¶Of wine and drunkenness.
¶Of wyne and dronkennes.
But because very many untemperate men, being reproved for drunkenness, are wont by this sentence to excuse their sin, which otherwise is most filthy, saying that they abuse not wine, forasmuch as they use it to that end, for which it was invented, and created of God, namely that men with it should make them selves merry:1 therefore I thought it good to refel their wantonness. Wherefore first I will declare the just use of wine. Afterward I will show the abuse thereof, teaching it to be against the law of God. Then will I bring examples, manifestly to open that the abuse of it is a thing as well damnable as filthy and detestable. Moreover I will rehearse the horrible effects of this evil. And lastly I will answer to those cavillations and sophistical arguments, by which the Epicures defend drunkenness, and the abuse of wine.
