teH'a'? The adjective "goodly" has two meanings. One is "beautiful,
attractive" which I don't think applies well here. In this context, I
am pretty sure it was intended to be the other meaning, something like
"remarkably large or numerous". The phrase "a company" also suggests
to me that he's talking about a group of people rather than a single
companion. Seeing "all together" instead of "both together" later,
along with a description of a multiplicity of worshippers, confirms it
in my mind.
