Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Meat-Barrel
Scripture Reference:
Description: The reader should take a lesson from the household that diligently takes meat to the cellar to preserve it in a large pickling barrel. People should give such attention to the avoidance of sins of the flesh so that they are salted by God and control their earthly concerns. Such belong to Christ and have crucified the sinful nature with its passions (Galatians 5:24). The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649–1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and wrote the accompanying poem.
