But after the second child she is more foolish,1 and then she triumphs, With wrestlings of God have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: And so the boys name must needs be Naphtali. She insults over her sister, as for a notable victory, because she had won her husband so far, as to beget children of her handmaid. Why saith she that she had wrestled with her sister? Did Leah hinder her from children? Was it because of Jacobs doting on Leah, that Rachel conceived not? Sure the Holy Ghost tells us that his over-loving of her, and despising of her sister caused God to humble her with barrenness.

So foolish is a man, that he often triumphs in a thing as a great matter, which is nothing at all, and thinks he hath gotten a victory, when he hath rather gotten a blot, as we see here in Rachel. Let us moderate our joys, and take heed of insulting in a thing that hath showed our folly, and else nothing advantaged us.
