But other faults he is to be blamed for in respect of his Parents:
1First, he abused his old Father with lies and dissembling; the lie it self and dissimulation we meddle not with in it self, but that he bare so little respect unto aged Isaac, as to go about to mock him with tricks and tales. Indeed before his doing of it his conscience told him, that this was a sin, and yet he was induced by his Mother to do it. So he sinned in this against his conscience.

Have any of you done the like offence, but in a worse manner, and to a worse end towards your Fathers, to hide your faults, or to wrest money from them to serve the turn of your inordinate lusts, flapped them in the mouth, as our proverb is, with leasings, and abased the weakness of their senses, memory or discretion, with cheating tricks. This is a villainy, God punished it severely in Jacob, though he did it at his Mothers instigation, and that to keep his Father from giving away the blessing. How much more must God punish in you, that perhaps have done it oftener, and that without any such motive, and to far worse purposes?
