Hell, a deſcription of it, and the laſt judgement, 458.461. good men draw all they can to Heaven, 440. wicked men all they can to Hell, ibid. none helpe to people Hell, like drunkards, 451. they would have our company in Hell 436. and why, 446. the covetous man can finde in his heart to go to Hell, ſo his ſonne may be left rich, 629.
Healths, a ſhoinghorne to all exceſſe, 309. they drinke others healths, their owne deaths, 323. of which many examples, and of the juſt judgement of God upon drunkards, 314. healths great in meaſure, or many in number, 310. if ſmall, the liquor is ſtronger, or the number more, 311. healths upon their knees, 313. not more forward to drinke healths, then zealous and carefull that other pledge the ſame 318. the riſe and originall of health drinking, 313.

LAw, and precept our-only rule, 210.

God wil not accept our dry bones when Sathan hath ſuck't out all the marrow. 586. the ſeveral wayes whereby God cals to repentance, 478. in a judgement, ſo many as repent, are ſingled out for mercy. 257 if any would repent of, and relinquiſh this ſin of drunkenneſſe, let them firſt lay to heart the things delivered 695. ſecondly, refraine the cauſes, ibid. thirdly, believe their ſtate dangerous, and that there is no way to helpe, but by a chang to the contrary, 696. fourthly, be peremptory in their reſolution, ibid. fifth…y, ſhame not to confeſſe their diſlike of it, in themſelves and others, 700. ſixthly fly evill company, 701. ſeventhly, take heed of delayes. 702. eightly, omit not to pray for divine aſſiſtance, ibid ninthly, be diligent in hearing, 703. tenthly, frequent in the uſe of the Lords Supper, ibid. eleventhly, meditate what God hath done for them, ibid. twelfthly, think on the union we have with Chriſt, ibid. thirteenthly, confider that God ever beholdsthem, 704. 14ly, often think of the day of judgement, ibid. fifteenthly, conſider the bainouſneſſe of this ſin, and the cvills which accompany it, 705. ſixteenthly, abſtaine from drunken company, 709. for all depends upon this: ſeventeenthly, abstaine from drinking-places, 710.

Drunkards not only ſin, but make others ſin too, 493. the Divell ſhewes the ſweet of ſin, but hides the bitter of puniſhment untill afterward, 734. cuſtome of ſinne, takes away the ſenſe of ſinne, 427.
Slander, Drunkards raiſe ſlanders of the godly, 358. of which ſeaven reaſons, 366. how apt men are to believe ſlanders of the godly, and to ſpread them, 360. what delight wicked men take in hearing evill of the good, 361. a ſlander once raiſed will ſcarce ever dye, 377. how they mitigate their owne ſhame, by ſlandering others, 368. and often prevaile againſt the good hereby, 370. the condition of a ſlanderer ſet out, 363. his ſinne and puniſhment, 378.
