Of the Trauels of Esau.

ESau trauelled from mount Sier in Mesopotamia, to the towne of Pnuell or Penuell, eightie miles to meet his brother Iacob: where the singular ciuilitie and humili∣tie of Iacob towards him, is worthy obseruation. For hee first sent to meet him, then hee did him obedience to the ground seuen seuerall times, and so saluted him, saying, Loe, these are the children which God of his grace haue giuing his seruant. From whence it may be gathered, That it becommeth euery man (if it be possible) to win his enemy to peace and concord rather by humanitie and humilitie, than by force: for Esau seeing this kind of reuerence, though before he had a full determination to doe him violence, yet now he comes to meet him, embraces him, takes him about the necke, beginnes to weepe, and kisses him, yea such was their loue, that they both wept with joy, Gen. 35.

After, Esau returning, went home to Sier backe againe, eightie miles: these things hapned in the yeare of the World 2206; when both brethren were about 89 yeares of age, and in the yeare before Christ 1762.
