1Lastly, it grieved Reuben exceedingly when he found his hopes disappointed and saw Joseph taken out of the pit, for then though he did not know what they had done with him, yet he conjectured that it was not for good that they had removed him, and therefore he rends his clothes, saying in a doleful complaint, the Lad is not yonder, and I whither shall I go? He could not think I suppose of incurring his Fathers anger for not preserving Joseph, for he might well enough conceive that the matter should never come to his Fathers knowledge, but sorrow for his former fault by which he had grieved him very much, made him exceedingly heavy, that now a new cross should fall out to poor Jacob, which he knew would crush him much more then his fault had done. So that consciousness and penitent sorrow for his former evil, made him much more loving now to his Father, much more desirous to prevent his grief, and much more discontented and troubled when he found himself prevented of the thing he desired.
