And then the last thing is this which God spake to us there, he tells us of the constancy of his Mercy and faithfulness, 1that however things may go with us here for a while, yet the merry of God continues, the line of Gods mercy is not cut asunder, but his faithfulness is carried along till all the good that he hath promised, or that Faith can believe shall be granted to us, for so he tells Jacob there, I will not leave thee till I have done that which I have spoke to thee of. All this he spake with us. That's the first time of Gods meeting with Jacob in Bethel.

All this he spake with us. That's the first time of Gods meeting with Iacob in Bethel.
- 1Obs. 10.
Now the Second time that he met with Jacob in Bethel, it is in Gen. 35. 10. and there see what God spake with 1us, there God changes his Name to Israel, there God confirms his Promise and Covenant to him again as before, God there remembers his prevailing with him, and his wrestling with him, and in that God tells us he remembers our fervent prayers, after they are gone, yet his heart is upon them, there he confirmed his name, Israel; and confirmed his Promise; That's that he spake with us there too.
