It is a great mercy if God repress the wrath of men towards any, so that when they have both provocation and power, yet they be restrained from taking vengeance; God hath the hearts of men in his hand and can if he pleaseth and often doth over-rule and over-awe them in this manner.

1Lastly, they had a good friend sent down to Egypt to provide for them, that their families and themselves might not perish by famine, and he forgetting all their cruelty and injustice took care of them and their children, comforting and succouring and countenancing them even after their Father was dead, so that they lived most comfortably during his life. This is a most remarkable favour, that God provides long before for the helping of his people out of distress, and that by such ways as they could never guess, of advancing such persons, as they did least conceive should be helpful to them, and inclining their hearts to do them good, of whom they could least expect kindness. But see the folly of man that is often bitter against those things, by which God intends their great welfare, as Josephs Brethren against his preferment, without which they had perished.
