It reproves Jovial Sinners,1 who are so far from fearing God, that they spend their time in mirth and wantonness. Luke 17.27. They did eat, they drank, they married, till the flood came and destroyed them all. There is a place in Africa called Tombutium, where the Inhabitants spend all the day in piping and dancing. What sensual effeminate lives do the Gallants of our age live! They spend their Life in a Frolic. As if God had made them to be like the Leviathan who plays in the Sea. Job 21.13. They take the Timbrel and Harp, and rejoice at the sound of the Organ. They ride to Hell upon the back of Pleasure, and go merrily to damnation.
