2. A cup is put for affliction. dFor of old they were wont to put poison into cups, and make such as were adjudged to death, to drink thereof. After this manner were Socrates, ePsammonitus, Ph•cion▪, Theramenes, I and others put to death. Bitter things also are put into cups for medicines: and because afflictions are bitter, and as it were given to us by our wise and heavenly Father to drink, they are set out by a cup. fSome therefore according to that signification thus expound this Text, I will willingly drink the cup of affliction ⟨p. 170⟩which the Lord shall be pleased to give me, yea though it be death, which will assuredly turn to my salvation.
