PAR. 12.
HE citeth also David Camius thus; punctis, & notis pleraeque pecudes aspersae sunt, most of their sheepe were speckled: and these spots were not artificiall markes, or signations, but Naturall; because Camius referreth us to Iacobs, and La∣bans sheepe, Gen. 30.32. Where certainely, the sheepe were not signed by men, or in wooll, or fell, (as the Country-man speaketh) but were as they were yeaned, of distinct, naturall Markes; and most were spotted; therefore more apt for such sacri∣fices, then others. This I am sure of, advantageous Laban chose out for himselfe, and his sonnes, both the spotted, and all the parti-coloured at one time, and at ano∣ther time, or times, left not one to Iacob, Gen. 30 which he would not have done, if he had not thought that way profitablest: and I am sure also, Iacob desired the spotted ones, for his hire, ver. 32. which he would not have covenanted; but that he hoped; it would turne to his gaine; as it did by the approbation of the Almigh∣ty, who onely knoweth what is best.
