  A dehortation from all sinne, but particularly the sinne of drinking. By George Freman sonne to Sr Raphe Freman master of requests

summary:
  These are the entrances of Hell into thy soul , upon the withdrawings of God and spirituall consolations ; without which the soul languisheth , as the body fainteth upon a decay of the animall , or vitall spirits : this must thou look for after the continuance in any known , and presumptuous sin , but if thou find it not , thy condition is dangerous , for the obduration , or hardening of the heart is the threshold of Hell : look quickly then and seriously into thy soul ; labour to get a sight of thy sins in the Book of Conscience , whiles they may be blotted out ; pray earnestly to God for a true sense of them , ( for prayer is the Key of Heaven ; ) consider often of Death , Judgement , Heaven , and Hell ; think how odious the sin of ingratitude is between man and man , and that unthankfulness for the Blood of Christ is the highest of that kinde : think of the shortness of mans life , and the great business is to be done in that little life : that thy short life is posting to an end ; O the folly , and madness of sin ! it is a continuall acting against reason , a treasuring up of wrath with the God of all power , a providing for the society of Devils , and damned souls , who will be cursing their Maker , and one another to all eternity ; 't is that which only is dishonourable to man , a disturbance to Commonwealths ; it is the satisfaction of Devils ( if they could have any , ) the trouble of Angels , and blessed souls , nay the grieving of the holy Ghost , and the continuall murthering of the Son of God. Now although many men that drink not , may , and do often these things , and far worse ; yet drink betrays them more easily to vanities , and idle pastimes : therefore be carefull to avoid this degree of drinking , and thou wilt then be secure from the scandalous sin of visible drunkenness , which is the beastly consummation of the former : I do not speak this to perswade men from society , and chearfulness ; as if Religion , and mirth were things inconsistent ; since I know that true mirth is found no where else : but we do for the most part mistake mirth the most of any thing : accounting that it consists in laughter only ; whereas properly a man may be most truly merry when he laugheth least : for none laugh more than Ideots , and men of weak understanding , and sensualists ; while men advanc'd in knowledge , and quieted in mind , by serious and due reflections on themselves , do it but seldome : but none will deny but the latter sort , have the greater cause for mirth , and consequently must needs be more truly merry ; for true mirth is a complacency of the mind , arising from the apprehension of our personall happiness ; yet while we are in the body , laughter is naturall , and if it be kept within its bounds , and plac't upon right subjects , is both allowable , and conducing to health ; but is not tyed to the Glass , or Bowl : This caution against drinking , concerns those chiefly whose bodies require strong drinks in some small proportion , ( for none do much ) since those who are of another temperament , will abstain without any mans counsell , or any vertue of their own , which is only seen where there are propensities to the contrary ; though some men of this sort may contract habits to themselves , contrary to the first requisites of nature .

summary:
  Sicknes , that is a concomitant of this vice ; It is an excellent saying of Chrysostome , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 &c. water doth not so dissolve the earth , as pouring in wine consumeth the body , breeding innumerable diseases in all the regions of mans body in the Animalls , Vitalls , and Naturalls : hence come Lethargies , Apoplexies , Palsies , Catarrhes , Dropsies , Fevers , Consumptions , and many more the Harbingers of death . Now , to drinke wine is not unlawfull ; for every creature is good , if it be received with thankesgiving ; and wine moderately taken , saith Solomon , makes glad the heart , and therefore he would have it given to them that were of heavy hearts ; 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , It is not the use of wine , but the abuse that is forbidden , as Chrysostome observes : for there was drunkennesse before the vertue of the grape was knowne to Noah ; and surely , if to drinke wine had been unlawfull , our Saviour would never have turned water into wine at the marriage Feast ; especially , he would never have instituted it as a memoriall of his Blood-shedding :

  God sometimes practising Marshall law and doing present execution , lest fooles shall say in their heart , there were no God or Iudgement : but conniuing and deferring the most , that men might expect a Iudge comming , and a solemne day of Iudgement to come . But thankes bee to God , who hath reserued many thousands of men , and without all comparison more wittie and valorous , then such Pot-wits , and Spirits of the Buttery , who neuer bared their knees to drinke health , nor euen needed to whet their wits with wine , or arme their courage with Pot - 〈◊〉 .

title:
  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.

summary:
  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 .
