( 161 ) 
XF ever yon should be tempted by gluttony, remember how poor and 
-i- hungry Lazarus was, who desired to feed on the crumbs that fell from 
the rich man’s table, and could not get them ;* yet he was carried, after 
his death, by angels into Abraham’s bosom; whereas the rich glutton, who 
teas clothed in purple, was buried in hell. 
For it is impossible that hunger and gluttony, pleasure and temper¬ 
ance, should meet with the same desert in the end; when once death comes, 
pleasures will he punished ivith miseries, and miseries rewarded with 
pleasures. 
What advantage have you reaped by all your former excesses in eat¬ 
ing and drinking? 
All you have got is the remorse of conscience, which will, perhaps, 
sting and gall you for Eternity. 
What Milton says, is but too true, 
“Some, as thou sawest, by violent stroke shall die. 
By fire, flood, famine, by intemperance more, 
In meats and drinks, which on the earth shall bring 
Diseases dire; of which a monstrous crew 
Before thee shall appear.”
