5. After their solemn gratulatory sacrifices they were wont to have a feast. When David had brought the Ark of God into the Tabernacle, they offered burnt-offerings and 1peace-offerings, which being finished, He dealt to every one of Israel both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. Hereby is implied ⟨p. 171⟩that he made so bountiful a feast, as he had to give thereof to all the people there assembled. rIn this feast the master thereof was wont to take a great cup, and in lifting it up to declare the occasion of that feast, and then in testimony of thankfulness to drink thereof to the guests, that they in order might pledge him. This was called a cup of salvation, or deliverance, because they acknowledged by that use thereof that God had saved and delivered them. Almost in a like sense the Apostle stileth the Sacramental cup, sthe cup of blessing.
