Secondly, To drink, notes a strong desire, so pleasure and content; and where there is a great deal of desire, there is also much content, and pleasure in drinking.
Secondly, To drinke, notes a strong desire, so pleasure and content; and where there is a great deale of desire, there is also much content, and pleasure in drinking.
Hence observe:
That it is a very pleasant thing to a carnal man to sin, he drinks iniquity, not only like water, but in this sense, like the sweetest Wine; a draught of sin is the only Merry-go-down to a carnal man. A drunkard likes his drink well, but he likes his drunkenness better: His liquor is sweet to him, but O how sweet is the satisfying of his lust! When he hath his desire he is pleased, when he is frustrated of his desire he is sullen, and like Ahab, when he could not obtain Naboth's Vineyard, he is displeased, and refuses (as he did) to eat bread, because he cannot have this water of iniquity to drink.

When he hath his desire he is pleased, when he is frustrated of his desire he is sullen, and like Ahab, when he could not obtaine Naboaths Vineyard, he is displeased, and refuses (as he did) to eate bread, because he cannot have this water of iniquity to drink.
