A
SERMON
AGAINST
DRVNKENNES
IOEL
1.
5.
I
Awake
ye
drunkards
,
and
weep
and
houle
all
ye
drinkers
of
wine
;
for
the
new
wine
shall
be
taken
from
your
mouthes
.
IT
is
DAVID's
assertion
,
God
turnes
a
fruitfull
land
into
barrennesse
for
the
sinnes
of
those
that
dwell
therein
:
the
truth
of
this
we
see
verified
here
in
the
land
of
Iudah
,
a
fruitful
land
,
a
land
that
flowed
with
milke
and
hony
,
yet
became
barren
for
the
sinnes
of
those
that
inhabited
the
same
;
for
so
we
may
reade
in
the
verse
going
before
;
That
which
the
Palmerworme
had
left
,
the
Locust
had
eaten
,
and
that
which
the
Locust
had
left
,
the
Cankerworme
had
consumed
:
So
that
between
them
all
they
had
destroyed
the
fruits
of
the
earth
,
and
a
heavie
famine
was
fallen
upon
the
whole
land
of
Iudah
.
I
am
not
ignorant
that
some
of
the
Fathers
would
have
these
words
to
be
meant
tropically
,
and
not
literally
:
Saint
Ierome
by
those
creatures
understands
the
enemies
that
▪
God
did
send
to
overthrow
them
:
some
write
,
that
by
the
Palmerworme
is
meant
Theglaphalasar
;
by
the
Locust
,
Salmanazar
;
by
the
Cankerworme
,
Senacherib
;
and
by
the
Caterpillar
,
Nebuchadonazer
,
who
last
of
all
took
the
Nation
captive
;
but
I
rather
,
with
Theodoret
,
take
these
words
to
be
meant
literally
,
though
in
the
next
words
of
the
Text
,
we
read
of
a
Nation
comming
into
the
land
,
mighty
and
strong
.
It
is
usual
with
the
holy
Ghost
to
stile
them
by
that
name
of
people
,
or
Nation
.
Solomon
describes
the
Ants
to
be
a
people
not
strong
;
feeble
folke
,
the
Locusts
to
have
no
king
,
and
yet
to
goe
forth
by
bands
:
and
so
here
we
see
,
though
these
creatures
have
no
king
,
yet
God
marshalls
them
all
in
order
,
to
bring
a
famine
upon
Iudah
:
one
yeare
he
sent
an
army
of
Palmerwormes
;
another
,
of
Locusts
;
a
third
,
of
Cankerwormes
;
a
fourth
,
of
Caterpillars
;
and
these
for
foure
yeares
together
destroyed
the
vines
and
fruites
of
the
earth
,
and
for
so
long
brought
an
heavy
dearth
upon
the
whole
land
.
Now
the
Prophet
,
seeing
this
heavie
judgement
of
famine
to
have
fallen
upon
the
land
,
he
labours
to
awaken
all
by
true
repentance
;
as
that
is
the
fittest
time
to
moove
to
amendment
of
life
,
when
Gods
judgements
are
upon
the
earth
;
for
then
if
the
inhabitants
thereof
will
not
learne
righteousnesse
,
they
never
will
.
And
as
the
Prophet
awakens
all
to
repentance
,
so
he
giveth
the
first
on
set
upon
Drunkards
,
and
that
not
without
cause
;
for
as
they
had
the
chiefest
hand
in
pulling
downe
Gods
wrath
and
vengeance
upon
the
whole
land
,
so
there
was
good
reason
that
they
should
be
the
forwardest
in
reversing
that
judgement
that
was
out
against
them
,
by
speedy
and
unfained
repentance
.
So
that
these
words
are
an
Alarum
to
awaken
Drunkards
;
or
we
may
stile
them
,
an
Hand-writing
to
hang
upon
the
wall
of
every
Belshazzar
;
the
sight
whereof
may
strike
horrour
and
amazement
into
them
,
may
trouble
their
thoughts
and
change
their
countenances
;
for
here
is
MENE
,
MENE
,
TEKEL
,
VPHARSIN
,
thou
art
weighed
,
ô
Belshazzar
,
in
the
ballance
;
thou
art
found
too
light
;
thy
kingdome
,
to
wit
,
thy
wine
,
in
which
thou
dost
so
much
triumph
and
glory
,
is
taken
from
thee
,
and
is
divided
amongst
the
Locusts
and
the
Caterpillars
.
In
the
words
we
have
two
parts
;
-
1.
An
Exhortation
,
Awake
ye
drunkards
,
and
weep
and
houle
all
ye
drinkers
of
wine
.
-
2.
A
Reason
of
the
same
in
these
words
,
For
the
new
wine
shall
be
taken
from
your
mouthes
.
1.
In
the
Exhortation
two
things
;
-
1.
The
persons
exhorted
,
Drunkards
,
and
drinkers
of
wine
.
-
2.
The
duty
unto
which
they
are
exhorted
;
and
that
is
two-fold
;
-
1.
To
Awake
.
-
2.
To
Weep
or
houle
.
First
,
of
the
persons
that
are
awakened
;
and
they
are
Drunkards
,
and
drinkers
of
wine
.
I
will
notstand
curiously
to
define
Drunkennesse
,
nor
to
shew
the
divers
kindes
of
Drunkards
;
methinkes
the
Prophet
here
lets
us
understand
whom
he
meanes
to
be
drunkards
,
when
he
stiles
them
Drinkers
of
wine
:
we
must
first
of
all
then
enquire
who
these
wine-drinkers
are
.
Now
,
to
drinke
wine
is
not
unlawfull
;
for
every
creature
is
good
,
if
it
be
received
with
thankesgiving
;
and
wine
moderately
taken
,
saith
Solomon
,
makes
glad
the
heart
,
and
therefore
he
would
have
it
given
to
them
that
were
of
heavy
hearts
;
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
It
is
not
the
use
of
wine
,
but
the
abuse
that
is
forbidden
,
as
Chrysostome
observes
:
for
there
was
drunkennesse
before
the
vertue
of
the
grape
was
knowne
to
Noah
;
Now
this
immoderate
drinking
is
seen
in
three
things
;
First
,
when
the
affection
is
set
too
much
upon
the
wine
,
Not
to
look
upon
the
wine
when
it
giveth
his
colour
in
the
glasse
;
his
meaning
is
,
we
should
not
lust
vehemently
after
it
:
Bishop
to
be
given
to
much
wine
;
that
is
,
not
to
set
his
affection
inordinately
upon
the
same
.
Secondly
,
they
may
be
said
to
be
Drinkers
of
wine
that
sit
too
long
over
their
cups
,
that
in
the
Tavernes
or
Alehouses
drinke
up
too
much
of
their
time
,
Qui
pitissando
totum
consumunt
diem
,
that
in
whisling
and
sipping
spend
whole
daies
:
Though
their
braines
be
not
intoxicated
,
yet
are
they
said
to
be
Drinkers
;
Woe
be
to
those
that
rise
early
in
the
morning
that
they
may
follow
strong
drinke
,
that
continue
untill
night
,
till
the
wine
inflame
them
:
And
who
knoweth
not
that
we
have
as
much
liberty
to
wast
our
vitall
spirits
,
as
our
pretious
time
?
3.
Last
of
all
,
they
are
drinkers
of
wine
,
Qui
mensuram
excedunt
,
that
drinke
measure
after
measure
without
all
measure
:
Be
not
drunke
with
wine
(
saith
S.
Paul
)
wherein
is
excesse
;
And
thus
we
have
heard
briefly
whom
the
Prophet
meanes
to
be
Drunkards
,
or
Drinkers
of
wine
;
such
as
are
given
to
much
wine
,
that
waste
their
time
or
exhaust
their
estate
,
wash
away
their
braines
and
spirits
by
pouring
in
wine
and
strong
drinke
.
We
now
come
to
the
duty
unto
which
they
are
exhorted
;
and
that
is
two-fold
;
-
1.
To
Awake
.
-
2.
To
Weep
and
houle
.
1.
They
must
Awake
.
It
is
the
nature
of
drunkennesse
to
cast
men
into
a
sleep
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
as
Basil
saith
,
First
of
all
,
As
sleep
is
caused
by
multitude
of
vapours
which
ascend
up
into
the
braine
,
and
so
stop
the
passage
of
the
spirits
;
so
drunkennesse
is
caused
by
many
fumes
,
which
comming
into
the
braine
doe
stupifie
the
same
,
and
hinder
all
the
operations
of
the
immortall
soule
.
2.
But
especially
it
may
be
compared
to
sleep
in
this
regard
,
that
like
as
sleepe
doth
deprive
a
man
of
the
use
of
sense
and
reason
,
so
doth
this
vice
.
First
,
sleep
doth
deprive
a
man
of
the
use
of
sense
;
for
as
the
Philosopher
defineth
sleep
,
it
is
nothing
else
but
Ligatio
sensuum
,
a
binding
of
all
the
senses
to
their
good
behaviour
;
so
drunkennesse
robs
a
man
of
common
sense
,
and
makes
him
worse
then
the
bruit
beast
,
and
to
become
like
the
Idols
that
David
speakes
of
,
that
have
eies
and
see
not
,
that
have
eares
and
heare
not
,
hands
and
feel
not
,
feet
also
that
are
not
able
to
goe
.
Secondly
,
as
in
sleep
we
have
no
use
of
reason
,
no
more
have
they
that
are
overtaken
with
this
vice
:
when
men
are
asleepe
(
saith
the
Philosopher
)
they
differ
little
from
beasts
;
and
the
reason
is
,
because
the
use
of
reason
is
suspended
:
I
am
sure
,
those
that
by
evill
company
have
rockt
themselves
asleep
in
this
sinne
,
are
not
at
all
to
be
distinguished
from
the
sensitive
creatures
,
but
rather
to
be
reputed
in
the
number
of
them
;
nay
,
they
come
short
of
them
;
for
they
have
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
they
have
some
resemblance
of
reason
,
to
wit
,
the
excellencie
of
common
sense
,
which
hath
some
correspondency
with
humane
discourse
,
but
these
swine
have
not
so
much
as
a
glimpse
of
understanding
in
them
;
for
(
as
Saint
Basil
excellently
)
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Thus
we
have
heard
that
Drunkennesse
casts
men
into
a
sleep
,
which
takes
away
all
use
of
sense
and
reason
:
But
is
there
no
meanes
to
awaken
men
out
of
this
sleep
?
Yes
,
Gods
Minister
must
call
upon
them
.
The
Prophet
methinkes
here
lifts
up
his
voice
like
a
trumpet
,
and
labours
to
rouze
them
;
and
our
tongues
must
cleave
to
the
roofe
of
our
mouthes
before
we
leave
calling
upon
them
.
It
is
sure
that
this
sleep
is
so
pleasant
to
them
,
that
they
are
loath
to
be
hindred
of
it
;
they
cry
,
A
little
more
sleep
,
and
a
little
more
slumber
,
and
willingly
they
would
not
be
disturbed
;
as
we
reade
of
the
Sybarites
,
that
they
killed
all
their
cocks
,
least
by
their
crowing
they
should
be
awakened
.
But
the
Prophet
calls
upon
them
to
awaken
:
And
what
is
it
to
awaken
?
It
is
a
metaphor
taken
from
the
body
,
and
translated
to
the
soule
;
that
look
as
men
when
they
awake
out
of
bodily
sleep
,
they
are
not
the
same
men
that
they
were
before
,
having
the
use
of
all
the
powers
of
soule
and
body
;
so
these
men
must
change
their
mindes
and
become
sober
.
The
Scripture
doth
often
call
upon
them
to
awaken
;
S.
Paul
having
to
doe
with
drunken
Epicures
,
who
cried
,
Let
us
eate
and
drinke
,
for
to
morrow
we
shall
die
;
rather
awaken
unto
righteousnesse
.
And
good
reason
why
all
should
awake
and
repent
of
this
vice
,
if
we
consider
either
the
time
wherein
we
live
,
or
the
danger
that
this
vice
exposeth
us
unto
.
First
,
if
we
remember
the
time
wherein
we
live
,
and
that
is
in
the
noone-day
of
the
Gospell
,
wherein
it
is
a
shame
to
be
found
asleep
in
this
vice
:
The
night
is
past
(
saith
Saint
Paul
)
and
the
day
is
at
hand
,
let
us
not
walk
in
chambering
and
wantonnesse
,
in
surfetting
and
drunkennesse
:
and
so
he
exhorts
the
Thessalonians
to
sobriety
by
this
argument
,
They
that
are
drunke
are
drunke
in
the
night
,
and
they
that
sleep
sleep
in
the
night
;
but
we
are
not
of
the
night
but
of
the
day
;
let
us
therefore
be
sober
and
watch
,

It
is
not
for
kings
to
drink
wine
,
nor
for
princes
strong
drink
,
saith
Solomon
,
Prov.
31.
4.
I
am
sure
it
is
not
for
Christians
to
have
fellowship
with
the
unfruitfull
workes
of
darknesse
:
it
was
enough
for
the
heathen
,
who
lived
in
Egyptian
darknesse
,
to
fall
asleep
in
this
vice
;
for
us
,
upon
whom
the
Sunne
of
righteousnesse
shineth
most
brightly
,
so
much
as
to
slumber
in
this
sinne
,
is
extreame
shame
.
The
night
of
ignorance
God
regarded
not
,
but
now
in
the
day
of
the
Gospell
he
lookes
that
all
should
awake
;
therefore
(
as
Saint
Augustin
excellently
)
Quum
,
Secondly
,
the
danger
that
we
are
in
while
we
sleepe
in
this
vice
,
may
rouze
us
;
for
all
the
enemies
of
our
salvation
are
ready
to
seize
upon
us
,
especially
the
Divell
watcheth
to
catch
us
asleep
in
this
vice
;
so
Saint
Peter
tells
us
,
Be
sober
and
watch
,
for
your
adversary
the
Divell
goeth
about
like
a
roaring
lyon
,
seeking
whom
he
may
devoure
;
and
those
that
he
findes
asleep
in
this
vice
are
a
sure
prey
unto
him
:
so
the
Flesh
and
the
World
will
be
sure
to
get
the
victory
of
us
,
if
we
awake
not
out
of
this
vice
.
Aristotle
relates
of
the
Carthaginians
,
The
Philistins
be
upon
thee
,
Samson
,
presently
awoke
;
so
when
we
heare
that
all
our
enemies
are
ready
to
surprize
us
,
we
cannot
but
awake
.
Yet
for
all
the
light
of
the
Gospell
shineth
so
brightly
upon
our
faces
,
for
all
the
great
danger
that
we
are
in
,
some
will
not
be
perswaded
to
awake
;
but
they
sleep
securely
,
though
sudden
desolation
be
ready
to
come
upon
them
.
We
reade
of
Ionah
,
that
he
was
fast
asleep
in
the
ship
,
when
as
it
was
like
to
be
drowned
:
so
in
these
times
wherin
the
ship
of
the
Church
is
like
to
be
sunk
with
the
waves
of
persecution
,
yet
some
revell
and
carouse
as
much
as
ever
,
and
like
Smiths
dogs
they
lye
fast
asleep
in
this
vice
,
when
the
sparckels
of
Gods
judgements
are
ready
to
flie
about
their
eares
.
In
the
old
world
when
men
burnt
with
lust
,
God
sent
a
floud
to
quench
the
fire
of
their
concupiscence
;
now
he
sends
the
fire
of
his
indignation
to
consume
the
liquor
wherwith
many
have
drowned
themselves
;
and
yet
few
will
be
warned
to
escape
the
wrath
of
God
.
Our
Saviour
tells
us
,
that
as
it
was
in
the
daies
of
Noah
,
so
it
shall
be
in
the
latter
daies
;
now
in
Noahs
time
,
they
gave
themselves
to
eating
and
drinking
till
the
deluge
came
and
swept
them
away
;
Would
to
God
we
did
not
live
to
see
this
verified
!
doe
not
men
give
themselves
to
this
sin
of
Sodom
,
and
put
farre
from
them
the
evill
day
?
God
hath
awakened
the
Germans
by
the
sword
that
he
hath
sent
amongst
them
,
and
he
threatneth
to
doe
the
like
to
us
;
but
let
the
cleare
light
of
the
Gospel
moove
us
to
repentance
,
then
shall
not
God
be
forced
to
awake
us
by
his
judgements
.
And
the
best
had
need
to
be
carefull
to
keep
themselves
awake
,
or
els
this
sleep
will
seize
upon
them
:
Noah
a
Preacher
of
righteousnesse
,
a
while
slumbered
in
this
vice
;
Vriah
,
that
religious
and
valiant
Captaine
,
was
once
at
a
Kings
feast
overcome
by
this
;
and
holy
Iob
was
afraid
least
his
sons
in
their
feasts
&
merry
meetings
should
fall
into
this
dangerous
sleep
:
yea
if
the
very
best
were
not
sometime
obnoxious
to
it
,
our
Saviour
would
never
have
given
a
caution
to
his
disciples
to
avoid
this
;
Take
heed
(
saith
he
)
least
at
any
time
your
hearts
be
overtaken
with
surfetting
and
drunkennesse
.
Now
that
we
may
all
awake
out
of
this
sleep
,
we
must
first
of
all
labour
for
Gods
grace
,
that
may
dispell
those
lusts
which
cause
this
sleep
;
for
till
such
time
we
cannot
awake
;
as
we
awake
not
out
of
naturall
sleep
till
the
vapours
which
cause
the
same
be
dispersed
by
the
naturall
heat
:
no
more
can
we
repent
of
this
,
till
Gods
grace
dispell
those
inordinate
affections
which
cause
the
same
:
Therefore
Saint
Paul
exhorts
the
Ephesians
not
to
be
drunke
with
wine
wherein
is
excesse
,
but
to
be
filled
with
the
Spirit
;
as
if
the
Apostle
had
said
,
If
ye
will
abundantly
thirst
after
the
water
of
life
,
and
drinke
your
fill
of
the
wine
that
commeth
out
of
Christs
cellar
,
it
will
be
a
soveraigne
meanes
to
keep
you
from
excessive
drinking
of
the
fruite
of
the
grape
.
It
is
a
rule
in
Philosophy
,
that
intus
existens
prohibet
extraneum
,
that
which
is
within
will
be
a
means
to
keep
out
that
which
is
without
;
as
for
example
;
If
a
vessell
be
full
of
liquor
,
the
aire
cannot
get
in
;
so
if
our
hearts
be
replenished
with
Gods
grace
,
it
will
keep
out
thence
an
inordinate
desire
of
wine
.
Secondly
,
If
we
would
awake
out
of
this
vice
we
must
take
heed
of
all
those
things
that
may
rock
us
asleep
therein
;
especially
of
evill
company
:
for
that
is
a
Dalilah
to
lull
us
asleep
till
our
haire
be
cut
,
I
meane
our
wits
,
understanding
,
and
memory
and
all
be
taken
from
us
.
Be
not
amongst
the
wine
bibbers
,
saith
the
wiseman
;
it
is
dangerous
being
with
them
,
least
by
their
inchauntments
this
sleep
seize
upon
us
.
Thus
through
Gods
grace
and
our
care
in
refraining
evill
company
we
may
keep
our selves
awake
.
This
is
not
all
that
the
Prophet
requires
of
drinkers
of
wine
;
as
they
must
awake
,
so
also
weep
and
howle
;
not
onely
weep
,
but
howle
also
;
which
setteth
forth
unto
us
the
greatnes
of
the
humiliation
which
is
required
of
all
those
that
are
guilty
of
this
vice
;
their
mourning
must
be
like
the
lamentation
of
Hadadrimmon
in
the
valley
of
Megiddon
,
or
like
the
mourning
of
parents
for
their
onely
sonne
.
But
these
men
cannot
endure
to
heare
of
any
sorrow
at
all
,
much
lesse
of
so
great
lamentation
:
If
the
Prophet
had
called
them
to
mirth
and
jollity
,
they
would
willingly
have
hearkened
;
but
the
voice
of
sorrow
is
alwaies
unpleasing
to
their
cares
.
But
yet
we
see
the
holy
Ghost
writes
bitter
things
against
them
,
and
would
have
them
turne
their
laughter
into
mourning
,
and
their
joy
into
heavinesse
.
And
good
reason
why
these
men
should
weep
and
mourn
,
if
they
consider
either
the
nature
of
the
vice
whereof
they
are
guilty
,
or
the
labyrinth
of
woe
and
misery
that
they
plunge
themselves
into
.
1.
If
they
consider
the
uglines
of
the
vice
which
they
have
committed
;
which
is
so
beastly
,
so
abominable
,
that
if
a
man
had
a
fountaine
of
teares
he
might
shed
them
all
for
this
.
This
is
that
which
raseth
the
image
of
God
out
of
us
and
transformeth
us
into
the
image
of
bruite
beasts
;
this
is
the
fountaine
of
all
vice
,
the
fewell
of
lust
,
the
mother
of
whoredoms
,
rapes
,
murthers
,
and
all
manner
of
abominations
.
It
were
easy
,
long
to
declaime
against
this
,
and
to
shew
the
cursed
effects
thereof
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
Fathers
,
Schoolmen
,
yea
out
of
the
Heathen
themselves
,
who
by
the
light
of
Nature
could
learne
to
abhor
this
vice
.
I
might
also
set
before
your
eyes
sundry
examples
of
those
,
that
when
they
have
been
in
their
drunken
fits
,
have
commited
such
outrages
,
that
the
very
cogitation
thereof
may
extract
teares
from
our
eyes
:
onely
give
me
leave
to
relate
unto
you
one
example
,
But
yet
this
is
not
all
;
there
is
a
further
cause
of
mourning
for
drinkers
of
wine
,
if
they
consider
the
woe
and
misery
that
this
vice
will
bring
upon
them
.
To
whome
is
woe
?
to
whome
is
sorrow
?
saith
Solomon
.
Even
to
them
that
sit
long
at
the
wine
:
and
the
Prophet
Esay
denounceth
woe
against
them
;
Woe
(
saith
he
)
to
the
drunkards
of
Ephraim
:
this
world
,
and
in
the
world
to
come
.
In
this
world
,
povertie
,
shame
,
and
sicknes
shall
befall
them
.
1.
For
povertie
,
that
shall
come
upon
them
like
an
armed
man
;
saith
Solomon
,
shall
not
be
rich
.
2.
But
be
it
,
that
some
have
an
eye
to
the
main
chance
(
for
proverbs
hold
but
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
for
the
most
part
)
suppose
,
I
say
,
some
be
more
politick
then
others
,
yet
shame
(
which
alwaies
followeth
sinne
as
the
shadow
doth
the
body
)
will
overtake
them
in
the
ende
.
Righteous
Noah
falling
but
once
into
this
vice
,
and
(
as
many
think
)
through
ignorance
,
hath
brought
an
eternall
blot
upon
himselfe
,
who
in
one
distemper
discovered
that
nakednesse
which
many
hundred
yeares
had
been
kept
close
;
And
how
doe
many
often
expose
themselves
,
by
their
reeling
and
staggering
,
to
the
derision
of
boyes
and
children
,
and
are
to
them
as
owles
are
to
the
birds
!
3.
Sicknes
,
that
is
a
concomitant
of
this
vice
;
It
is
an
excellent
saying
of
Chrysostome
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
&c.
this
world
,
upon
their
bodies
,
goods
,
and
good
name
.
But
their
greatest
misery
is
in
the
world
to
come
;
It
were
happy
for
these
men
that
they
might
dye
like
beasts
,
as
they
live
;
but
they
must
know
that
they
must
come
to
judgement
,
and
receive
the
fruit
of
their
wickednesse
:
for
he
that
soweth
to
the
flesh
,
shall
of
the
flesh
reape
destruction
.
Know
ye
not
,
saith
Saint
Paul
,
that
the
unrighteous
shall
not
inherit
the
kingdome
of
God
?
Be
not
deceived
;
neither
fornicators
,
nor
Idolaters
,
nor
drunkards
shall
inherit
the
kingdome
of
God
;
no
,
but
rather
must
be
cast
out
into
that
lake
which
burneth
with
fire
and
brimstone
,
where
is
weeping
and
howling
and
gnashing
of
teeth
for
ever
.
How
much
better
is
it
then
to
weep
now
for
a
moment
,
then
to
incurre
eternall
lamentation
for
the
neglect
thereof
?
Let
them
then
that
are
mighty
to
poure
in
strong
drinke
,
poure
out
strong
lamentations
for
the
misery
that
shall
come
upon
them
,
if
they
doe
not
prevent
the
same
by
speedy
and
unfained
repentance
.
But
some
there
are
that
in
stead
of
mourning
for
this
vice
,
make
a
sport
of
it
,
and
count
it
but
a
trick
of
good
fellowship
,
and
so
like
the
Leviathan
they
can
laugh
at
the
glittering
sword
and
speare
,
when
it
is
ready
to
pierce
them
through
.
I
know
there
is
a
time
to
laugh
,
and
a
time
to
mourne
;
but
wee
can
finde
no
time
to
lament
this
sinne
,
which
hath
kindled
Gods
wrath
against
his
people
.
Many
sinnes
cry
aloud
against
us
for
vengeance
,
but
none
pierce
the
heavens
more
then
this
beastly
,
though
common
sinne
of
drunkennesse
;
and
yet
it
is
to
be
feared
,
that
not
many
mourners
are
to
be
found
for
this
vice
:
If
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
should
runne
to
and
fro
,
and
set
a
marke
upon
all
those
that
mourne
for
this
,
how
many
of
us
would
he
passe
by
,
who
will
not
let
fall
a
teare
to
quench
the
indignation
of
God
,
which
is
most
justly
kindled
against
us
for
this
and
other
abominations
!
May
not
the
Lord
complaine
of
us
as
he
did
of
his
people
the
Iewes
,
that
he
called
them
to
weeping
and
mourning
&
to
girding
with
sackcloth
;
and
behold
joy
and
gladnes
,
eating
flesh
and
drinking
wine
,
and
that
not
in
Timothies
cup
onely
,
but
in
Belshazzars
bowles
also
?
The
Prophet
Amos
saw
to
his
griefe
,
that
in
his
time
they
dranke
wine
in
bowles
,
and
forgate
the
afflictions
of
Ioseph
:
it
were
to
be
desired
that
we
could
not
see
the
same
in
these
times
,
wherein
the
Church
hangs
her
Harps
upon
the
willowes
,
while
she
sits
by
the
waters
of
Babylon
.
But
methinks
I
heare
some
confesse
that
indeed
they
are
sometimes
overtaken
with
this
vice
,
but
they
are
sorry
for
it
.
If
it
be
so
,
it
will
easily
appeare
by
their
amendment
of
life
:
For
sorrow
begetteth
hatred
,
and
hatred
begetteth
a
sequestration
from
it
;
so
that
I
may
say
to
such
,
as
Saint
Paul
doth
to
the
Corinthians
in
another
case
,
If
they
have
sorrowed
after
a
godly
manner
for
this
,
AND
these
men
had
need
to
awake
,
and
weep
,
&
howle
,
if
they
consider
what
followeth
in
the
Text
,
The
newe
wine
shall
be
taken
from
them
▪
If
any
thing
will
moove
them
,
it
will
be
this
,
that
otherwise
they
shall
be
bereft
of
that
,
wherein
they
place
their
chiefe
felicity
;
and
that
not
by
potent
adversaries
,
such
as
were
Salmanazar
,
and
Nebuchadonazar
;
but
by
locusts
,
cankerwormes
,
and
caterpillers
;
This
I
say
(
if
any
thing
)
must
needs
go
to
the
heart
of
them
,
to
have
their
new
wine
rent
from
their
mouthes
by
such
contemptible
creatures
.
The
Prophet
specifieth
but
one
kinde
of
wine
,
to
wit
,
that
which
commeth
out
of
the
presse
;
and
so
the
word
[
gnasim
]
in
the
originall
doth
signifie
mustum
,
that
which
is
new
prest
:
but
yet
he
meaneth
all
kindes
of
wine
should
be
snatched
away
by
violence
;
for
so
the
word
in
the
originall
intimates
unto
us
,
That
albeit
they
were
unwilling
to
let
goe
their
cups
,
yet
,
will
they
nill
they
,
they
should
be
plucked
from
their
mouthes
.
And
here
we
see
,
if
we
come
once
to
abuse
Gods
creatures
to
luxury
and
intemperancy
,
he
hath
many
waies
to
deprive
us
of
them
;
not
onely
by
sending
armies
of
men
,
but
by
sending
out
a
few
caterpillers
.
But
especially
we
may
take
notice
how
this
vice
of
drunkennes
pulleth
downe
Gods
judgements
upon
the
whole
land
:
For
oathes
the
land
mourneth
,
saith
the
Prophet
Ieremy
:
so
it
doth
for
drunkennes
;
for
we
may
reade
in
the
tenth
verse
of
this
Chapter
,
that
for
this
sinne
the
whole
land
of
Iudah
mourned
;
because
the
corne
was
wasted
,
the
new
wine
was
dryed
up
,
and
the
oyle
languished
.
Many
and
sundry
are
the
calamities
that
befall
a
Nation
for
this
vice
;
this
was
that
which
caused
the
Lord
to
give
up
his
owne
people
into
the
hands
of
their
enemies
:
So
the
Prophet
Esay
;
Woe
be
to
those
that
rise
early
in
the
morning
that
they
may
follow
strong
drinke
,
that
continue
untill
night
,
till
wine
inflame
them
,
and
the
harp
and
the
violl
,
the
tabret
and
pipe
and
wine
are
in
their
feasts
;
but
they
regard
not
the
worke
of
the
Lord
,
neither
consider
the
operation
of
his
hands
:
Therefore
are
my
people
gone
into
Captivitie
.
And
not
to
goe
any
further
then
the
Text
,
The
Lord
threatneth
to
destroy
the
vines
and
all
the
fruites
of
the
earth
for
this
sinne
;
may
not
we
then
feare
that
for
the
abuse
of
wine
,
we
shall
not
onely
have
our
wines
,
but
our
wives
,
children
,
and
goods
taken
from
us
?
The
Spanish
Caterpillers
and
the
Iesuiticall
locusts
have
devoured
the
vines
of
our
brethren
in
Germany
:
I
dare
not
say
it
was
for
drunkennes
;
but
this
might
be
one
meanes
to
kindle
Gods
wrath
against
them
;
And
shall
we
thinke
,
if
we
be
drinkers
of
wine
,
that
we
shall
alwaies
escape
?
No
,
the
Locusts
and
Caterpillers
crawle
as
fast
as
they
can
upon
us
;
let
us
then
awake
and
gird
up
the
loynes
of
our
mindes
and
be
sober
,
and
it
may
be
we
shall
see
the
salvation
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
in
his
due
time
,
he
will
send
a
winde
that
shall
scatter
these
locusts
and
drive
them
into
the
Sea
of
perdition
.
Howsoever
,
Ne
nos
invadant
somno
vinóque
sepultos
,
let
them
not
,
if
they
come
,
finds
us
fast
asleep
in
this
vice
;
If
they
doe
,
they
will
not
onely
take
our
wines
from
us
,
but
us
from
our
Country
,
and
make
us
slaves
to
them
,
and
,
which
is
worst
of
all
,
captivate
our
soules
to
their
Romish
superstition
.
If
therfore
there
be
any
feare
of
God
in
us
,
any
love
to
the
Gospell
,
any
humanity
in
us
,
any
sparkle
of
religion
;
let
us
awake
out
of
this
sinne
,
and
it
may
be
God
will
awake
,
and
stirre
up
himselfe
,
and
come
forth
for
our
salvation
:
which
we
humbly
beseech
him
to
doe
,
for
the
merits
of
our
LORD
and
blessed
SAVIOVR
;
to
whom
with
the
FATHER
and
the
holy
SPIRIT
be
all
honour
and
glory
now
and
for
ever
.
AMEN
.
