     summary: Oft to a Tavern have I known go in , A knot of Friends to drink a Glass of Wine , In Love and Unity they all sit down , Now doubly welcome to each other grown ; To each Man's Health the Glass goes briskly round , And nought but Mirth and Jollity is found ; But when one Bottle ushers in another , And this Half Flask brings in his younger Brother : A Scene quite different appears , For now with Wine inflam'd each petty Jar , Will 'mongst these Friends create a Civil War ; Wine spilt by accident , an Health forgot , Or a Glass fill'd too full upon the Spot , Can set 'em altogether by the Ears ; Rascal , and Rogue , are words they use by turns , And each with Wine and Fury doubly burns ; Which , if too high wound up , perhaps proceeds , To throwing Bottles at each others Heads ; Then Swords from Scabbards are lugg'd out . But our bold Sons of Bacchus , here , Do in their practice openly appear ; Who , on you , when they force the Glass , or Cup , Pale Poyson , in Disguise of Wine you sup ; Yet think not Poyson from the Grape they press ; No , Wine 's a Cordial , till by lewd Excess , It does its kind refreshing Nature lose , And Death lies lurking in the noble Juyce : And can that Man be then my Friend , Who , because , Mithridates-like , He Poysons can digest ( for Wine 's no less , When swallow'd to a vast Excess ) Will unto me the fatal Draught commend .

     summary: 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 ? Let the Serpent on the out-side put thee in mind of the Serpent within ; the Serpents without are toothless Serpents , and cannot bite ; but the Serpent within is a toothed , and a venom-toothed Serpent , bites , and bites deadly , deriving poyson to the state of thy Wealth , to the state of thy Health , to the s●…ate of thy Naturals , impairing Wit and Endowments Natural ; and to the state most of all of thy supernat●…rals , leaving thy heart as empty of grace as thou the Cup of Liquor , or at most but some very snusss in it .
