1Now I come to his two last offences, he suffered himself to be made drunken by his daughters two several times, one shortly after another. You see how a good man may be overtaken with grievous sins, and drawn by those whom he loveth and trusteth to grievous abominations. O let us fear our selves and pity others, and take heed we suffer not our nearest friends to be a snare unto us. Especially beware of drunkenness, it is not alone a great offence it self, but lays us open to all other crimes. Make a man drunken, and he will easily be drawn to deflower his own daughter. Keep your selves from excessive drinking of wine or strong drink. It is raging, it is mocking, it will change you into very beasts, and make you run into such crimes, as your souls at other times would even loath to think of. Labour to be temperate, or else you do hardly be chaste and modest. Deprive not your selves of reason by pleasing your palate, expose not your selves to the danger of the foulest of all sins, by so base a pleasure as satisfying the taste with ⟨p. 179⟩the relish of this liquor. And all you Governors and Magistrates, set your selves with all diligent severity to prevent and beat down drunkenness; if this offence abound, all other evils will abound with it.
