A warning-piece to all drunkards and health-drinkers: faithfully collected from the works of English and foreign learned authors of good esteem, Mr. Samuel Ward and Mr. Samuel Clark, and others. With above one hundred and twenty sad and dreadful examples of Gods severe judgements upon notorious drunkards: twelve of the chiefest are graved in copper-plates, to deterr others from the like provoking sins, and healths with a huzza. To which is added His Majesties proclamation against vicious, debauched, prophane persons, and drinkers of his health. Also some caution of a learned doctor of physick, declaring how intemperate drinking destroyes our bodily health and strength
