1Again, Jacob was somewhat tied towards Benjamin, and would not suffer him to go out of his sight, for fear lest evil should betide him by the way, and rather endured to be almost starved, than to hazard him in a journey. This was a little too immoderate love, and fear too; but he had lost one son in a journey, and he is to be somewhat more pitied in this fear, because of that former loss; yet at last he suffered himself to be over-persuaded by Judah. Indeed at first he was over-peremptory, My son shall not go down: Take heed of these faults,2 take heed of being so fond and over-fearful of your children, so that you cannot suffer them to take necessary journeys lest they may miscarry: and be not over-resolute in any thing, this I will not do, that I will not do; God may have purposed that that shall be done which thou resolvest shall not; be not over-settled in a purpose about things of this nature, for against sinful deeds a man must be resolute, and it is better to fail of keeping ones resolution, than not to have it, and that also strong.
