Excerpt from The Benefits of Affliction: A Sermon on Occasion of the Death of General Philip St. George Cocke, Preached at His Late Residence, in Powhatan County, Va;, On the 28th December, 1861 A series of trying events had befallen the patriarch Jacob. It had not been long since the blood-stained coat Of Joseph had been brought to him, when, supposing his son had been rent in pieces by wild beasts, he had exclaimed, I will go down into the grave, unto my son mourning. N ow his sons' return from Egypt, with the dreadful tidings that the lord Of the country, under the accusation that they were spies, had cast Simeon into prison, and had sworn by the life Of Pharaoh, that they should not see his face any more, unless they brought Benjamin down. This brought from the afflicted patriarch the deep complaint of the text. The complaint, however, was groundless. The very things that he, in his ignorance, deplores as against him, soon turned out to be greatly for him. Could he have looked beyond the cloud, he would have seen Joseph yet alive and lord Of Egypt, Simeon under a brother's care, Benjamin going to a brother's arms, and all waiting to receive and bless him in his Old age.
