1. God himself is the feast-maker: he is Land-lord of the world, and •illeth every living thing with goodness. The Eagles and Lions seek their meat at God. But though all the sons of Jacob have good cheer from Joseph yet Benjamin's mess exceeds. Esau shall have the prosperity of the earth, but Jacob goes away with the blessing. Ismael may have outward favours, but the inheritance belongs to Izhak ▪ The King favoureth all his subjects, but they of his Court stand in his presence, & partake of his Princely graces. Gods bounty extends to the wicked also, but the Saints shall only sit at his table ⟨p. 196⟩in Heaven. This is that feaster, hqui est super omnia, et sine quo nulla sunt omnia. iOf him, and through him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever.
