that_o there_o be_v no_o good_a no_o gracious_a nor_o holy_a man_n in_o all_o the_o world_n that_o dare_v to_o force_v thou_o for_o to_o pledge_v he_o and_o as_o for_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n if_o thou_o will_v but_o with_o modesty_n wisdom_n courage_n and_o discretion_n stand_v it_o out_o they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o force_v thou_o for_o to_o pledge_v they_o what_o

will_v even_o terrify_v and_o 15._o daunt_v their_o heart_n wherefore_o to_o say_v that_o these_o will_v force_v thou_o for_o to_o pledge_v they_o before_o thou_o have_v put_v it_o to_o the_o trial_n be_v but_o a_o vain_a excuse_n and_o mere_a pretence_n to_o shroud_v thy_o cowardice_n or_o excess_n in_o drink_v which_o will_v not_o avail_v thou_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n second_o admit_v thou_o be_v put_v to_o this_o extremity_n that_o thou_o must_v drink_v excessive_o against_o thy_o stomach_n or_o thy_o conscience_n or_o else_o thou_o must_v die_v for_o it_o i_o answer_v with_o saint_n augustine_n in_o the_o self_n same_o case_n 232._o that_o it_o be_v far_o better_o for_o thou_o that_o thy_o temperate_a flesh_n shall_v be_v slay_v then_o that_o thy_o soul_n shall_v die_v of_o drunkenness_n better_o be_v it_o for_o thou_o 62._o since_o the_o necessity_n of_o salvation_n be_v the_o great_a necessity_n of_o all_o other_o to_o die_v of_o the_o menace_a and_o injurious_a sword_n which_o can_v but_o kill_v the_o body_n then_o of_o this_o mortal_a and_o soul-slaying_a sin_n which_o kill_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n too_o without_o repentance_n and_o that_o for_o ever_o three_o though_o thou_o have_v man_n to_o menace_v thou_o for_o refuse_v health_n yet_o thou_o have_v god_n himself_o to_o stand_v by_o thou_o and_o encourage_v thou_o if_o thou_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n obedience_n and_o conscience_n unto_o god_n he_o will_v protect_v and_o shelter_v thou_o from_o all_o the_o evil_a and_o danger_n that_o can_v befall_v thou_o for_o his_o sake_n or_o turn_v it_o to_o thy_o great_a good_a and_o glory_n 19_o better_a therefore_o be_v it_o for_o thou_o to_o depend_v on_o god_n in_o fear_v please_a and_o obey_v he_o then_o to_o distrust_v offend_v or_o disobey_v he_o for_o fear_n or_o love_n of_o man_n if_o thou_o incur_v the_o displeasure_n or_o wrath_n of_o man_n in_o refuse_v health_n yet_o thou_o shall_v win_v the_o grace_n the_o love_n the_o

we_o can_v plead_v necessity_n or_o compulsion_n in_o excuse_n of_o any_o sin_n because_o 11._o christian_n have_v but_o this_o one_o necessity_n put_v upon_o they_o not_o to_o sin_n last_o admit_v

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

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

pretence_n answer_v and_o excuse_n of_o those_o who_o begin_v these_o health_n to_o other_o be_v thus_o clear_v and_o answer_v i_o come_v now_o to_o answer_v those_o pretence_n extenuation_n and_o excuse_n which_o man_n allege_v for_o pledge_v health_n which_o be_v far_o more_o tolerable_a than_o those_o for_o drink_v and_o begin_v health_n because_o there_o be_v some_o colourable_a pretence_n and_o engagement_n for_o to_o pledge_v a_o health_n that_o be_v once_o begin_v though_o there_o be_v no_o colour_n nor_o ground_n at_o all_o to_o begin_v a_o health_n the_o first_o excuse_n and_o pretence_n for_o pledge_v health_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a and_o common_a 123._o custom_n for_o to_o pledge_v a_o health_n and_o there_o be_v few_o who_o do_v refuse_v it_o therefore_o since_o most_o man_n nay_o great_a man_n and_o learned_a man_n drink_v and_o pledge_v these_o health_n we_o may_v lawful_o and_o safe_o do_v it_o as_o well_o as_o they_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o christian_n must_v live_v by_o precept_n not_o by_o example_n they_o must_v not_o so_o much_o regard_v what_o other_o do_v as_o what_o themselves_o be_v command_v and_o

contrary_a to_o god_n word_n in_o all_o thing_n if_o then_o thou_o have_v no_o ground_n nor_o warrant_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o to_o pledge_v these_o health_n but_o rather_o to_o abhor_v they_o as_o the_o vanity_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o as_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o insidel_n and_o pagan_n which_o beseem_v not_o christian_n thou_o 12._o be_v not_o for_o to_o pledge_v they_o though_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o shall_v do_v it_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v not_o always_o look_v what_o the_o worst_a and_o most_o of_o man_n do_v usual_o practice_v 3._o but_o what_o christ_n himself_o by_o his_o own_o example_n have_v teach_v we_o for_o to_o do_v now_o christ_n himself_o do_v never_o teach_v we_o either_o by_o his_o precept_n or_o

great_a part_n of_o man_n 231._o who_o multitude_n can_v yield_v no_o patronage_n to_o any_o evil_n approve_v and_o pledge_v these_o health_n yet_o the_o best_a and_o holy_a of_o god_n saint_n do_v utter_o refuse_v and_o reject_v they_o unless_o it_o be_v when_o as_o they_o be_v overcome_v of_o too_o much_o pusillanimity_n and_o slavish_a fear_n therefore_o we_o must_v imitate_v and_o follow_v they_o though_o they_o be_v the_o small_a number_n and_o not_o the_o most_o and_o worst_a four_o we_o must_v not_o so_o much_o consider_v nor_o examine_v what_o man_n way_n and_o action_n as_o what_o their_o judgement_n and_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o conscience_n be_v because_o man_n action_n do_v oft_o time_n vary_v from_o their_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n witness_v the_o ordinary_a practice_n and_o live_v of_o many_o who_o live_v in_o gross_a and_o know_v sin_n against_o their_o judgement_n and_o their_o conscience_n now_o most_o of_o those_o who_o drink_n or_o pledge_v these_o health_n especial_o such_o who_o have_v any_o grace_n or_o civility_n in_o they_o do_v secret_o condemn_v they_o in_o their_o judgement_n their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n do_v secret_o distaste_v they_o and_o they_o do_v even_o condemn_v and_o judge_v themselves_o when_o as_o they_o drink_v or_o pledge_v they_o wherefore_o we_o shall_v here_o abondon_v and_o disclaim_v the_o very_a drink_n and_o pledge_v of_o these_o health_n because_o the_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n of_o those_o that_o pledge_v they_o do_v oft_o time_n check_v they_o and_o condemn_v they_o for_o it_o last_o i_o

and_o colour_n for_o to_o imitate_v they_o but_o if_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o soul_n shall_v secret_o upon_o full_a deliberation_n condemn_v and_o tax_v they_o for_o it_o as_o i_o make_v no_o

themselves_o in_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o allow_v the_o second_o excuse_n and_o pretence_n for_o pledge_v health_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o uncivil_a unmannerly_a discourteous_a and_o
