THE FIRST SERMON OF Noahs drunkennes A GLASSE WHEREIN all drunkards may behold their beastlinesse Noah also began to be an husbandman and planted a vineyard and he dranke of the wine and was drunken and was vncouered in the middest of his tent Gen. 9.20 HENRY SMITH Imprinted at London by William Kearney dwelling within Câ—ceple-gate 1591. THE FIRST SERMON of Noahs drunkennes GEN. 9.20 21. Noah also began to be a husbandman and planted a vineyard And he drunke of the wine and was drunken and was vncouered in the middes of his tent FIrst we are to speake of Noah then of Caine his wicked sonne after of Shem and Iapheth his good sonnes In Noah first of that which hee did well and then of his sinne In Caine first of his sinne and then of his cursse In his bretheren first of their reuereÌ„ce and then of their blessing Now we will speake of the Father and after of his Children Then saith Moses Noah began to be a husbandman This is the first name which is giuen to Noah after the floud hee is called an husbandman the first worke which is mencioned was the plantinge of a vineyard one would think when all men were drowned with the floud none left aliue to possesse the earth but Noah and his sonnes that he should haue founde him selfe some thinge else to doo then to plante vineyardes and that the Holye Ghost should haue intituled him King of the worlde and not an husbandman of the earth seing there be no such men as Noah was which had more in his hand then anie King hath in the world or shall haue to the worldes end but heerby the holy Ghost would show that God doth not respect Kings for their tytles nor men for their riches as we do and therfore he nameth Noah after the work which he did not after the possessions which he had an husbandman It seemeth that there was greate diuersitie betweene their age and ours For if wee should see now a King goe to plough a noble man driue the teame a gentleman keepe sheepe he should be scorned for his labour more then Noah was for his drunkennes yet when we read how this Monarche of the Worlde thought no scorne to play the husbaÌ„dman we consider not his princely calling nor his ancient yeers nor his large possessions to commend his industrie or modestie or lowlye minde therein Which may teach vs humilitie though we learne to disdaine husbandrye of whome will we learne to be humble if Kings giue examples and the sonne of God humbleth himselfe from heauen to earth and yet we contenine the example of the Kings of the earth and the example of the King of heauen The time was when Adam digged and delued when Dauid kept Sheep and all the house of Jacob were called men occupied aboute Cattell but as they for this were abhominable to the Egiptians as Moses saith in the same verse so they which doo like them are abhorred of their bretheren and they which liue by them scorne them for their work which would be chastned them selues because they worke not There was no arte nor science which was so much set by in former times is now profitable to the CoÌ„monwelth bringing lesse profite vnto it selfe that may so iustly complain of her fall without cause and her despite from them which liue by her as this painefull science of husbandry that it is maruell that any man wil take paine for the rest to be contemned for his labor and be a scorne for the rest which might hunger and starue if he did not labor for them more then they do them selues No maruell then though many in the poore Countries murmure and complaine that other cannot liue by them and they cannot liue themselues but it is maruell if their complainte do not growe in time to rebellion and pull other as lowe as them selues for why should the greatest paine yeelde the least profite yet this is their case for if you marke you shall see that the husband man dooth bate the prise of his fruites so soone as the dearth is past though he raiseth it a little while the dearth lasteth but they which raise the price of their wares with him seldome fall againe but make men paye as deere when the dearth is past as if it were a dearth still Thus a plentifull yeer doth damage him and a hard yeer doth vantage them So this painefull man is faine to liue poorely fare meanely goe barely house homely rise early labour dayly sell cheape and buye deere that I may truely say that no man deserueth his liuing better no man fulfilleth the law neerer that is thou shalt get thy liuing in the sweat of thy browes Then this poore sonne of Adam which picks his crummes out of the earth therefore he should not be mocked for his labor which hath vexation mough though all men spake well of him and in my opinion if anye deserue to be loued for his innocencie or for his trueth or his paine or the good which he bringes to the Common wealth this Realme is not so much beholding to any sorte of men but those that feed the soule as those which feed the body that is thos that labour the earth yet you see how they liue like drudges as though they were your seruants to prouide food for you and after to bring it to your dores as the beastes serue them so they serue you as though you were an other kind of men I can not think vpon their miserie but my thought tells me that it is a greate parte of our vnthankfulnes that we neuer consider what an easie life and liuing God hath giuen vnto vs in respect of them If the Apostles rule were kept they which doo not worke should not eate but now they which do not worke eate most and the husbandmen which worke eate not but are like Bees which prepare foode for other pinch them selues Let vs consider this for they had not one law and wean other but the same cursse which was denounced vppon Adam was denounced vppon all his Children that euery man should get his liuinge in the sweate of his browes Although I knowe there be diuers workes and diuers giftes and diuers callings to worke in yet alwaies prouided they which do not worke should not eate for in the sweat of thy browes that is in labour and trauell thou King and thou iudge and thou prelate thou landlord and thou gentleman shalt get thy liuing as Adam thy father did or else thou doest auoide the cursse and a greater cursse shall follow that is they which will not sweate in earth shall sweat in hell Adam had foode as well as thou and so had Noah and more then thou vnlesse thou hadst all for they had all and yet they might not be idle because their handes were not giuen them for nothing Some worke with their pen some with their tungs some with their fingers as nature

an hower though we be rich at this present pouerty may come so dainlye though wee be well while we are here yet we may fall sick before night euen as Noah is praised in one verse and dispraised in an other euen now God commends him for his lowlines and now discommendes him for his drunkennes as though he had forgot all his righteousnes so soone as he sinned and would call in his praise againe This was to shewe that Noah was not saued from the floud because he deserued to be saued but because God had a fauour vnto him for hee which was not drowned with water was drowned after with wine As the Pharises when they had doone well were proud of it and lost their reward so when Noah had doone a good work he spotted it with sinne and was dispraise where he was praised as though God repented him that he commenmended him He planted well but he drunke not well therefore that which was good did him hurt that seeing he was trapped with a good worke what so euer we do we may remember how easie it is to sinne if we misse in the matter or in the manner or time or the place or the measure as Noah did He which planteth the vineyard is worthy to tast of the grape but if thou haue found hony saith Salomon eate not too much least thou surfet So if thou hast fouÌ„d wine drink not to much lest thou surfet A litle wine is better theÌ„ a great deale and if thou wilt follow the Apostles counsell thou must drinke it but for thy stomachs sake least that happen to thee which thou shalt heare of this noble patriarch Though he was neuer so righteous before God and men though hee escaped the destruction which lighted vppon all the worlde though he had all the soules of the aier and beastes of the land at his coÌ„maund though he passed the pilgrimage of man nine huÌ„dreth yeres yet Noah was but a man so auncient so righteous so mightie so happie Noah showed him selfe but a man for drinking the wine which him selfe had planted he was drunkeÌ„ This is Noahs fault he was druÌ„ken with his owne wine as Lot was defiled with his owne daughters If Cain his sonne had taken to much and stript himself as his father did the holy ghost would scarce haue spoken of it because he was a man of no note but when the father forgate him selfe and gaue this offence marke the manner of the holy Ghost as though he would showe you a wonder he displayeth Noahs drunkennes as Cain displayed his nakednes as if he would saye come and see the the strength of man hee which was counted so righteous he which beleeued the threatning like Lot when the rest mocked he to whom all the foules of the ayer and the beastes of the earth flocked in couples as they came to Adam Hee which was reserued to declare the iudgementes of God and to beginne the worlde againe Noah the example of sobrietie the example of moderation is ouer-come with drink as if he had neuer been the man How easilie how quickly the iust the wise the prudent hath lost his sence his memorye his reason as though he had neuer been the maÌ„ And how hard it is to auoide sinne when occasion is at hand and pleasant oportunity tempteth to sinne it is easier for the bird to goe by the net then to breake the net so it is easier for a man to auoid temptations theÌ„ to ouercome temptations therfore God forbad Baalam not onely to cursse the people as Balack would haue him but he forbad him to goe with Balackes seruantes knowing that if he went with them saw the pomp of the Court and heard the King him selfe speak vnto him and felt the tikeling rewarde it would straine his conscience and make him doubt whether he should cursse or blesse Peter but warming him selfe at Cayphas fier was ouercome by a silye Damsel to do that which he neuer thought euen to forsweare his Lord God therefore Daniel would not eat of the Kings meat least he should be teÌ„pted to the Kings will showing vs that there is no way to escape sinne but to auoid occasioÌ„ Therfore Dauid prayeth Turne away mine eyes from vanitie as though his eyes would draw his hart as the baite tilleth on the hooke Noah thought to drink he thought not to be drunk but as he which commeth to the feild to sound the Trumpet is slaine as soone as he which commeth to fight so the same wine distempereth Noah which hath distempered so manie since Where he thought to take his reward and tast the fruite of his owne handes God set an euerlasting blot vppon him which stickes fast till this day like a barre in his armes so long as the name of Noah is spoken of that we can not reade of his vertue but we must reade of his sinne whereby euerie man is warned to receaue the gifts of God reuerently to vse them soberly and to sanctifie him selfe before he reache foorth his hand vnto them that they may comfort and profit vs with that secret blessing which God hath hid in them or else euerie thing the best giftes of God may hurt vs as this pleasant wine stained and confounded the great Patriarch when he delighted too much in it which he might haue drunke as Christ did at his last Supper and this disgrace had neuer ben written in his storie but god would haue a fearful example like the Pillar of salt to stand before those beasts whos only strife is to make trial who can quaff deepest she wall their valiantnesse in wine Because there is such warning before vs now we haue the drunkard in schooling I will spend the time that is left to shewe you the deformity of this sinne if any heare me which haue ben ouer taken with it let them not maruell why he cannot loue his enemies which loueth such an enemie as this which leadeth till he reeleth dulles him till he be a foole stealeth away his sence his wit his memorie his health his credit his freends and when she hath stripped him as bare as Noah then shee exposeth him like Noah to Cham and all that see him do mocke him it is a wonder almost that anye man should be drunke that hath seene a drunkard before swelling and puffing and soming and spuing and groueling like a beast for who would be like a beast for all the world Looke vdon the druÌ„kard when his eyes stares his mouth driuels his toung falters his face flames his handes tremble his feet reele how vglye how monstrous how loathsom dooth he seeme to thee so loathsom doest thou seem to others when thou art in the like taking And how loathsom then doost thou seeme to God Therfore the first law which Adam receiued of god was abstinence which if he had kept he had kept all vertues beside but intemperancie lost all In abstinence the law came to Moses and he falled
