Lessius de justitia & jure, in his Question, Utrum sit peccatum provocare ad aequales calices, & an fas sit respondere? Whether it be a sin to begin an health, and whether it be lawful to pledge it? Besides other proofs and authorities; ⁿIt is ⟨p. 205⟩against reason, saith he: for neither reason, nor necessity of nature, nor good health, nor the vigour of the mind, nor the alacrity ²of the senses, is made the rule of drinking; but another mans belly, nay, the whole capacity of his belly, bowels, veins. Thou mayest fitlier term these, as great Basil calls them, bottles, barrels, very pipes, or rather sinks, then men; fellows fit only for the office of Hog-heads, to receive a great deal of wine, or rather to convey it through their body, as through a sink; and so wickedly waste it. And it is a wonder, saith he, they do not in like manner make matches, and try masteries also in eating, sleeping, &c.
