We may ſay as once Alſted of his Germans, that if the Sabbath-day ſhould be named according to their obſerving of it, Demoniacus potiùs quam I) ominious diceretur, A[illegible: 1 letter]ſted. Encyl. it ſhould be called not Gods-day, but the devils.

Exceſſe of Wine] Or, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Red and rich faces, as they call them.

Revellings] Stinkes ſaith the Syriack: Drunkards are ſtinkards. [non-Latin text not transcribed].

Banquettings] Gr. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Compotations, or good-fellow-meetings: ſome render it, bibbings, ſippings, tiplings, ſitting long at it, though not to an alienation of the minde.
