Wo to him that giveth his neighbour drink that puttest thy bottle to him and makest him drunken also that thou mayest look on his nakedness Thou art filled with shame for glory drink thou also and let thy foreskin be uncovered the cup of the Lords right hand shall be turned unto thee and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory THe Prophet Habakkuk in the foregoing verses of this chapter having denounced several woes against several evils and reigning sins as cruelty covetousness he coms here in this verse to denounce a sad woe against that most odious and abominable sin of Drunkenness a sin too too much abounding in these our dayes Woe saith the Prophet to him that giveth his neighbour drink The word in the original is Wo to him that drinketh to his neighbour that is with an intent to make him drunk as the following words do declare That puttest thy bottle to him and makest him drunk also The word in the original is that puttest thy poison to him discovering to us the great evil that is in overmuch drinking it poisons the soul and makes the whole man unserviceable both to God and man Now that I may discover unto you the odiousness of this beastly swinish and abominable sin of Drunkenness I shall first set forth unto you the nature and condition of this filthy evil and thereby shew you what it is in the next place God willing I shall endeavour to set forth unto you the odiousness of this beast-like sin and then give you some further discoveries thereof in shewing you First how this sin of Drunkenness is hurtful both to our own and other mens souls 2. How it is offensive and displeasing to God and odious to good men And then 3. I shall shew you how it wounds and destroyes both our good names our credit our estates yea our all in this life yea and without the great mercy of God how it will bring everlasting horror and confusion upon us both in soul and body to all eternity in the life to come And then fourthly and lastly I shall give you some few but fearful Examples of Gods heavy wrath and vengeance executed upon notorious Drunkards even in this life and so conclude in a word or two of Exhortation Drunkenness is a flattering devil a sweet poison as one saith and a delightsom sin which who so delighteth himself in is not himself but a common shame even to nature it self and perpetual disgrace to mankinde And men may be said to be guilty of drunkenness when they take in either wine or strong drink beyond measure so as there follows an intoxication of the powers of the soul and this Drunkenness is a sin that procures miserable plagues and sorrows both to the soul and to the body inflaming the blood with unnatural heat from whence comes Dropsies Consumptions and cold diseases with untimely deaths so that many by drinking Healths to others have drank away health from themselves a most abominable practice Secondly drunkenness confounds the memory dulls the understanding distempers the body defaceth beauty hurts the minde for the heat and brain being the mediate instruments of the soul and by drinking distempered and inflamed and thereupon ariseth wicked imaginations disordered and unruly affections from whence also cometh stinking breaths redness of eyes weakness woes sorrows wounds and contentions and such like being the fruits thereof as Solomon saith Pro. 23 29 30. In the 29. ver saith he Who hath woes who hath sorrow who hath contention who hath bablings who hath wounds without cause who hath redness of eyes They saith he v. 30. that tarry long at the wine they that go to the mixt wine 3. Drunkenness corrupteth the blood drowneth the spirits and beggars the purse The Drunkard saith Solomon Prov. 23.21 shall come to poverty And further it inricheth the carkass with Surfets and Dropsies and turns the very Blood into water and the very Soul into froth swinishly disanimating the understanding power of the same 4. Drunkenness causeth vomiting and filthiness of which the Lord himself complains by the Prophet Isaiah Chap. 21.7 8. speaking of the Priests he saith They also have erred through wine and through strong drink are they out of the way the Priests the Prophets have erred through strong drink they are swallowed up of wine they are out of the way through strong drink they erre in vision they stumble in judgement For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness so that there is no place clean Now the evil of this abominable sin of drunkenness I shall here set forth unto you in these three things First as it respects God 2. As it respects other men 3. As it respects the drunkards themselves And first as it respects God and so the sin of drunkennes makes men forget God and his laws Hos 13.5 Prov. 31.4 5. saith Solomon drinking of wine and strong drink makes men forget both the laws of God and man 2. Drunkenness is Idolatry it sets up another God which is a most notorious sin Phil. 3.19 Whose God is their belly saith the Apostle The Babylonians had Bell for their God a God of Brass but drunkards and gluttons make their Bellies their gods gods of flesh their whole thoughts cares and endeavours are onely to please their bellies their whole course of their life is nothing else but a filthy delight in drinking and swilling to please their base lusts they are Belly-gods which love good liquors who serve their Bellies as St. Paul saith Rom. 16.11 The Rabbins were
