29.20 Servivit ergo Jacob pro Rachel septem annis. Servitus Jacob septem annorum pro duabus uxoribus, præsentis vitæ tempus signat, quod septem diebus volvitur; in quo Dominus formam servi accepit, obediens Patri usque ad mortem. Jacob servivit, quia filius hominis non venit ministrari, sed ministrare Matth. 20: Ille oves pavit, et Christus dixit Joan. 10: Ego sum pastor bonus. Ille pro mercede varium pecus sibi abstulit: Christus diversarum gentium varietatem sibi congregavit. Ille tres virgas amputatis corticibus in alveis aquarum posuit, ut earum contemplatione multiplicarentur oves: et Dominus noster in aqua baptismatis trium personarum nomina Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus sancti, populo fideli proposuit, ut qui hoc pleno corde prospexerit, efficiatur ovis Dei. Et videbantur illi pauci dies, etc. Quomodo hoc dictum sit quærendum est, cum et breve tempus longum videatur amantibus? Dictum est ergo propter laborem servitutis, quem facilem faciebat amor. AUG., lib. XXII contra Faustum. Pro ingenti crimine objiciuntur Jacob quatuor uxores.

Act. 8 ISID. Duæ liberæ uxores Jacob, quia duæ vitæ nobis in corpore Jesu Christi prædicantur, etc., usque ad Sed hoc non potest in terra morientium, quod his verbis significatur.
