Another mercy of God,1 was the providing of Joseph as a man before to maintain him and his family in Egypt, and bringing him to see Joseph, and enjoy his preferment for seventeen years together, where he lived in as great a fullness of prosperity, and concluded his days as happily as ever man did, living in Josephs bosom as it were, seeing all his children godly and prosperous, and feeling no considerable adversity, having Josephs oath also to bury him in Canaan. This is a singular favour of God, to make ones old age prosperous, and to cause his eyes to see so much happiness as he can wish, when now he is ready to leave the world. Mark the righteous man in the Psalm, it is said, The end of that man is peace. Study righteousness, that you may inherit this blessing, and never threaten your selves how miserable you shall be hereafter: God can provide ways that you know not, to make you safe and comfortable beyond your thoughts. O be faithful with him, and trust in him, and fear nothing. So much for Jacobs life.

This is a singular favour of God, to make ones old age prosperous, and to cause his eyes to see so much happinesse as he can wish, when now he is ready to leave the world. Marke the righteous man in the Psalme, it is said, The end of that man is peace. Study righteousnesse, that you may inherite this blessing, and never threaten your selves how miserable you shall be hereafter: God can provide wayes that you know not, to make you safe and comfortable beyond your thoughts. O be faithfull with him, and trust in him, and feare nothing. So much for Iacobs life.
