shot Three Arrows against us and how easily can he shoot a Fourth Tore Arrow that of the Famine unless we turn from our Sins by true Repentance It is to be feared that after all that hath or can be said to reclaim men from their evil Courses and excesses in Drinking that they will be swayed by Custome which is a second Nature and it will be found as difficult for them to be temperate in Smoking and Drinking and Feasting as it is for the Blackmore to change his Skin or the Leopard his Spots So that they will rather say as he that being advised by his Physician to leave of his evil Courses or else he would loose his Sigh answered Tum valeat lumen amicum Then sarewel sweet Light To such it may be said as Solomon saith Rejoyce O young man in thy Youth walk in the sight of thine Eyes and let thy Heart chear thee but remember that for all these things God will bring thee to Judgment We all know That Sin is the fore-runner of all Plagues and Calamities that ever came upon any People or Nation under Heaven it is the Plague of Plagues What provoked God to drown the old World but Sin What caused God to rain down Fire and Brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah but their Sins of Pride Idleness and fulness of Bread And whilst Abraham interceded for Sodom had there been but Ten righteous persons found amongst them God would have spared them for their sakes Thus I have spoken against Sin in general as that which draws down Judgments upon our Heads I will only lay a few Scriptures before you touching the Lord's anger against Sin which he cannot indure to behold without great indignation For it is only Sin that makes a separation between God and our Souls and I desire the Reader to turn to them at his leisure and to make the best use and application of them Hosea 4. 1 2 3.

It is but brief and the best I know of in print against the Sin of Drunkenness and Health-drinking wherein are discovered divers sad Examples of many that have been notorious Drinkers or Drunkards called Woe to Drunkards that have kill'd themselves by drinking immoderately In the last place I shall but commend to the Reader a few good useful Books viz. Mr. Thomas Brook's Londons Lamentations also his Book called Precious Remedies against Satan's Devices and his Twenty two Sermons on Ephes 3. 8. Of the unsearchable Riches of Christ His Cabinet of Jewels His Closet Prayer and a profitable and very delightsome Book of good Counsel for all young Persons called His Apples of Gold for young Men and Women c. Mr. Thomas Watson's new Treatise Entituled The mischief of Sin it brings a person low on Psal 106. 43. Mr. Ralph Venning's Book called Sin the Plague of Plagues or sinful Sin the worst of Evils on Rom. 7. 13. These Books do set forth Sin in its own proper colours it is compared in Scripture to filthy Rags and to a menstruous Cloth and I think it cannot be called by so bad a name as it is Also lately Published Mr. Robert Perrot's new Book called Englands Sole and Soveraign way of being saved Mr. Calamie's Godly mans Ark which I think is a useful and seasonable Book these stormy Times Now we are pursued by Enemies on all sides outward and inward it 's good to get into an Ark or City of Refuge These are sold at the Three Bibles in Popes head Alley where the best and newest short-hand Books and Books of Divinity are to be had Also History Husbandry Astronomy Mathematicks Arithmetick Law Sea Physick the best Poetry School Books c. Five Books of the learned Doctor Maynwarings 1. His Preservation of Health and Prolongation of Life 2. His Treatise Of the Scurvy shewing That Tobacco is a procuring Cause 3. The rise and progress of Physick Historically Chronologically and Philosophically illustrated shewing The abuse of Medicines c. 4. His Treatise Of Consumptions demonstrating their Nature and Cure 5. The ancient and modern Practice of Physick examined stated and compared The true Elixir Proprieta●i● of Van Helmont Paracelsus Crollius with a Book of its use and vertue highly cominended by Mr. Lilly As for other Books of vain idle Romances Lascivious and Vitious Poetry and Drollery which are worse then the Smoke of Tobacco and more fit for the Fire to make Smoke of then for the Study I wish the Lovers of them to take notice of this one Passage about such in Mr. Philip Goodwin's Mystery of Drunkenness printed for Francis Tyton it is in Page 50.

James by the grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland etc To all Taverns Inns Victualling-Houses Ale-houses Coffee-houses Strong-water-shops Tobacconists-shops in England Scotland or Ireland Gentle Readers HEre is presented to you a Brief Learned and a very seasonable Treatise for the Age we live in It was many years since Penned by King James of happy and blessed Memory Entituled A Counterblast to Tobacco It it here verbatim faithfully transcribed out of the large and learned Volume of His other Works in Folio which are rare and scarce to be had for money and of too great a price for the common sort of Tobacco-smokers to purchase It is granted the thing may be good and Physical and healthful being moderately and but seldom taken but for men to take ten or twenty Pipes in a day in all Companies Morning Noon and Night before and presently after Meals this is a strange way of taking Physick Now the King understanding the evil Custom of taking Tobacco or as we now call it smoking a Pipe was grown to a great head he seems to be very much insensed at it and discovers how it first came into England and its first Original and how that it was used much amongst the savage Indians to cure Lewes Venerea a Disease among them His Majesty wisely fore-seeing the evil consequences that would follow by such immoderate sucking in the foul smoke of this Indian Weed and He being the Physician of the Body Politick doth by many strong and excellent Arguments disswade his Subjects from imitating the practise of the Heathen Indians in drinking this noxious fume It was in his Time but a Novelty and practised but a little except amongst the Nobility Gentry or great Ones But now what is more frequently used in every Ale-house and Coffee-house besides great Inns and Taverns in London and all the Three Kingdoms over Whereas if men were so wise for their own good both in Body Soul and Estate as to handle a good Book either of Divinity or of Morality half so often as they do the Pipe of smoke it would be better for them in all respects more precious time and money would be saved I shall detain you no longer from a more learned Epistle and Treatise of the matter in hand And as King Solomon who was the wisest of Kings saith in his Book of Ecclesiastes That where the word of a King is there is power so I say If what our famous King James hath written be not of Power sufficient to divert all English men c. from this evil and hurtful Custom It is here seconded and backed home by the words and advice of an able and learned Doctor of Physick now living it being so sutable to the purpose was thought fit to be added to this Counterblast And that it may not be said as the common Proverb is To be only one Doctors opinion I have thought sit to add another Collected out of a Treatise Of the Bloud written by that learned Physician Dr. George Thompson who agreeth with the former against smoking Tobacco as dangerous I apprehend that what hath been spoken against drinking Tobacco may much more be said against immoderate drinking of Wine Ale Beer or any strong Liquors and Dishes of Coffee c.
