^{1 a} He acknollageth Gods benefits: who for the preseruation of his sendeth hostes of Angels.

^{1 !} God comforteth Jaakob by his Angels.

^{2 /} Or, [?].

^{4 b} He reuerenced his brother in worldlie things, because he chiefely loked to be preferrered to the spiritual promes.

^{7 c} Albeit he was comforted by the Angels, yet the infirmitie of the fleshe doeth appear.

^{9 !} He praieth vnto God, confessing his vnworthines.

^{10 /} Ebr. I am lesse then all thy mercies.

^{10 d} That is, poore and without all prouision.

^{11 e} Meaning, he wil put all to deathe: this prouerb cometh of them which killethe the birde together with her yong ones.

^{13 f} Not distrusting Gods assistance, but vsing such meanes as God had giuen him.

^{13 !} He sendeth presents vnto Esau.

^{20 /} Ebr. receiue my face.

^{20 g} He thoght it no loss to departe with these goods, to the intent he might followe the vocation whereunto God called him.

^{24 h} That is, God in forme of man.

^{24 !} He wrestled with the Angel who nameth him Israel.

^{25 i} For God assaileth his with the one hand, & vpholdeth them with the other.

^{28 k} God gaue Jaakob bothe power to ouercome and also the praise of the victorie.

^{30 /} Or, soule.

^{31 l} The faithful so ouercome their tentations, that thei fele the smart thereof, to the intent that thei shulde not glorie, but in their humilitie.
