First, He was a poor exile, he was fain to fly for his 1life, even from his fathers house; And then when he did fly, he fled to his Uncle, and what was he there? a poor Servant, he lived in two hard Apprenticeships (as it were) he found his Uncle Laban to be a very hard Master to him for seven years, and for seven years after that behaved himself roughly and rigidly with him, and ⟨p. 357⟩changing his wages often, and carrying himself very proudly and haughtily towards him; saith he, Do not forget the meanness of Jacob, he fled thus: And there he would have a Wife, and when he had a Wife, He had no dowry, but be was fain to serve, for his condition was so low and mean. That's the first end why the Prophet brings in Jacob here again, to take them off from too high a conceit of Jacob their Father, that they should not rest themselves in him, nor pride themselves in his excellency.
