Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Misinterpretation of Providence: A Discourse Delivered at Marblehead, December, 1846, on the Disasters at Sea, Sept. 19, 1846
This is the language of deep despondency. The venerable patriarch who makes use of it, had arrived at that period of life when the grass hopper is a burden. Famine had been added to the bereavement which he suffered from the supposed loss of his son Joseph. Simeon was now detained a prisoner in Egypt, he knew not from what evil design, and it had become necessary for Benjamin to be carried down also. The good man, not perceiving the end whereunto these things would grbw, misunderstood the providences of God, and construed them all as against him. Me have ye bereaved of my children; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.
