But of this sin we have a notable example in Lot, 1who undoubtedly drank not immoderately, to the end he would abuse his daughters, and to commit incest, but to put away cares and griefs which he had taken, for the overthrow of the .v. Cities, for the loss of his dear wife, and also of his substance. He would also comfort his Daughters, that they should not take to much thought, specially for the loss of their mother: although he ought to have invented other ways of comforting. But this I speak only, least any man should think that he did with his will drink to much, to pollute him self with most filthy lusts: Yet for all that, to much abundance of drink was the cause of his most vile incest, being otherwise an old man, and in a time far out of purpose, forasmuch as the judgements of God were declared against the filthy lusts of the five Cities. And which is wonderful, wine so alienated Lot from him self, that he understood not with what women he had companied. Wherefore rightly saith Seneca in his .84. Epistle before alleged:2 They which are drunk do many things, which afterward when they are sober, they are ashamed of. Lot sought to make him self merry by wine, and he incurred a perpetual heaviness. Let them therefore which seek to be made merry with overmuch wine, remember that they put them selves in to a most present danger, and by that means may easily throw them selves headlong into most grievous wicked acts.
But of thys synne wee haue a notable example in Lot, 1who vndoubtedlye dranke not immoderately, to the end he would abuse his daughters, and to commit incest, but to put away cares and griefes which hee had taken, for the ouerthrow of the .v. Cities, for the losse of his deare wyfe, and also of his substaunce. Hee woulde also comforte hys Daughters, that they shoulde not take to muche thought, specially for the losse of their mother: although he ought to haue inuented other wayes of comforting. But this I speake onely, least any man shoulde thinke that he did with his will drinke to muche, to pollute him selfe with most fylthy lustes: Yet for all that, to muche aboundaunce of drinke was the cause of hys most vyle incest, being otherwyse an olde man, and in a tyme farre oute of purpose, for asmuche as the iudgementes of God were declared agaynste the fylthy lustes of the fyue Cities. And which is wonderfull, wyne so alienated Lot from hym selfe, that he vnderstoode not with what women hee had companyed. Wherfore rightly sayth Seneca in his .84. Epistle before alledged:
