If you ask what this Sackcloth means: It represents the sad, and afflicted, and mournful condition that the Saints and people of God shall be in, in Antichristian times. When the Jews of old mourned, and were afflicted, they put on Sackcloth: The Princes put on Sackcloth, and the Priests put on Sackcloth, and the people put on Sackcloth: So here, the Witnesses clothed in Sackcloth;—What doth this mean, but their sad, and afflicted, and mournful condition? Such it is, and must be in Antichristian times.
