Or A compendious and briefe discourse; prouing, the drinking and pledging of healthes, to be sinfull, and vtterly vnlawfull vnto Christians by arguments, Scriptures, fathers, moderne diuines, Christian authors, historians, councels; imperiall lawes and constitutions; and by the voyce and verdict of prophane and heathen writers: wherein all those ordinary obiections, excuses, or pretences which are made to iustifie, extenuate, or excuse the drinking or pledging of healthes, are likewise cleared and answered.

infidel_n and_o pagan_n who_o do_v usual_o drink_v the_o health_n of_o their_o devill-god_n in_o token_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o they_o shall_v produce_v this_o scripture_n to_o justify_v these_o their_o health_n it_o may_v yield_v they_o some_o colour_n for_o they_o if_o their_o god_n be_v true_a but_o for_o christian_n to_o pervert_v and_o abuse_v this_o sacred_a text_n of_o take_v the_o cup_n of_o salvation_n and_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o invocation_n or_o commemoration_n of_o any_o man_n but_o especial_o of_o a_o vicious_a or_o wicked_a person_n name_n in_o quaff_v of_o his_o health_n i_o see_v not_o how_o they_o can_v be_v well_o excuse_v from_o blasphemy_n and_o gross_a idolatry_n 2._o object_n other_o there_o be_v of_o a_o more_o moderate_a temper_n who_o object_n in_o defence_n of_o health_n that_o they_o serve_v to_o honour_v king_n prince_n nobles●_n friend_n and_o such_o who_o health_n they_o drink_v therefore_o they_o be_v and_o may_v be_v lawful_a 2._o answer_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o we_o be_v to_o honour_v none_o but_o in_o that_o way_n and_o course_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v limit_v and_o prescribe_v to_o we_o but_o god_n himself_o do_v never_o teach_v we_o no_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o saint_n or_o child_n to_o honour_v man_n in_o drink_v of_o their_o health_n therefore_o we_o be_v no●_n for_o to_o honour_v they_o in_o this_o kind_n or_o nature_n if_o this_o reason_n which_o be_v object_v can_v pass_v as_o currant_n the_o egyptian_n and_o joseph_n may_v justify_v 16._o their_o swear_n by_o the_o life_n of_o pharaoh_n because_o they_o do_v it_o for_o his_o honour_n yea_o the_o parasite_n and_o flatterer_n of_o alexander_n the_o great_a may_v by_o this_o mean_n justify_v and_o defend_v their_o 5._o adoration_n of_o he_o for_o a_o god_n because_o it_o make_v for_o his_o great_a honour_n in_o their_o esteem_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v honour_v king_n and_o other_o we_o must_v not_o do_v it_o in_o drink_v and_o quaff_v off_o their_o health_n but_o in_o that_o course_n and_o way_n which_o god_n himself_o prescribe_v unto_o we_o even_o in_o give_v they_o that_o outward_a reverence_n obedience_n service_n and_o respect_n and_o that_o due_a and_o just_a applause_n which_o their_o place_n their_o worth_n their_o virtue_n and_o their_o grace_n do_v deserve_v second_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n never_o appoint_v drink_v for_o any_o other_o end_n but_o to_o ●ourish_v and_o cherish_v man_n body_n and_o to_o refresh_v their_o spirit_n by_o a_o moderate_a and_o sober_a use_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o liquor_n that_o we_o drink_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v more_o cheerful_a quick_a and_o forward_o in_o his_o service_n if_o therefore_o the_o health_n we_o drink_v tend_v to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o honour_v king_n and_o prince_n and_o those_o who_o health_n we_o drink_v as_o this_o objection_n do_v pretend_v they_o do_v but_o 2._o pervert_v and_o abuse_v the_o use_n and_o end_n of_o drink_v and_o so_o by_o consequence_n abuse_n god_n creature_n which_o be_v a_o great_a and_o capital_a sin_n as_o therefore_o 8._o we_o must_v not_o do_v evil_a in_o any_o kind_n that_o so_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o so_o we_o must_v not_o abuse_v our_o drink_n nor_o god_n good_a creature_n in_o our_o health_n that_o so_o some_o vain_a and_o trivial_a honour_n may_v redound_v to_o other_o by_o it_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o drink_n or_o pledge_v of_o man_n health_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o honour_n benefit_n or_o advantage_n to_o they_o as_o vain_a and_o ebrious_a person_n do_v surmise_n that_o it_o be_v the_o according_o great_a indignity_n and_o dishonour_n the_o great_a
