VERS. VIII.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉

The Governour of the Feast.

THIS Governour of the Feast I would understand to have been in the place of Chap∣lain to give thanks, and pronounce blessings in such kind of Feasts as these were. There was 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the Bridegrooms blessing recited every day for the whole space of the seven days, besides other benedictions during the whole Festival time, requisite upon a cup of wine [for over a cup of wine there us'd to be a blessing pronounc'd] especially that which was call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the cup of good news, when the virginity of the Bride is declar'd and certify'd. He therefore who gave the blessing for the whole company, I pre∣sume, might be call'd the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, the Governour of the Feast. Hence to him it is that our Saviour directs the wine that was made of water, as he who after some bles∣sing pronounced over the cup, should first drink of it to the whole company, and after him the guests pledging and partaking of it.

As to what is contain'd in the 14, 15, 16 verses of this Chapter, I have already discust that in Mat. XXI. 12.
