Two broad-sides against tobacco the first given by King James of famous memory, his Counterblast to tobacco : the second transcribed out of that learned physician Dr. Everard Maynwaringe, his Treatise of the scurvy : to which is added, serious cautions against excess in drinking, taken out of another work of the same author, his Preservation of health and prolongation of life : with a short collection, out of Dr. George Thompson's treatise of Bloud, against smoking tobacco : also many examples of God's severe judgments upon notorious drunkards, who have died suddenly, in a sermon preached by Mr. Samuel Ward : concluding with two poems against tobacco and coffee / corrected and published, as very proper for this age, by J.H.	1672.0		.xml	application/xml	29706	728	54	Gentle Readers , HEre is presented to you a Brief , Learned , and a very seasonable Treatise for the Age we live in : It was many years since Penned by King James of happy and blessed Memory , Entituled , A Counterblast to Tobacco ; It it here verbatim , faithfully transcribed out of the large and learned Volume of His other Works in Folio , which are rare and scarce to be had for money , and of too great a price for the common sort of Tobacco-smokers to purchase : It is granted , the thing may be good , and Physical , and healthful , being moderately and but seldom taken ; but for men to take ten or twenty Pipes in a day in all Companies , Morning , Noon and Night , before and presently after Meals ; this is a strange way of taking Physick . Whereas if men were so wise for their own good , both in Body , Soul , and Estate , as to handle a good Book , either of Divinity , or of Morality , half so often as they do the Pipe of smoke , it would be better for them in all respects , more precious time and money would be saved .	cache/A70365.xml	txt/A70365.txt
