7. Again, had you been at Nineveh, when it was proclaimed throughout the city, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste any thing: let them not feed or drink water, but let them cry mightily unto God: would your continual fast have been any reason for not bearing part in that general humiliation? Doubtless it would not. You would have been as much concerned as any other, not to taste food on that day.
