is
to

as

of

:
this
drunkenneffe
is a
fruitfull
parent
of
wickedneffe. Ir

inundations
of

as in

they
bring often (tore

So
thefe do bring

the

till we

there
is

let
us
not
deceive our fclves
that
are haunted
in

way,
the
fpirit

and
Gods Spirit,
have no
agreement:
this
inordinate drinking
is
as

it
quencheth grace , nay
if

it
