Jacob, Patriarch

Hermetis saith It is a single Numen, a divine, wondrous, and holy office, while it encloseththe whole world within it, and will become true with all else, and truly overcometh the elements and the five substances. Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither have entered the heart of any man, how the heaven hath naturally embodied to truth of this Spirit, in it the truth doth stand alone, therefore it is called the voice of truth. To this power Adam and the other patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, owed their bodily health, their long life, and finally prospered in great wealth thereby. 

The Milesians also traced their ancestry to Gad, who was one of the sons of the patriarch Jacob. The leader of the tribe, Gadelius, was the grandson of the king of Scythia. 

For the legend of how the Trojan Bmtus landed in Britain, we turn to the patriarch Joseph in Egypt. Upon his death, the sons of Judea mled according to the blessing of Jacob. The Keltoi Israelites fell from power and fled from Egypt to Troy, thence to Spain and London. The line of Zarah, the first-bom of Jacob, arrived in Ireland from the Near East in the days of David.
