and mourned for his sonne] There was more cause to mourne for the wickednesse of his sonnes, that were alive, if he had knowne what they had done, then for Joseph if he had beene dead; for if wild beasts had devoured his body, that is to the soule but as a garment to it; but with this difference, that though the garment may be cut, or pierced, or torne with the body, or the body may be wounded the garment kept whole, yet the soule can never be harmed by any outward violence; for the wounds of the body are but out-lets of the soule of the just to a state of libertie and safetie; so that they, that sorrow overmuch for the death of their holy friends, are as Jacob washing the bloudy coat of his sonne with his teares, when his body was rescued out of deadly danger.
