This circumstance well observed, serves greatly for the commendation of them both: of Abraham the Father that had so religiously brought up his only ⟨p. 317⟩Son; that was most deer unto him, that he would not resist the will of GOD revealed unto him, though it cost him his life. Oh that Parents would follow Abraham, in so doing to their children; then would it go well with the Church of GOD. Again, Isaacs behaviour is here admirable, that he would not resist his weak and aged Father, but suffereth him to bind him, and to lay him on the Altar; yielding himself unto death, when his Father told him, My son, GOD will have it so.
This circumstance well obserued, serues greatly for the commendation of them both: of Abraham the Father that had so religiouslie brought vp his onelie ⟨p. 317⟩Sonne; that was most deere vnto him, that hee would not resist the will of GOD reuealed vnto him, though it cost him his life.
