Drunkenness is an old Court sin. See how the Prophet, Isa. Obs. 2, 28.1. fills his mouth, with woes and threatenings against the drunkenness of Ephraim; Woe to the Crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim. The Court, the Crown of Ephraim was at Samaria. A miserable thing it is that those which have the most opportunity for God should spend their time in such beastly vanities, and do to their bodies and souls as Richard the third1 to his brother, drown them in a Butt of Sack.

- 1Rich. 3d
Drunkards courses brings diseases. Be not amongst wine-bibbers, Obs. 3 amongst riotous eaters of flesh,1 for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; how many are there which carry about with them the marks of their lusts, as Paul carried about him the marks of the Lord Jesus; men will venture much for their lusts, but if Christ call them to suffer any thing for him, then they are tender and sickly, but let their estates, healths, and credits stand in the way to hinder them in the pursuance of their desires in sin, they will break through them all: now a shame is it for a Christian not to do more for God than these men will do for their lusts: Timothy is commanded to drink but a little wine, and that for his refreshment, to help nature; but when men drink & make sots of themselves by it, what diseases doth this bring men into?
