intent_n must_v needs_o be_v evil_a and_o so_o the_o excuse_n be_v false_a and_o idle_a second_o i_o answer_v that_o what_o ever_o they_o pretend_v to_o colour_v this_o their_o health_v yet_o their_o intent_n be_v evil_a for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o necessary_a no_o lawful_a nor_o commendable_a occasion_n end_n or_o motive_n to_o provoke_v or_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o begin_v a_o health_n so_o their_o intent_n and_o end_n in_o beginning_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v evil_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o every_o one_o according_o who_o begin_v a_o health_n do_v intend_v to_o engage_v all_o other_o that_o be_v present_a to_o drink_v and_o pledge_v it_o in_o the_o very_a selfsame_o liquor_n quantity_n and_o ceremony_n and_o to_o the_o selfsame_o person_n as_o he_o himself_o begin_v it_o be_v they_o thirsty_a or_o not_o thirsty_a willing_a or_o unwilling_a able_a or_o unable_a for_o to_o plodge_v it_o this_o be_v every_o man_n end_n that_o begin_v a_o health_n and_o therefore_o he_o expect_v and_o look_v precise_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v pledge_v it_o now_o this_o intent_n to_o draw_v on_o other_o to_o drink_v in_o method_n order_n course_n and_o ceremony_n in_o art_n and_o measure_n be_v they_o willing_a or_o unwilling_a able_a or_o unable_a thirsty_a or_o not_o thirsty_a must_v needs_o be_v evil_a because_o it_o be_v a_o allurement_n and_o provocation_n to_o excess_n therefore_o the_o intent_n of_o those_o who_o begin_v these_o health_n must_v needs_o be_v evil_a last_o i_o answer_v that_o most_o man_n who_o be_v give_v to_o begin_v these_o health_n do_v purposely_o begin_v they_o to_o draw_v on_o other_o to_o drunkenness_n and_o excess_n and_o to_o ingurgitate_v and_o quaff_v down_o more_o than_o else_o they_o will_v or_o shall_v do_v they_o use_v these_o health_n but_o as_o so_o many_o according_o bait_n occasion_n and_o pretence_n to_o allure_v and_o provoke_v their_o guest_n their_o friend_n and_o consort_n to_o the_o very_a act_n and_o sin_n of_o drunkenness_n and_o to_o no_o other_o purpose_n this_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o conscience_n can_v testify_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n therefore_o their_o intent_n must_v needs_o be_v sinful_a what_o ever_o they_o pretend_v and_o so_o this_o evasion_n will_v not_o help_v they_o especial_o when_o as_o they_o be_v to_o plead_v with_o god_n himself_o who_o know_v their_o heart_n and_o thought_n far_o better_o than_o themselves_o to_o the_o second_o excuse_n that_o the_o health_n which_o they_o begin_v be_v very_o small_a i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o smallness_n of_o the_o cup_n or_o glass_n be_v common_o make_v up_o with_o the_o strength_n and_o vigour_n of_o the_o wine_n or_o liquor_n so_o that_o these_o small_a health_n will_v soon_o intoxicate_a and_o inebriate_a man_n than_o great_a health_n in_o cheap_a or_o small_a liquor_n the_o less_o the_o health_n be_v the_o more_o strong_a the_o wine_n and_o therefore_o the_o worse_a second_o where_o the_o health_n be_v small_a and_o little_a in_o quantity_n and_o measure_n they_o be_v common_o the_o 2._o more_o in_o number_n the_o less_o the_o health_n the_o more_o dense_a and_o frequent_a be_v they_o so_o that_o the_o littleness_n of_o the_o health_n be_v make_v up_o and_o recompense_v with_o the_o multitude_n and_o number_n of_o they_o one_o small_z and_o little_a health_n beginning_n and_o always_o draw_v on_o another_o so_o that_o if_o all_o these_o little_a health_n be_v put_v together_o they_o will_v seem_v exceed_o great_a three_o though_o the_o health_n that_o be_v begin_v at_o first_o be_v small_a yet_o they_o 1._o always_o draw_v on_o great_a one_o at_o the_o last_o little_a health_n as_o well_o as_o great_a wedge_n make_v way_n for_o great_a one_o this_o the_o according_o father_n and_o experience_n testify_v therefore_o the_o littleness_n of_o they_o be_v no_o excuse_n four_o the_o drink_v and_o begin_n of_o small_a health_n do_v either_o draw_v on_o other_o to_o begin_v 12._o great_a or_o else_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o use_n of_o great_a he_o that_o behold_v a_o good_a or_o great_a man_n drink_v a_o small_a or_o little_a health_n will_v present_o conclude_v that_o he_o may_v drink_v a_o great_a one_o so_o that_o the_o example_n and_o precedent_n of_o drink_v small_a health_n be_v as_o pernicious_a and_o hurtful_a as_o the_o beginning_n or_o drink_v of_o great_a health_n fif●ly_o the_o health_n that_o most_o man_n do_v begin_v as_o experience_n can_v testify_v be_v oft_o time_n very_o great_a if_o their_o first_o health_n be_v not_o so_o yet_o their_o last_o health_n be_v which_o make_v amends_o and_o recompense_v for_o all_o the_o rest_n six_o admit_v that_o the_o health_n which_o you_o begin_v be_v small_a and_o few_o yet_o since_o you_o have_v no_o occasion_n no_o necessary_a or_o lawful_a cause_n at_o all_o to_o move_v you_o to_o they_o since_o they_o be_v scandalous_a offensive_a and_o misbeseem_v christian_n and_o confirm_v other_o in_o their_o excessive_a health_n be_v it_o not_o far_o better_a and_o less_o offensive_a to_o begin_v no_o health_n at_o all_o then_o to_o begin_v or_o pledge_v these_o small_a one_o there_o be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o hurt_n nor_o inconvenience_n at_o all_o in_o abstain_v from_o the_o small_a health_n there_o may_v be_v nay_o there_o be_v much_o hurt_n in_o use_v they_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o and_o such_o as_o do_v begin_v they_o better_a therefore_o be_v it_o to_o abandon_v all_o these_o health_n then_o to_o admit_v approve_v or_o use_v the_o small_a of_o they_o last_o if_o health_n be_v sinful_a and_o unlawful_a it_o matter_n not_o whether_o the_o health_n we_o do_v begin_v be_v great_a or_o small_a both_o of_o they_o be_v sinful_a odious_a and_o damnable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o will_v plunge_v the_o soul_n of_o those_o who_o use_v they_o deep_a in_o hell_n with_o out_o redemption_n unless_o they_o shun_v they_o and_o repent_v they_o of_o they_o wherefore_o the_o exiguity_n or_o smallness_n of_o these_o health_n be_v no_o excuse_n it_o be_v no_o apology_n no_o plea_n at_o all_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n or_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o god_n tribunal_n to_o which_o all_o healther_n shall_v be_v summon_v ere_o be_v long_o the_o least_o health_n if_o they_o be_v sinful_a damn_v man_n soul_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a therefore_o we_o must_v avoid_v they_o both_o alike_o to_o the_o three_o excuse_n that_o they_o force_v none_o for_o to_o pledge_v they_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o a_o health_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o enforcement_n and_o engagement_n unto_o other_o for_o to_o pledge_v it_o and_o most_o man_n take_v it_o to_o be_v so_o because_o long_a custom_n and_o the_o pravity_n and_o wickedness_n of_o man_n have_v make_v it_o a_o kind_n of_o affront_n indignity_n discourtesy_n and_o wrong_v both_o to_o he_o that_o begin_v the_o health_n to_o those_o that_o second_v it_o and_o to_o the_o person_n that_o be_v remember_v in_o it_o to_o refuse_v or_o pass_v it_o by_o and_o not_o to_o pledge_v it_o as_o saint_n ambrose_n heirome_n augustine_n baro_n john_n frederick_n and_o guagninus_n testify_v in_o their_o forequote_v testimony_n and_o as_o our_o own_o experience_n can_v but_o witness_v second_o though_o some_o be_v so_o wise_a discreet_a and_o civil_a as_o not_o to_o force_v man_n for_o to_o drink_v or_o to_o pledge_v they_o against_o their_o will_n yet_o 3._o many_o nay_o most_o that_o use_v these_o health_n will_v do_v

that_o the_o drink_n of_o a_o health_n be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o ordinary_a remembrance_n of_o or_o the_o drink_v to_o a_o absent_a friend_n now_o it_o be_v usual_a and_o lawful_a to_o drink_v to_o a_o absent_a friend_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o self_n same_o reason_n to_o drink_v a_o health_n 3._o answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o mayor_n be_v false_a for_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a and_o large_a difference_n between_o the_o drink_n of_o a_o health_n and_o the_o ordinary_a manner_n of_o our_o drink_v to_o some_o absent_a friend_n first_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o that_o man_n in_o their_o ordinary_a drink_v remember_v none_o for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o their_o friend_n and_o equal_n to_o who_o they_o have_v some_o engagement_n and_o that_o only_o to_o put_v themselves_o in_o mind_n of_o they_o and_o to_o express_v their_o love_n unto_o they_o but_o in_o drink_v health_n man_n common_o remember_v their_o superior_n or_o at_o least_o their_o friend_n and_o equal_n with_o a_o intent_n to_o grace_v they_o or_o to_o do_v some_o good_a unto_o they_o as_o if_o the_o drink_v of_o their_o health_n 104._o do_v they_o some_o real_a good_a as_o if_o it_o do_v procure_v or_o preserve_v his_o health_n the_o former_a of_o which_o be_v commendable_a but_o the_o latter_a not_o second_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o that_o when_o as_o man_n remember_v their_o absent_a friend_n in_o drink_v to_o they_o they_o do_v it_o only_o out_o of_o courtesy_n but_o they_o drink_v and_o pledge_v man_n health_n in_o nature_n of_o a_o duty_n as_o if_o they_o be_v engage_v for_o to_o do_v it_o and_o and_o can_v not_o well_o omit_v it_o three_o they_o vary_v in_o this_o those_o who_o drink_v to_o their_o absent_a friend_n do_v seldom_o or_o never_o make_v the_o remembrance_n of_o these_o friend_n a_o ground_n or_o cause_n but_o only_o a_o consequent_a or_o concomitant_a of_o their_o drink_v they_o drink_v not_o because_o they_o will_v remember_v their_o friend_n but_o because_o they_o be_v thirsty_a make_v their_o thirst_n not_o their_o friend_n the_o occasion_n of_o their_o drink_v but_o in_o drink_v or_o pledge_v of_o health_n man_n make_v not_o their_o health_n a_o consequent_a or_o concomitant_a of_o their_o thirst_n but_o their_o thirst_n and_o drink_v a_o consequent_a or_o adjunct_n of_o their_o health_n 4._o they_o neither_o begin_v nor_o pledge_v these_o health_n because_o they_o be_v thirsty_a but_o they_o only_o force_v and_o feign_v themselves_o to_o be_v thirsty_a because_o they_o will_v begin_v and_o pledge_v these_o health_n their_o thirst_n be_v not_o the_o ground_n or_o cause_n of_o their_o health_n but_o their_o health_n of_o their_o thirst_n the_o remembrance_n therefore_o of_o friend_n be_v lawful_a but_o this_o health_v be_v not_o because_o it_o do_v even_o force_v a_o voluntary_a and_o wilful_a thirst_n upon_o man_n and_o so_o a_o excess_n and_o abuse_v of_o god_n good_a creature_n which_o can_v but_o be_v evil_a four_o those_o who_o drink_v to_o absent_a friend_n or_o kindred_n as_o they_o always_o drink_v only_o to_o one_o and_o not_o to_o all_o the_o company_n so_o they_o put_v no_o law_n nor_o necessity_n of_o pledge_v on_o those_o to_o who_o they_o drink_v but_o they_o always_o leave_v they_o at_o their_o liberty_n to_o pledge_v they_o when_o and_o what_o and_o how_o they_o will_v themselves_o but_o those_o who_o begin_v and_o health_n do_v put_v a_o 232._o kind_n of_o law_n necessity_n and_o force_n of_o pledge_v not_o only_o on_o those_o to_o who_o they_o drink_v but_o likewise_o on_o all_o the_o company_n there_o present_a and_o they_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n engage_v confine_v and_o limit_v they_o to_o pledge_v they_o in_o the_o same_o matter_n manner_n form_n and_o time_n as_o they_o begin_v it_o measure_v other_o man_n palate_n belly_n thirst_n and_o disposition_n by_o their_o own_o and_o force_v they_o to_o drink_v oft_o time_n against_o their_o will_n and_o stomach_n when_o as_o they_o be_v not_o thirsty_a therefore_o this_o drink_n of_o health_n must_v needs_o be_v evil_a though_o the_o other_o be_v not_o so_o five_o in_o our_o ordinary_a drink_v to_o absent_a friend_n there_o be_v no_o such_o idle_a vain_a scrupulous_a and_o superstitious_a ceremony_n rite_n or_o rule_v observe_v as_o there_o be_v in_o health_n wherein_o our_o most_o

fruit_n as_o the_o drink_v of_o health_n do_v because_o it_o never_o engage_v man_n to_o pledge_v the_o party_n so_o remember_v beside_o it_o give_v no_o scandal_n nor_o offence_n to_o any_o it_o

yea_o it_o have_v not_o its_o rise_n and_o pedigree_n from_o devil_n pagan_n and_o idolatry_n as_o health-drinking_a have_v wherefore_o though_o our_o ordinary_a and_o common_a not_o our_o excessive_a
