in a shallow Brook of water with his Horse by him 15. On the eighth of February a company of drunkards whose names are recorded as followeth Adam Gibbens George Kespel John Koysel Peter Horsdroff John Warner Simon Heamkers Jacob Hermons Hermon Frow these eight Drunkards in contempt of the blessed Sabbath agreed to go to the Tavern on the Lords day to be merry and coming to the house of one Anthony Hodge an honest godly man they called for burnt wine sack claret and what not the good man refusing to give them any advised them to go to Church to hear the Word of God but they all save Adam Gibbens refused saying they loathed that exercise Whereupon the Host departed who being gone to Church they began to curse and ban wishing he might break his neck ere he returned and wishing the Devil might break their necks if they went from thence till they had some Wine whereupon the Devil in likeness of a young man appeared unto them bringing in his hand a flaggon of wine and so drank to them saying Good fellows be merry you shall have wine enough you seem lusty Lads and I hope you will pay me well who answering said they would either pay him or ingage their necks for it yea rather then fail their bodies and Souls Thus these men continued drinking and swilling so long till they could hardly see one another at last the Devil their Host told them that now they must pay for all at which their hearts waxed cold but the Devil bid them be of good chear for now they must drink fire and brimstone with him in the pit of hell for ever At which the Devil brake their necks asunder and destroyed them And thus ended these dr●nkards their miserable days which may serve for a Cavet for all drunkards for ever 16. Two examples I have known by Children that have Murthered their own Mothers when they were in Drink and one notorious D●unkard who attempted to kill his own Father of which being hindred he fired his Barn and was after executed 17. On the third of August one T. Aldred of Godmanchester in Huntington-stire a Butcher and an accustomed drunkard being desired by a Neighbour to unpitch a load of Hay and being at that time in drink let his Pitchfork slip out of his hand and reaching to take it up fell down with his head foremost and fell upon his fork Tines being upwards and struck himself to the Heart and so dyed suddenly 18. One John Bone of Ely Coachman being given exeedingly to swearing and drunkenness drank himself so drunk on the Lords day that he fell out of the Coach-box and the horses trod him to death See Clarks Examples 19. A Bayliff of Hendly upon the Lords day being drunk at Melford got upon his horse to ride through the streets saying that his horse would carry him to the Devil and presently his Horse cast him and broke his Neck 20. A Glasier in Chancery-Lane not long since so overcharged his Stomach with wine that coming home he fell a Vomiting in so exteraordinary a manner that he broke a Vain and dyed two days after 21. In the Year 1674. some Children near Lambeth on the Lords day having as I was credibly informed got a pot of Drink amongst them drank a health to the Devil saying that he was a Son of a whore if he came not to pledge them but before they had drank round their invited guest the Devil appeared unto them ready to pledge them which almost frighted them out of their Wits and they lay in a sad condition for some time afterward 22. So great are these Sins of Drunkenness and Whoredom and Sabbath-breaking that it hath brought several persons to ruine and unto untimely and shameful ends As for an Example The young-man that was hanged for murthering his fellow-servant by name Thomas Savage confessed that the sin of Druhkenness Whoring and Sabbath-breaking brought him to that untimely end 23. Also likwise the Captain and Lieutenant of the Pyrates that were executed in 1674. confessed that Whoring and Ill company brought them to that untimely end 24. So a young-man that was hanged in Chains in Kent March last 1674. for murdering his sweet-heart and her son confessed at the Gibbet that Drunkenness and Sabbath-breaking brought him to that untimely end 25. So also the Two Men that Hang in Chains the one at Hampstead and the other between High-gate and Islington this last year all these confessed at the Gibbet with much grief of heart that these too common sins of Drunkenness Whoredom and excess hath brought them to their untimely ends how d●d they with grief of heart exhort all others to take warning by them who are made publick spectacles of shame and Infamy 26. And truly there is hardly any of those persons that are executed at Tyburn every month but confess the same that those sins have been their ruine Consider of these things O thou Drunkard and Whoremonger and repent before it be too late and take warning by these sad examples lest thou fall with these persons and pertake of these punishments Think not that those on whom the Tower of Shilo fell were greater sinners then ye but except you repent you shall likewise perish Luke 10. 27. Some Examples against Whoredom and Adultry both from Scripture and History 1. It is forbidden of God as you may read Exodus 20. 14. Thou shalt not commit Adultry Luke 8. 20. thou knowest the Commandme … do not commit Adultry complained of in Jer. 9. 1. Rom. 2. 2. Prov. 30. 20. Threatned Psal 50. 18. Read Mal. 3. 5. Heb. 13. 3. Whormongers and Adulterers will God judge Read Prov. 6. 16. For by means of whorish women a man is brought to a morsel of bread and the Adultress will hunt for the precious Life Punished Levite 20. 10. Prov. 6. 32. David the Sword never departed his house 1 Sam. 2. 4. Ely's Sons 1 Sam. 2. 4. With many other Scriptures against this beastly and filthy Sin so much gloried in this Age to their very great shame See these following Examples the truth of which I could relate 28. The Aegyptians used to cut off the nose of the Adultress where to the Prophet alludes in Ezekiel 29. Anno Christi 1583. In London two Citizens were committing Adultry together on the Lords day who were immediately struck with fire from Heaven in the very act of uncleanness Their bodies were found half burnt up and sending forth a most filthy savour 30. Mr. Cleaver reports of one whom he knew that had committed the act of uncleanness whereupon he fell into such horror of Conscience that he hanged himself leaving it thus written in a Paper Indeed saith he I do acknowledge it to be utterly unlawful for a Man to kill himself but I am bound to act the Magistrates part because the Punishment of this Sin is Death See more in the book the sins of Whordome and Adultery condemned 31. Lastly God will make
