One come from the dead, to awaken drunkards and whoremongers being a sober and severe testimony against the sins and the sinners, in an exact description of the nature and danger of these two soul-destroying evils : together with proper and sovereign remedies / by Richard Garbut ... ; with epistles to the reader, by Mr. R. Baxter, and Mr. William Jenkins.	1675		.xml	application/xml	45288	1184	65	Does not the Scripture make him to be in any thing as bad , ( ●…y worse too ) that takes pleasure in others that d●…e a sin , than him th●…t do●…s the 〈◊〉 himself ? They do n●…t onely do such 〈◊〉 , b●…t take pleasure in them th●…t do th●…m . We use to say of a Drunkard in drink , that he is well bit ; and it is true indeed , he is Serpent-bit , he is b●…t with that biting that bites wealth out of his Purse , for the Drunkard and the Glut●…on shall come to poverty , Proverbs 23. 21. Which bites Health out of his body , for who within a while have commonly less Health , than they that still are drinking Healths ? Which bites Wit and naturall Parts out of the Head ; For Wine is a mocker , and whoever is deceived thereby sh●…ll not be wise , Prov. 20. 1. Which bites Grace and Gods Spirit out of the heart ; Be not drunk with Wine but be filled with the Spirit , Eph. 5. 18. To be filled with the Spirit of wine and with the Holy Spirit are made opposites , & such as cannot stand together ; he is therefore bit indeed , Serpent-bit in this manner as you have heard ; and therefore what holdest thou in thy hand , thou Drunkard , what holdest thou in thy hand ? Is not the Glass often-times thou drinkest in born up with a couple , and sometimes with a cluster of Snakes or Serpents ?
