The fifth type of figure was Lea, which 1was squint eyed, and was despised, because she was not so fair and so well favoured as her sister Rachel, and yet the Lord made her fruitful and Rachel barren: so we being despised for our barrenness in all goodness, yet the Lord in mercy made us fruitful and revived us.

The sixth figure was Manasseh & Ephraim 1the two sons of Joseph, Manasseh was the eldest, and Ephraim was the youngest. Both of them Joseph having brought to Jacob his father that he might bless them, he took Manasseh and put him towards Jacobs right hand, that he might bless him first & more plentifully, and he took Ephraim and put him towards Jacobs left hand. But Jacob stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraims head which was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh, directing his hands so of purpose, for Manasseh was the elder of them both. Thus the Lord blessed us when there was no hope left for us.
