[36] Mr. William Holborn, our Church Secretary, informs me that the cup with handles is the original communion cup. It is made of lustred pewter. When the number of communicants increased, one of the deacons remembered that he had a cup at home which was suitable for the purpose. He accordingly produced the second cup, which bears underneath it the words “a friend of the cause.” The metal of which this cup is made is matter of conjecture.[147] By a Member of the Congregation.
