AN EXTEMPORE SERMON , Preached upon MALT , by way of Caution to Good Fellows ; at the Request of Two Schollars , by a Lover of ALE , out of a Hallow TREE .

Why should the DRUNKARD strive his Acts to Smother . Drink runs but from one Hog shead to another ,

Beloved . Let me Crave your reverent attention , for I am a little Man , come at a short warning , to Preach a short Sermon , upon a small Subject , to a thin Congregation ; in an unworthy Pulpit .

Beloved . My Text 't is Malt.

Now I cannot divide it into Sentences because 't is none , nor into Words , it being but one ; not into Syllables , because ( upon the whole matter ) ' ris but a Monosyllable : Therefore I must ( and necessity inforces me ) divide it into Letters ; which I find in my text four , M , A , L , T , M , ( my Beloved ) is Moral . A , is Allegorical ; L , is Literal , and T , is Theologwal .

The Moral is well set forth , to teach you Drunkards good manners , wherefor M , my Masters , A , all of you , L , listen , T , to my Text.

The Allegorical , is , when one thing is spoken of , and another thing is meant ; the thing spoken of , is Malt ; the thing meant is the Oyl of Malt ; Strong Beere ; which you Rusticks make M , Meat , A , Apparel , L , Liberty and T , Treasure .

The Literal , is according to the Letter , M , Much , A , Ale , L , Little , T , Thrift , much Ale , little Thrift .

The Theological , is according to the Effects that it works which I find in my Text , to be of two kinds ; First in this World , Secondly , in the World to come .

In this World the effects which it works , are in some M , Murder ; in others , A , Adultery ; in some , L , Looseness of Life ; in others , T , Treason

The effects which it worketh in the World to come are , M , Misery ; A , Anguish ; L , Lamentation ; and T , Torment .

Wherefore my first Use shall be , a Use of Exhortation , M , Masters A , All of you ; L , Leave ; T , Tipling ; or else by way of Commination ; M , my Masters ; A , All of you ; L , look for ; T , Torment . And so much shall suffice for this Tyme and Text. Only ( by way of Caution ) take this .

That a Drunkard is the annoyance of modesty , the trouble of Civility , the spoil of Wealth , the destruction of Reason , the Brewers Agent , the Ale houses Benefactor , the Beggars Companion , the Constables trouble , his Wifes woe , his Childrens sorrow , his Neighbours scoff , his own Shame , a Walking Swill-Tub , a Picture of a Beast , and a Monster of a man .

Say well , and do well , end Both with a Letter , Say well is good ; but do well is better .

Printed at London , and Reprinted at Edinburgh , 1691.
