The Philistines give thanks unto Dagon their God for the victory. So were they delivered up into a reprobate sense, to give thanks for those things, for which they ought most of all to have been sorry. For how obtained they Samson? By the arts of an harlot, and by most filthy deceit. After sacrifices followeth a very sumptuous banquet. For in those holy services of Idols, was set forth a certain communion, that the people in that feast, should rejoice together with a certain common joy.
The Philistines geue thankes vnto Dagon their God for the victorye. So were they delyuered vp into a reprobate sense, to geue thankes for those thinges, for whych they ought most of all to haue bene sory. For how obtayned they Samson? By the artes of an harlot, and by most fylthye deceate. After sacrifices followeth a verye sumptuous banquet. For in those holye seruices of Idoles, was set foorth a certaine communion, that the people in that feast, shoulde reioyce together wyth a certaine common ioy.
So also in the old Testament the Israelites in their peace offerings feasted and rejoiced together before the Lord. Neither is it unlikely, but that the Fathers also before the law, had such holy services and solemnities.1 Christ also our Saviour instituted a Communion and holy Supper, that we should there celebrate his name and healthful death. But in the Sacrifices of Idols, all things were ordained for riot and pleasure, and they seldom departed from thence without filthy lusts or murder, as at this day do the Papists in consecrations of their Churches, after Mass they celebrate a feast, afterward they fall to dancing and wanton leapinges: whereby oftentimes they fall together by the ears.
So also in the olde Testament the Israelites in theyr peace offeringes feasted and reioyced together before the Lord. Neyther is it vnlykely, but that the Fathers also before the law, had suche holy seruices and solemnities.1
