SERMON, XIII.
On the Power of Conscience.
GENESIS, xlii. 21, 22. And they said one
to another, We are verily guilty concerning
our brother, in that we saw the anguish
of his soul, when he besought us;
and we
would not hear: Therefore is this distress
come upon us. And Ruben answered,
them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying,
Do not sin against the child; and ye would
not hear? Therefore, behold also his blood
is required.
