To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
None so Jirm, that more resolute have not been corrupted here. None so strongs that stronger have not been slaughtered here. This is the road to death, ^' Enter not into the path of the wicked^ and go not in the Digitized by Google 9 yoay of evil men. Avoid it. Pass not by it. Turn from it; and pass away.** To think of chaining strong drink with reason or resolves^ is like thinking to subdue the heaving sea with fetters, or to fight against the whinwind with the bayonet. Reason and resolves are... weapons that bear no relation to the enemy with which you would have them combat. You cannot reason disease from the stomach, nor resolve the effects of alcohol from the brain. No man, who uses strong drink at all, can reasonably hope for safety, unless he have an assu- rance of it by a special revelation from heaven. Ten hundred thou- sand factd have proved, that, in this matter, ^' he that trusteth in his own h^art is a fool.*' I am willing, however, to waive this argument for the present, and to reason on the supposition, that eveir one who hears me may drrnk moderately without danger to himself.
