1As for God, he sinned surely, in forgetting himself so far as to resolve in his mind to bless his son Esau, whereas God had said, the elder shall serve the younger. He should have been mindful of that prophetical answer, which was given concerning those two sons, even when they strove in their Mothers wombs: unless we shall say, that the whole passage was so carried as it was concealed from Isaac: but that is nothing probable, it can hardly be conceived that Rebekah would not acquaint her husband, both that she felt so strange a striving in her womb, (which made her seek to God to know the matter) as also what answer she received from God. Taking that for granted which is so probable, that there is no reason to doubt of it, I say we may note a fault in good Isaac, yea good old Isaac, he forgot the Word of God which had been spoken some years before, and that so utterly, as he determined to have crossed it and gone directly against it.
