jacob_n himself_o be_v leave_v alone_o when_o there_o come_v a_o man_n and_o wrestle_v with_o he_o the_o text_n say_v a_o man_n but_o it_o be_v god_n in_o the_o form_n of_o man_n which_o wrestle_v as_o it_o be_v a_o very_a extraordinary_a thing_n &_o strange_a why_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o such_o as_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o so_o be_v it_o a_o notable_a thing_n and_o full_a of_o

say_v that_o god_n see_v how_o he_o can_v not_o prevail_v against_o jacob_n which_o note_v not_o so_o much_o strength_n in_o jacob_n as_o mercy_n in_o god_n ever_o kind_a and_o full_a of_o mercy_n compare_v it_o with_o a_o speech_n not_o unlike_a unto_o it_o in_o the_o 19_o of_o genesis_n where_o it_o be_v say_v i_o can_v do_v nothing_o till_o thou_o be_v go_v etc._n etc._n god_n can_v 19.22_o be_v his_o will_v not_o for_o love_v that_o he_o have_v unto_o his_o child_n and_o like_v to_o be_v even_o overcome_v by_o their_o faith_n six_o he_o touch_v the_o hollow_a of_o jacobs_n thigh_n and_o it_o be_v loose_v so_o that_o jacob_n hault_v whereby_o we_o may_v see_v how_o the_o godly_a wrestle_n with_o temptation_n in_o this_o life_n and_o overcome_v sure_o sic_fw-la vincunt_fw-la ut_fw-la

not_o be_v content_a only_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o or_o while_o we_o think_v good_a but_o even_o so_o long_o endure_v his_o good_a pleasure_n till_o himself_o do_v give_v over_o of_o himself_o not_o prescribe_v nor_o appoint_v by_o we_o which_o because_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n for_o our_o frailty_n to_o do_v therefore_o we_o may_v bold_o pray_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v in_o mercy_n consider_v our_o strength_n and_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n lie_v no_o more_o upon_o we_o than_o he_o will_v make_v we_o able_a to_o bear_v but_o give_v the_o issue_n with_o the_o

the_o lord_n when_o soever_o we_o be_v try_v and_o even_o so_o hearty_a and_o comfortable_a that_o we_o as_o it_o be_v compel_v the_o lord_n to_o bless_v we_o ere_o he_o go_v that_o be_v by_o his_o merciful_a sweetness_n to_o comfort_v our_o heart_n and_o to_o make_v we_o more_o and_o more_o confirm_v in_o all_o virtue_n and_o obedience_n towards_o he_o yield_v we_o our_o prayer_n as_o far_o as_o it_o may_v any_o way_n stand_v with_o the_o same_o with_o force_n and_o violence_n as_o it_o be_v offer_v on_o our_o part_n to_o the_o lord_n he_o high_o esteem_v and_o rich_o reward_v evermore_o thus_o do_v the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n wrestle_v with_o he_o and_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v till_o he_o have_v bless_v she_o in_o her_o daughter_n 4.30_o thus_o do_v anna_n wrestle_v with_o he_o for_o a_o child_n and_o let_v he_o not_o go_v till_o she_o have_v he_o and_o so_o many_o other_o faithful_a man_n and_o faithful_a woman_n in_o their_o several_a case_n and_o thus_o do_v you_o see_v how_o profitable_a a_o thing_n this_o wrestle_n of_o god_n with_o jacob_n be_v if_o it_o be_v well_o consider_v many_o be_v the_o conflict_n of_o all_o they_o that_o will_v serve_v god_n with_o a_o
