1Another cross that befell him in his Fathers house, was this, his brother Esau was bitter against him, and resolved to kill him. A miserable calamity to be hated of his own brother, and to have his own brother, yea a twin, borne at the same time, to hate him so sharply, as to intend his death. You must look for such a cross, and bear it if it come, and bless God if he have pleased to keep you from suffering it; so that your brothers and kindred agree well with you, and rather show you kindness.

1A third cross, was his flight into Padan Aram, and being benighted in the way, in a solitary and desert place all alone, which yet was mitigated by the goodness of God appearing to him in a dream. To be driven out of one Country, and forced to hard and solitary travel, and to meet with such kind of accidents, as benighting, and the like, be calamities; we must even prepare for them, that we may bear them without discouragement, as seeing God in them, and considering that he is with us, when we want other company.
