Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Forlorn Hope: An Appeal to the Church, on the Impropriety of Using Fermented Things in the Sacrament
The prophet Haggai, in reproving the Jews for not rebuilding the house of God, reminds them of the scarcity of provisions amongst the people, and in doing so, assures them that it was God that withheld a plentiful supply of his bounties; and in stating the punishment they were enduring, he says: Ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink. Now, it would be a strange thing indeed if the fulness of drink in this passage meant drunk, in the sense we use the passage now.a-days.
