In a collection of the most remarkable examples of Gods revealed wrath upon these sins with their aggravations, as well from scripture, as reason.

he might cut it off so the Devil makes up all his compounds of this one sin this he makes the onely rode to the breach of all Gods Commandments at once as one well said Prove a man ungrateful and he is every thing that is evil So let a man be a Drunkard and I le secure he shall not stick at the vilest Murther Rape or whatever mischief come in his way This sin is without a guard and though it be the King of other sins yet it hath not so much as a life-guard for some kill their dearest friend who when sober account him according to that wise standard of Solomons friendship better than a Brother others their Father Sister and the Wife of their bosom Cyrillus was slaine by his drunken son who not content with his Fathers blood sends his Mother with child to another world in a bloody winding-sheet wounds one of his Sisters and deflowers another Uncleannesse escapes not this beastly sin any more than Murder an example whereof is recorded of one that tempted to Adultery Murder or Drunkennesse chose the last as the least but proved the greatest it was all of them for now drunk he commits Adultery with one whose Husband at the same time coming in he murders the sin of uncleannesse is the channel wherein Drunkennesse runneth Nunquam ego ebrium castum putabo sayes one I will never believe that chastity lodgeth in the Drunkards bed As its said of Pumming-stones amongst the Mediterranean Islands that they are produced of the scum of those Seas so I may say of uncleannesse that it is the froth of drunkennesse Wine is to most men the milk of Venus he can never have a pure soul in a chast body that sucks at these breasts that frequents the society of this Baude of lust It is the furnace of lust the forge on which the devil frames all other sins upon As in Nature all things spring from the Root so all sins are incorporated into this one of drunkennesse As our natures contain the seeds of all impiety and there lie for mintage so when once a man is drunk he is ready to coine any mischief and set the devils stampe on every action I pray God keep every man from this sin The outward evils are not few thy Estate Family Relations smart for thy drunken excesse and when thou art under the extremity what thinkest thou is the greatest smart but to consider that thy distraction is of thy self If a severer judgement prevent not this misery of want and need ●n old age will be the inseparable ghost of this sin A Drunkard makes himself the living tomb of his Ancestors travelling from luxury to necessity never till now writes an omnia vanit as upon his extravagancies This sin sayes one is like gun-powder which blowes up many a faire fortune And no doubt that which cuts sore is To consider not onely my own misery and poverty but that my poor and innocent relations should come to misery thorough the road of my sin that thorough want they should be put upon such rocks of sin and temptation as post them out of the World with lamentation and woes against such courses the guilt whereof lyeth at my door This is the vinegar and gall The next evil is the miserable estate of their bodies some mens sins run before to judgement and some come after This sin I think is foremost in every thing for whereas God sayes I will destroy both the meat and the belly he cries No no I will not stay so long I le destroy my self by Rhumes Dropsies Gouts
