Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 7:7

7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were moe in number than any people: (for ye were the sewest of all people .)

To wit, at that time when God first declared his love to you, and choice of you for his [illegible: 1 word] people, which was done to Abraham For [illegible: 1 word] had but one Son concerned in this choice and covenant, to wit, [illegible: 1 word] ▪ and that was in his hundredth year; and [illegible: 1 word] was 60 years old ere he had a Child▪ and then had onely two Children; and though Jacob had 12 Sons, yet it was a long time ere they made any considerable increase. Nor do we read of any great multiplication of them till after [illegible: 1 word] death, Exod. 1. 6, [illegible: 1+ letters].
