right_n of_o the_o child_n of_o affliction_n verse_n 6._o give_v strong_a drink_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v ready_a to_o perish_v and_o wine_n to_o those_o that_o be_v grieve_v in_o mind_n verse_n 7._o let_v he_o drink_v that_o he_o may_v forget_v his_o poverty_n and_o may_v remember_v his_o grief_n no_o more_o the_o scope_n &_o drift_n of_o these_o verse_n be_v to_o instruct_v and_o inform_v king_n and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o authority_n and_o rich_a man_n concern_v the_o lawful_a and_o moderate_a use_n of_o wine_n in_o the_o law_n many_o kind_n of_o meat_n be_v forbid_v unto_o all_o man_n and_o consequent_o unto_o king_n but_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o any_o kind_n of_o drink_n that_o be_v thereby_o restrain_v but_o only_o from_o certain_a particular_a person_n number_n 6._o wherefore_o at_o the_o first_o appearance_n it_o seem_v somewhat_o strange_a and_o differ_v from_o the_o law_n which_o be_v here_o command_v and_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o the_o drink_n of_o wine_n be_v here_o forbid_a to_o prince_n to_o who_o of_o all_o other_o as_o in_o meat_n so_o also_o in_o drink_n delicacy_n be_v most_o just_o allow_v as_o well_o for_o that_o they_o be_v well_o furnish_v with_o mean_n to_o procure_v they_o as_o also_o for_o that_o dainty_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v most_o fit_a for_o they_o to_o maintain_v their_o royal_a port_n and_o dignity_n whither_o also_o may_v be_v

he_o which_o shall_v more_o thorough_o search_v into_o these_o word_n shall_v easy_o perceive_v that_o the_o use_n of_o wine_n be_v not_o here_o forbid_v but_o the_o immoderate_a and_o excessive_a drink_n of_o it_o which_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o apostle_n condemn_v in_o all_o man_n ephes_n 5.18_o so_o in_o king_n it_o be_v most_o offensive_a as_o those_o who_o both_o by_o their_o example_n
