THe intemperate man now sucks the grape of Orleance,* 1.1 anon that hotter fruit of the Canaries, then he is taken with the pleasant moisture of the Rhenish plants, sometimes the juice of the pressed apples and pears delights him, which he
warmeth with the Irish Usquebath;* 1.2 and then quencheth all with the liquor made of English barley. Thus, a man not well principled in his Religion, is unstable in all his waies, he reeles like a drunkard from place to place; he hath put so much intoxicating scrupulosity into his head, that he cannot stand on his legs: A drun∣kard indeed, not so much for excesse, as change of liquors; for his soul doth affect variety of Doctrines, more than the intemperate body doth variety of drinks: He takes in a draught of Religion from every Country, so much of Anabaptism, as may make him a rebell; so much of that loving Family, as may make him an adul∣terer; so much of Rome, as may make him a traitor; so much of Arrianism, as may make him a blaspheamer: Onely he will stand to nothing, as the drunkard can stand at nothing: He knowes what he hath been, he knowes not what he will be, nay, he knowes not what he is.
