he gathered up his feet] Which (haply) hung down before as he sate on the bed side; and so he composed himselfe quietly and deliberately for the sleep of death, having enjoyed the use of memory and speech unto the last; and so in the one hundred fourty seventh of his age, and the yeare of the world, 2256. he yeelded up the ghost. A life and death worthy our most serious thoughts, for marke the perfect man and behold the upright, (saith David) for the end of that man is peace, Psalms 37:37. and though as perfect and upright as man may be, his peace may be put off, till towards his end; few men had more crosses in their lives, none more comfort at their deaths then Jacob: If it be our lot to follow him in afflictions, let us hold on our pietie and patience, as he did, and we shall be sure of peace at the last, a lasting peace that never shall have end.
