Hitherto we have sufficiently declared, that the abuse of wine is both against the holy scriptures, and also humane reason. Now let us prove the same by examples: that they which will not believe by the sentences before alleged, may yet at the least be taught by these examples. Noah a great man, just, and loved of God,1 who saw two constitutions of the world (for he lived both before and after the flood) is set forth unto us, as an example utterly to avoid drunkenness, when as he having drunk more wine then was meet, lay in the tabernacle most filthily naked, and his privy parts, which were wont to be covered, he left ⟨p. 163⟩bare and uncovered: and he which was wont to be a schoolmaster of virtues, was a great offence unto his children. Ham mocked him: the other two sons of a better and holier nature, were sorry, and very much ashamed of their fathers filthiness. By this act it is sufficiently declared, that shame, derision, and offence follow drunkenness.

Cham mocked him: the other two sonnes of a better and holier nature, were sory, and very much ashamed of their fathers filthines.
