eDo not adjure, do not urge thy friend to drink, but leave him to himself to drink as much as he please; and if he will needs be drunk, let him alone perish, and be not both damned.

fBeloved brethren, while I tell you these things, I free mine ⟨p. 203⟩own soul before God. Whosoever disdains to hear me, and continues still in his humour of drinking; or to adjure and urge others at their feasts, shall be full dearly answerable both for himself and them at the day of Judgement. And because, which is worse, even some men of the Church also, which ought to forbid it, even they urge others to drink more then is expedient; let them henceforward begin to amend themselves and reprove others, &c.
