GOD hath given to the Sons of Men, in respect of Sensual Things, Objects, not only for Necessity, but Delight; But here is their Misery, as well as their Sin, That they rest not in what GOD Lawfully allows.— And hence it is, that the GOD of Mercy Curses, and that most Justly, HIS own Blessings, unto that Man that thus Perverts the Use of them. Wine Rejoyceth the Heart of Man, as it was given for that end, but when a Man in the Use of it looks no higher, but to Satiate himself, there is a Sting put into it, and t proves a Serpent. Pro. 23.32.
Some necessary and important considerations (to be consider'd of by all sorts of people) taken out of (that late worthy and renowned judge) Sir Matthew Hale's writings, and therein his own experience of the inward and invisible guidance of the spirit of God.
