His next brother’s name was _Andrew_, a citizen of _London_, who was with him sometimes; but (his necessary business calling him away) he could not then be by. Yet he was not forgot, but he was thus blessed, _The God of heaven remember my poor brother at_ London; _the Lord make him truly rich in giving him the pearl of great price, and make him a fellow citizen with the saints, and of the houshold of God; the Lord deliver him from the sins of that city; may the world be kept out of his heart. Oh that he may be as his name is, a strong man, and that I may meet him with you_. _Then_ he called his next brother whose name was _James_ (whom God had made him a spiritual father to) and said _brother_ James, _I hope the Lord hath given thee a goodly heritage; the lines are fallen to thee in pleasant places: the Lord is thy portion_. I _hope the Lord hath shewed thee the worth of Christ_. Hold on, dear brother; Christ, heaven and glory, are worth striving for; the Lord give thee more abundance of his grace. _Then_ his next brother _Abraham_ was called, to whom he spake to this purpose, _the blessing of the God of_ Abraham _rest upon thee, the Lord make thee a father of many spiritual children_. His _fifth_ brother was _Joseph_, whom he blessed in this manner; _Let him bless thee, Oh_ Joseph, _that blessed him that was separated from his brethren. O that his everlasting arms may take hold on thee! It is enough, if yet thou mayest live in his sight. My heart hath been working toward thee poor_ Joseph; _and I am not without hopes, that the arms of the Almighty will embrace thee. The God of thy father bless thee with the blessing of heaven above._ _The next_ was his sister Mary, to whom he spoke thus, _poor sister_ Mary, _thy body is weak and thy days will ♦be filled with bitterness; thy name is_ Marah; _the Lord sweeten all with his grace and peace, and give thee health in thy soul. Be patient, make sure of Christ, and all is well._ ♦ “he” replaced with “be” _Then_ his other sister whose name was _Sarah_ was called; whom he thus blessed, _Sister_ Sarah, _thy body is strong and healthful: Oh that thy soul may be so too! The Lord make thee first a wise virgin, and then a mother in_ Israel; _a pattern of modesty, humility, and holiness_. _Then_ another brother, _Jacob_ was called, whom he blessed after this manner; _The Lord make thee an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile! Oh that thou mayest learn to wrestle with God, and like a prince mayest prevail, and not go without a blessing_. Then he prayed for his youngest brother _Benjamin_, who was then but an infant; _Poor little_ Benjamin, _O that the Father of the fatherless, would take care of the poor child, that thou, which never sawest thy father upon earth, mayest see him with joy in heaven; The Lord be thy Father, and portion: mayest thou prove the son of thy mother’s right hand, and the joy of her age._
