a and_o fruitful_a country_n he_o do_v not_o want_v for_o any_o earthly_a blessing_n and_o be_v a_o man_n of_o great_a power_n and_o authority_n for_o from_o his_o stock_n come_v many_o famous_a king_n as_o be_v before_o express_v so_o that_o as_o he_o hunt_v for_o worldly_a honour_n he_o do_v enjoy_v it_o now_o to_o make_v a_o conclusion_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n i_o shall_v show_v the_o love_n of_o jacob_n towards_o joseph_n the_o first_o bear_v of_o rachel_n his_o first_o love_n but_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o jacob_n fix_v his_o love_n more_o on_o he_o then_o all_o his_o brethren_n be_v it_o because_o he_o bring_v to_o their_o father_n their_o evil_a say_n no_o sure_o for_o jacob_n as_o a_o godly_a man_n do_v not_o delight_v to_o hear_v any_o slanderous_a report_n for_o he_o know_v that_o tale-bearer_n and_o busy_a body_n in_o other_o folk_n matter_n do_v set_v house_n and_o commonwealth_n in_o division_n the_o text_n render_v the_o reason_n thus_o because_o he_o beget_v he_o in_o his_o old_a age_n and_o that_o may_v very_o well_o be_v for_o experience_n show_v old_a folk_n love_v little_a child_n more_o than_o young_a do_v because_o there_o be_v a_o sympathize_v affection_n between_o they_o as_o the_o proverb_n be_v a_o old_a man_n be_v twice_o a_o child_n but_o the_o reason_n as_o i_o conceive_v why_o jacob_n love_v joseph_n more_o than_o all_o his_o brethren_n be_v because_o he_o see_v in_o he_o a_o promptitude_n to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o divine_a speculation_n more_o than_o in_o his_o brethren_n and_o that_o he_o be_v of_o a_o harmless_a innocent_a and_o sweet_a disposition_n appear_v plain_o for_o though_o he_o know_v his_o brethren_n hate_v he_o because_o of_o their_o father_n love_n towards_o he_o yet_o he_o love_v they_o and_o will_v be_v tell_v they_o his_o dream_n for_o which_o they_o hate_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v very_o improvident_o do_v for_o we_o ought_v to_o avoid_v and_o not_o to_o run_v headlong_o into_o danger_n and_o this_o rash_a converse_v with_o his_o enemy_n almost_o cost_v he_o his_o life_n first_o by_o put_v he_o into_o a_o pit_n and_o then_o sell_v he_o to_o perpetual_a slavery_n yet_o this_o be_v and_o be_v ever_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o most_o zealous_a godly_a to_o speak_v or_o do_v something_o at_o which_o the_o worldly_a wise_a take_a advantage_n of_o bring_v they_o into_o great_a persecution_n and_o trouble_n as_o it_o be_v here_o but_o what_o care_n they_o for_o such_o affliction_n if_o god_n see_v it_o good_a for_o they_o and_o what_o care_v joseph_n for_o his_o brethren_n spleen_n so_o his_o father_n note_v his_o say_n now_o if_o from_o hence_o i_o can_v learn_v according_a to_o salomon_n rule_n to_o train_n and_o bring_v up_o my_o child_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o their_o youth_n that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o forget_v it_o when_o they_o be_v old_a to_o bend_v the_o twig_n while_o it_o be_v young_a lest_o when_o it_o be_v grow_v to_o a_o tree_n it_o be_v past_o my_o
