i_o have_v love_v jacob_n and_o have_v hate_v esau_n in_o which_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v that_o jacob_n be_v not_o for_o his_o forseen_v work_n belove_v of_o god_n with_o the_o love_n of_o

be_v hate_v for_o the_o only_a ostentation_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o justice_n without_o respect_n of_o their_o merit_n and_o demerit_n answer_n by_o jacob_n &_o esau_n be_v understand_v two_o

people_n descend_v of_o esaw_n with_o their_o head_n it_o follow_v that_o this_o love_n towards_o jacob_n be_v in_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n to_o give_v to_o the_o synagogue_n those_o previledge_n by_o help_n of_o which_o many_o be_v save_v and_o predestinate_a and_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n in_o this_o place_n towards_o esaw_n and_o his_o posterity_n be_v nought_o else_o then_o less_o love_n who_o god_n will_v not_o prevent_v with_o such_o singular_a previledge_n but_o permit_v they_o with_o their_o head_n to_o fall_v in_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v obdurate_a in_o sin_n and_o

because_o of_o the_o will_n of_o the_o caller_n and_o not_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o one_o or_o demerit_n of_o the_o other_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v love_v jacob_n and_o hate_v esau_n and_o to_o give_v a_o token_n of_o his_o love_n he_o say_v that_o the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a which_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n we_o read_v in_o no_o scripture_n that_o esau_n ever_o serve_v jacob_n neither_o do_v he_o absolute_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n of_o predestination_n and_o reprobation_n &_o yet_o notwithstanding_o so_o he_o speak_v of_o those_o ground_n in_o which_o
