1. For Bodies: One was rough and Hairy, the other was smooth and Plain. This is seldom seen in Children begot and borne of the same Parents; but seldom or never in two borne at one birth. And we may go so far with the Physiognomer to say, That Complexion (though not guides,) yet inclines the inward Disposition.

2. For Disposition of Mind; this Text shows a wide and opposite difference: Esau was a cunning Hunter, a man of the Field: But Jacob a plain man, dwelling in Tents. And Gregory observes from this example,1 the remoteness or contrariety of Worldlings & Holy mens delights. Men of the World hunt after the pleasures of the World as Esau: Men of Grace give themselves to the contemplation and study of Virtue, as Jacob.
