Let drunkenness stagger in the robes of good fellowship; and shroud it self under the wings of merriment; yet we see it have the punishment, even in this life. It corrupts the blood, drowns the spirits, beggars the purse, and enricheth the carcass with surfeits: a present judgement waits upon it. He that is a thief to others, is at last a thief also to himself; and steals away his own life. God doth not ever forbear sin to the last day; nor shall the bloody Ruffian still hescape but his own blood shall answer some in present, and his soul the rest eternally. Let the Seminary pretend a warrant from the Pope to betray and murder Princes; and build his damnation on their tetricall grounds; which have Parum rationis, minus honestatis, Religionis nihil; Little Reason, less Honesty, no Religion. Yet we see, God reveals their malicious stratagems, and buries them in their own pit. Piercies head now stands Sentinel, where he was once a Pioner.

God doth not euer forbeare sin to the last day; nor shall the bloudy Ruffian still hescape but his owne bloud shall answere some in present, and his soule the rest eternally. Let the Seminary pretend a warrant from the Pope to betray and murder Princes; and build his damnation on their tetricall grounds; which haue Parum rationis, minus honestatis, Religionis nihil; Little Reason, lesse Honestie, no Religion. Yet we see, God reueales their malicious stratagems, and buries them in their owne pit. Piercies head now stands Centinell, where he was once a Pioner.
