Joel1:16
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes , yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God ?
The question does most vehemently affirm our food, what we should eat, i. e. all provision we should live upon·
Devoured by locusts, or withered with drought, 'tis perisht·
We see it, 'tis not so far off as what is foretold, 'tis under our eye.
Sacrifices fail much, and Priests have scarce enough to live upon, while free will Offerings, first Fruits and Tithes, amount to very little, not sufficient to feast the Sacrificers and Offerers, who on such occasion did use to rejoyce in the house of God.
