It appeares, that Esaus delight was not to surprise tame Beastes, that did him seruice; but wilde: For, against the former, there needed no such cunning. How easily is the Oxe brought to the Yoake, the Horse to the Bitte, the Lambe to the Slaughter? His intention and contention was against wild and noxious creatures.
This Observation teacheth us to do no violence to the Beasts, that serve us. Solomon stamps this Mark on the good mans Fore-head, that he is merciful to his Beast.

God opened the mouth of an Asse to reprooue the folly of Balaam; who strucke her vndeseruedly for not going forward, when Gods Angell stood ad oppositum.
