THE LIFE OF MAN COMPARED TO A WEAVER'S SHUTTLE.
THE LIFE OF MAN COMPARED TO A WEAVER'S SHUTTLE
"My days are swifter than a Weaver's Shuttle? &c., Job 7:6.
I. A Weaver's Shuttle is an instrument of a very swift motion; and the word, XXXX, which is rendered swifter, signifies that which is fitted for the swiftest motion.
II. When the Weaver hath finished his webj he cuts off the thread: so when a man hath run out the length of his days appointed by the Almighty, his Life is cut off, &c.
