When the people of Jerusalem were besieged and wanted food to eat, they fed on Rats and Mice, and many unwholesome and filthy things. A woman was driven for want of meat to do a cruel part upon her own child: she took her own babe, which was the fruit of her ⟨p. 185⟩own body, killed it, cut it in pieces, dressed it, and fed upon it: a loathsome meat, especially, for a mother to eat her own child. But she was driven to it by extremity and hunger: it was so cruel a thing to lack wherewith life might be preserved.

Even so fared it with us, and our Fathers, after it pleased God to take away his Gospel, & to send a famine of hearing the word of the Lord. We were driven to eat those things which were loathsome and horrible to behold, we were driven to feed upon our own children, even the phantasies and vanities of our own heart. There was no substance in them, they could not feed us.
