Of the Practice of Piety in Holy Feasting.
HOLY Feasting is a solemn Thanksgiving, (appointed by Authority) ⟨p. 304⟩to be rendered unto God on some special day, for some extraordinary blessings or deliverances received.1 Such among the Jews was the Feast of the Passover, to remember to praise God for their deliverance out of Egypt's bondage: or the Feast of Purim, to give thanks for their deliverance from Haman's conspiracy. 2Such amongst us are the fifth of August, to praise God for delivering our Gracious King from the bloody conspiracy of the traitorous Gowries. And the fifth of November, to praise God for the deliverance of the King and the whole State, from the Popish Gun-powder Treason. Such Feasts are to be celebrated by a public rehearsal of those special benefits, by spiritual Psalms and Dances, by mutual feasting, and sending presents every man to his Neighbour, and by giving gifts to the poor.
