Hee

is
deemed

and
it
is
an
occasion

a
iust
accusation
,
to
refuse
to

the
Kings
Health
often
:
Deare
brethren
albeit
I
beleeue
that
you
feare
drunkennesse
as
much
as
Hell
it selfe
,
yet
I
exhort
you
neither
to
drinke
more
your selues
,
neither
to
compell
others
to
drinke
more
then
they
ought
.
For
many
oft
times
doe
drinke
by
measure
,
without
measure
:
they
prouide
great
cups
,
and
drinke
by
a
certaine
Law
and
Rule
:
hee
that
ouercomes
deserues
the
praise
by
this
sinne
of
his
.
Now
those
who
are
such
,
endeauour
to
excuse
themselues
,
saying
,
Wee
should
vse
our
Friendes
discourteously
,
if
we
should
not
giue
them
as
much
as
they
will
drinke
,
when
as
wee
inuite
them
to
our
Feastes
.
But
how
are
they
your
friendes
,
who
would
make
God
your
Enemie
,
who
is
a
friend
to
both
?
Wherefore
it
is
better
to
part
with
such
friendes
,
then
to
part
with
God
:
and
if
they
will
needs
drinke
,
let
them
drinke
,
and
perish
alone
:
better
it
is
that
one
should
perish
,
then
many
.
But
O
the
vnhappinesse
of
man
kinde
:
how
many
are
there
,
who
will
force
Drunkards
to
drinke
more
then
they
ought
,
when
as
they
will

a

of
drinke
,

a
poore
needy

compell
,
and
allure
others
to
drinke
more
then
they
ought
.
But
now
I
intreate
this
one
thing
of
you
,
aboue
all
the
rest
,
and
I
adiure
you
by
the
dreadfull
day
of
Iudgement
,
that
as
oft
as
you
Feast
one
another
,
you
would
vtterly
banish
from
your
Feastes
,
that
filthy
and
vnhappy
custome
of
drinking
Healthes
,
three
by
three
in
a
large
measure
,
without
measure
,
either
willingly
,
or
against
your
wills
:
as
being
the
poyson
of
the
Diuell
,
and
an
vnhappy
relique
,
and
custome
of
the
Pagans
.
And
whosoeuer
shall
consent
,
that
this
forme
of
Healthing
shall
bee
vsed
,
either
in
his
owne
,
or
other
mens
Feastes
:
let
him
not
doubt
,
but
that
hee
hath
Sacrificed
to
the
very
Deuill
,
himselfe
:
by
which
forme
of
drinking
,
his
Soule
is
not
onely
slaine
,
but
his
body
likewise
is
infeebled
.
But
now
what
a
thing
is
this
,
that
these
vnhappy
Drunkards
when
as
they
drinke
till
they
glut
themselues
with
ouer
much
Wine
,
should
deride
and
scoffe
at
those
,
who
will
drinke
no
more
then
will
suffice
them
?
saying
vnto
them
,
be
ashamed
,
and
blush
:
why
cannot
you
drinke
so
much
as
we
?
is
the
ordinary
speach
,
and
phrase
of
Drunkards
now
)
:
They
tell
them
that
they
are
no
men
,
because
they
will
not
drinke
:
They
stile
themselues
the
men
,
when
as
they
lye
prostrate
in
the
Iakes
of
drunkennesse
:
and
they
say
that
others
who
can
stand
vp
Honestly
,
and
Soberly
,
are
no
men
:
They
lye
prostrate
,
and
yet
are
men
:
others
stand
vpright
,
and
yet
they
are
no
men
:
The
Conquerour
of
Drunkennesse
is
dispraised
,
and
he
that
is
Conquered
of
Drunkennesse
is
applauded
:
The
Sober
man
,
who
can
gouerne
himselfe
and
others
,
is
derided
:
and
the
Drunkard
,
who
can
neither
know
himselfe
,
nor
others
:
is
not
derided
,
yea
not
bewailed
.
But
now
Drunkards
doe
alledge
this
excuse
for
themselues
.
That
a
great
Man
did
compell
them
to
drinke
more
then
they
would
,
and
in
the
Feast
of
the
King
I
could
not
doe
otherwise
.
This
is
nothing
else
but
a
meere
pretence
to
excuse
our
sinnes
:
and
that
which
we
will
not
,
we
say
we
cannot
fulfill
:
our
will
is
the
fault
,
though
our
inabililie
be
pretended
:
But
admit
that
thou
were
so
put
vnto
it
,
that
there
it
should
bee
said
vnto
thee
;
either
drinke
or
dye
:
It
is
better
that
they
Sober
flesh
should
bee
slaine
,
then
that
thy
Soule
should
dye
for
Drunkennesse
.
Howeuer
the
obiection
is
false
:
for
Godly
,
Sober
,
and
Religious
Kings
and
Potentates
,
though
they
may
chance
to
bee
angry
with
thee
for
an
houre
,
or
two
,
because
thou
refr●sest
to
drinke
out
of
a
loue
to
God
:
yet
they
will
afterwards
admire
thee
,
and
respect
thee
so
much
the
more
for
this
thy
refusing
,
by
how
much
the
more
earnestly
they
did
desire
,
perswade
,
and
presse
thee
for
to
pledge
them
.
And
now
,
what
a
things
is
this
,
that
after
the
Feast
concluded
,
when
as
men
haue
quenched
their
thirst
:
when
as
they
cannot
,
neither
ought
they
to
drinke
more
,
that
then
they
should
begin
to
drinke
afresh
(
as
if
they
were
but
newly
come
)
vnder
diuers
names
,
not
onely
of
liuing
Men
,
but
likewise
of
Angels
,
and
other
ancient
Saint
:
thinking
that
they
doe
them
the
greatest
honour
,
if
they
doe
euen
bury
themselues
with
too
much
Drunkennesse
,
in
the
commemoration
of
their
names
,
and
healthes
:
not
knowing
,
that
none
are
so
iniurious
to
holy
Angels
,
or
holy
Men
,
as
those
who
slay
their
Soules
through
too
much
Drunkennesse
,
in
drinking
off
their
Healthes
.
Remember
therefore
,
that
hee
who
drinkes
too
much
to
his
friend
,
is
made
an
Enemie
to
his
Soule
:
that
hee
doeth
debilitate
his
body
,
and
murther
his
Soule
.

in
Nekershofewe
,
a
Towne
in
Almaine
,
on
the
fourth
day
of
Iuly
in
the
yeere
1580.
Who
comming
then
,
and
there
into
an
Iune
,
called
for
Bread
and
Wine
:
which
being
brought
,
they
disliked
the
Wine
for
its
newnesse
,
calling
for
some
older
,
and
better
Wine
:
which
being
brought
in
great
abundance
,
they
fell
to
Swill
,
and
Caerrouse
one
to
another
,
till
they
were
both
as
Drunke
as
Swine
.
Then
one
of
them
powring
foorth
Wine
,
dranke
a
Carouse
to
his
fellow
:
who
pledging
him
,
demanded
of
him
,
to
whom
hee
should
drinke
?
quoth
hee
,
drinke
thou
vnto
God
:
he
hearing
this
,
drinkes
a
Carrouse
,
or
Health
to
God
:
and
then
demanas
of
his
companion
,
of
which
Wine
God
should
pledge
him
,
whether
of
the
old
,
or
new
?
of
whether
thou
wilt
,
saith
hee
.
Vpon
which
hee
takes
the
new
wine
into
his
hand
,
and
filling
the
Cup
therewith
,
reacheth
foorth
his
arme
,
as
high
as
hee
could
,
as
though
God
should
haue
pledged
him
in
good
earnest
,
saying
:
God
,
I
would
faine
know
what
Wine
thou
likest
best
:
this
Wine
is
good
enough
,
and
to
good
for
thee
:
if
thou
hadest
sent
better
,
thou
shouldest
haue
had
better
:
but
such
as
it
is
,
take
it
pledge
me
quickely
,
and
Carouse
it
off
euery
sope
,
as
I
haue
done
to
thee
,
or
else
thou
doest
mee
wrong
:
No
sooner
had
hee
vttered
these
blasphemous
speaches
,
but
the
Lord
foorthwith
proceedes
in
iudgement
against
him
:
causing
his
arme
which
hee
had
stretched
out
,
to
stand
stedfast
,
and
vnmooueable
,
so
that
be
could
not
pull
it
in
:
and
benumming
his
whole
body
,
so
that
hee
could
not
mooue
it
from
the
place
.
In
this
agonie
hee
remained
a
long
time
after
,
his
countenance
not
changed
,
rolling
his
eyes
too
and
froe
in
a
fearefull
manner
:
his
breath
,
and
speach
b●eing
taken
from
him
,
so
that
hee
could
not
breathe
,
nor
speake
a
word
:
and
yet
hee
seemed
to
euery
one
to
bee
aliue

the
people
who
flocked
thicke
,
and
threefold
for
to
see
this
wretched
spectacle
of

wrath

,
assayed
to
remooue
him
from
the
place
,
but
they
could
not
stirre
him
by
any
strength
:
In
the
end
they
tyed
Horse
to
him
,
to
draw
him
thence
,
but
they
could
not
mooue
him
.
Then
they
assayed
to
burne
the
house
wherein
hee
was
,
but
no
fire
would
once
take
hold
of
it
.
Wherefore
,
perswading
themselues
,
that
God
had
made
him
a
spectacle
to
all
Drunkards
,
they
s●rceased
their
enterprises
,
wishing
the
will
of
the
Lord
to
be
done
.
And
in

standeth
