I come to the last kind of Intemperance: and this in drinks, we call it drunkenness. My theme is still Temperance: wherein I confess, that as Physicians coming to their patients, often catch some of their diseases: so you may say, that I fall into the vice I reprove, and that against excess, I speak excessively.

They have erred through wine: which I take there not so much to be intended against this corporal, as that spiritual drunkenness: for it is said, They were in vision, and stumble in judgement. I am not to deal with that dry drunkenness; but only with the first, and haply the worst.
