1But now a word of the common goodness of all, first to their Father, they all gathered together to comfort him when he was in his great and exceeding sadness. This was well done, though they had wronged him in being a cause of his sorrow, yet it may seem they were greatly troubled to think of their naughtiness, and were careful to to use all means of restoring him to contentment again. But ah what bitter accusations must those their words reflect upon their own selves which they used to comfort their Father? How could they choose but almost bewray themselves by blushing one while and paleness another through the cheeks of their own consciences, when ever they heard him, as often no doubt they did hear him name the name of Joseph? But howsoever, it was commendably done that now they sought to assuage his sorrows.2 All good children should strive to minister matter of comfort to their grieved Parents, and it is an heinous and unnatural hardness to do otherwise.
