We cannot goe downe] In the 43. Chap. vers. 5. Judahs words are we will not goe downe, but here rehearsing them to Joseph he saith, we cannot goe downe; this repeating is a kind of repenting, or correcting of his phrase: we will not, hath a savour of contumacie in it, we cannot, may agree with filiall duty; the former was said to Jacob on a sudden, the latter upon better advice, as under the awe of a superiour power of which he was to expect rather justice then favour. So we see second considerations are wiser then the first, and that feare will amend the faults which familiarity commits.
