1But her crosses that she felt with her husband in respect of her children's ill carriage were heavy; for a good woman cannot be senseless of her husbands sorrows, only death shut up her eyes from beholding that cross which in likelihood would have killed her quite, seeing it went so near to Jacob; she was dead afore Joseph was taken away from them.

- 12. Her childrens carriage was ill.
1But her benefits were common benefits of health, strength, maintenance, and the like, and she had beauty, and her husbands love, and after her prayers were heard, and a son given her, and it pleased God to hide her fault which she committed in stealing her Fathers Idols, which if it had come to light, would have much provoked her Fathers anger, and her husbands. We must observe even such mercies, to be thankful to God that hath not dealt with us after our sins. And we hope that she was a godly woman too, because she prayed to God; and it is said, God remembered her and heard her: but her death was an heavy death, she dyed in childbed, or in travel, and took it heavily, calling her son, The son of her sorrows, whom after Jacob called The son of his right hand; Women with child should even prepare for death, they pass through the danger of it. And me thinks, notwithstanding whatsoever hath been to the contrary, delivering out of childbed-perils is a mercy that may well be acknowledged with a public and solemn giving of thanks, and a feast. ⟨p. 105⟩
