John Trapp on Daniel 5:3

Ver. 3. Then they brought the golden veſſels] Made and appointed for a better uſe; as were likewiſe much of our Church-lands, veſſels and utenſils, concerning wich a learned man thus complaineth, Poſſidebant Papiſtae, poſſident jam Rapiſtae; Luther cryed out earneſtly againſt this abuſe in Germany, Knox in Scotland, Calvin at Genevah; I ſee, ſaid he to the Senat there in a Sermon, that we have taken the purſe from Judas and given it to the devil: neither can I endure ſuch ſacriledge, which I know God in the end will puniſh moſt ſeverely. Belſhazzar paid dear for his bowſing in the boules of the Sanctuary.

And the King and his Princes—drank in them] As if they had been ſwine-troughs. This was to out-ſin his father and grandfather, who yet were none of the beſt.
