THE ONE AND TWENTIETH EXAMPLE.
OF LABAN.
WE have spoken of Jacobs self, and of his Wives;1 now I will go on to speak of his Uncle, and so of his Children.2 His Uncle and Father in law was one Laban of Padan Aram, of whose birth and death the Scripture takes no notice at all: and indeed it is scarce worth the while to mention the birth and death of wicked men. It is no great matter, when they were borne, or when they died, seeing both their coming into the world, and their departure out of it do perish, for they come to nothing, and both come in and go out as it were in an evil time.
