The Great Sins of DRUNKENESS and GLUTTONY set forth in the proper Colours. And by Scripture sentences and pious Meditations briefly confirmed.  

A drunkards' PICTURE and his doom by Scripture A BELLY-GOD. Phil. 3. 19 Sodom's SINN'S pride fullness of bread and idleness. Ezek. 16. 49   allegorical depiction of Drunkenness and Gluttony woe unto them that are mighty to drink Wine and to mingle strong drink Isa .5. awake ye drunkards Joel .2.5 fools make a mock at sin. pro .14.1 The drunkard shall come to poverty and be clothed with rags. pro .23 woe to him that giveth his neighbour drink to make him drunk Hab: 2.10 Be not amongst riotous eaters of flesh, the glutton shall come to poverty pro: 23.20.22 They were as fed horses. Jer .5.8 And fill themselves and wax fat Deu: 31. They are enclosed in their own fat. ps .17.10 Their eyes stand ourwith fatness. ps .73.7. soul eat drink, Thou fool Luk .12.19.20  

WHy do I quaff  
Much more than nature can?  
The loss is mine:  
I justly may be termed  
A beast, not man.   

To drown my Reason  
In a cup of Wine,  
Yea, ten fold worse:  
A monster made at least.  
God made me man,  
I make myself a beast.   

And must I die?  
Why surfeit I on pleasure?  
Must I needs die?  
Why swim I in delight?  
Must I needs die?  
Why live I not aright?  
Must I needs die?  
Why live I then in sin?  
Thrice better for me  
I had never been.   

PRepare by dying still,  
Lest of bliss  
When time shall be no more  
Sadly thou miss.  
For in Christ's School  
This Paradox learn I;  
Who dies before he dies,  
Shall never die.   

If I must die,  
Than after must begin  
The life of joy or  
Torment without end:  
The life of torment  
Purchased is by sin;  
Then now amend:   

Why wilt thou swear,  
Curse, lust, and lie?  
Think'st thou on this,  
That all must die?   

The Conclusion.  

Repent therefore whilst breath doth last  
For after death repentance's past.  
And he that hopes to live for aye,  
Must leave sin, and repent each day.
