God hath given] The faithfull acknowledge that as the gift of God, which carnall men doe most account to come of themselves. I will blesse them] The blessing of Jacob, as of Isaac, and Abraham, was more then a meere apprecation of prosperitie; for so may the lesser blesse the greater, and so any one may blesse another; but there was more in it then so, for it was guided with an especiall energie, or operation of Gods Spirit, and so ratified by God, as ordinary blessings were not. See Genesis 27:33.
