Hello, all.
What is the meaning of "console for" in the following
passage from "The Mysteries of Udolpho":

whatever may be the evils resulting from a too
susceptible heart, nothing can be hoped from an
insensible one; that, on the other hand, is all
vice -- vice, of which the deformity is not softened, or
the effect consoled for, by any semblance or possibility
of good.

I have looked in several dictionaries, yet none listed a
meaning compatible an indirect object introcuduced via
`for'.

Not everything worth doing is worth doing well.
