8. It causeth men to be inhumane, and to eat one another's 1flesh, (Zac. 11. 9.) and not to spare the nearest and dearest they have. For it causeth husbands to eat the flesh of their wives: wives of their husbands: parents of their children: tender mothers of their children new borne, (Deut. 28. 54, 55, 56, 57.) There is an express instance of this kind of inhumanity in the siege of Samaria. (2 King. 6. 29. Read also Lam. 2. 20.)
