and_o they_o say_v one_o unto_o another_o very_o we_o be_v guilty_a concern_v our_o brother_n in_o that_o we_o see_v the_o anguish_n of_o his_o soul_n when_o he_o beseech_v we_o and_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v therefore_o this_o distress_n be_v come_v upon_o we_o the_o text_n refer_v to_o the_o tragical_a story_n of_o joseph_n sale_n by_o his_o brethren_n the_o occasion_n of_o which_o severity_n towards_o he_o you_o have_v mention_v viz._n their_o envy_n to_o he_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o dream_n he_o have_v of_o his_o advancement_n and_o preferment_n above_o they_o and_o

therefore_o say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o you_o but_o god_n that_o send_v i_o hither_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o way_n and_o method_n god_n take_v many_o time_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v his_o design_n be_v strange_a and_o improbable_a to_o we_o this_o be_v a_o most_o unlikely_a way_n in_o a_o eye_n of_o reason_n to_o joseph_n advancement_n yet_o it_o be_v god_n way_n when_o joseph_n

they_o know_v it_o be_v their_o sell_a brother_n joseph_n that_o they_o bow_v to_o for_o bread_n according_a to_o his_o dream_n in_o the_o bow_n of_o the_o sheaf_n god_n now_o bring_v affliction_n upon_o they_o and_o joseph_n he_o deal_v rough_o with_o they_o by_o way_n of_o probation_n and_o temptation_n and_o now_o they_o find_v themselves_o bryered_a and_o plunge_v into_o a_o pit_n of_o distress_n they_o all_o joint_o reflect_v upon_o themselves_o to_o search_v and_o make_v a_o discovery_n of_o the_o matter_n as_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o in_o which_o we_o have_v 1._o their_o reflection_n 2._o we_o have_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o 1._o we_o have_v their_o selfreflection_n and_o accusation_n and_o they_o say_v one_o to_o another_o we_o be_v very_o guilty_a etc._n etc._n as_o one_o say_v well_o upon_o it_o we_o have_v here_o the_o force_n of_o conscience_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o affliction_n conscience_n call_v old_a sin_n to_o a_o new_a reckon_a faithful_a in_o record_v and_o fearful_a in_o accuse_v 2._o we_o have_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o joseph_n handle_v they_o severe_o and_o put_v they_o in_o ward_n three_o day_n and_o bind_v they_o to_o the_o term_n of_o bring_v down_o their_o young_a brother_n which_o they_o know_v be_v hard_a term_n because_o their_o father_n life_n be_v bind_v up_o in_o he_o 3._o we_o have_v far_o in_o the_o text_n their_o
