prove an excellent antifcorbutick. The inventor is very fen-, fible that this water, though to so great a degree panned, may ferment in long sea voyages, in passing the line particu larly, but he is certain no putrefaction will ensue, neither will it be at all injured. It must be put into new calks, which mull not be quite filled; but what is Hill more sur prising than any thing I have told you, is, the inventor will difeover his secret on very reasonable terms. An extempore Jermon, preached at the request of two fcbolars t (by a lover of ale) out of a hollow tree . Beloved, LET me crave your attention ; for I am a little man, dome at a fliort warning, to preach a brief sermon, upon a small fubjefl, to a thin congregation, in an unwor thy pulpit. And now, beloved, my text is MALT, which I cannot divide into (entences, because it is none; nor into words it being but one; nor into syllables, because (upon the whole matter) it is but a monosyllable: Therefore, I must, as ne cessity enforces me, divide it into letters, which I find in my text to be only these four, M, A, L, TANARUS, Malt. M (my beloved) is Moral. . A is Allegorall. L is Literal, and T is Theological. The moral is well set forth to teach you drunkards good manners; wherefore, M My inafters, A A)1 of you, L Listen, T To my text. The allegorical is, when one thing is spoken of, and ano ther thing is meant. Now the thing spoken of is bare MALT, 1 but the thing meant is strong beer, which you rufticks make M Meat, A Apparel, L Liberty, and T Treasure. The literal is according to the letter ; M Much, A Ale, L Little, T Thrift. Much Ale, Little Thrift. The theological is according to the effeCls which it works, which I find in my text to be of two kinds, i. In this world; 2. In the world to come. In this world the effeas which it works are, In fome, M, Murder, In others, A, Adultery : In fome, L, Loofnefs of life, In others, TANARUS, Treason. In the world to come. In fome, M, Misery, In others, A, Anguish: In fome, L, Languishing, In others, TANARUS, Tor ment. Wherefore my firft ufq (hall be exhortation. M, My mailers, A, All of you, L, Leave, TANARUS, Tippling. Or else, 2dly, by way of commination, I lay, M, My mailers, A, All of you, 1., Look for, I', Torment. So much for this time and text; only, by way of caution, take this; a drunkard is an annoyance of modesty, the trouble of civility, the spoil of wealth, the deftruttion of reason, the brewer’s agent, the alehouse’s benefaftor, the beggar’s companion, the conftabie’s trouble, his wife’s woe, his children’s sorrow, his neighbour’s feoff, hi:, own flame, a •wakmg-J'wilUtub, the picture of a beast, and the monfterof a man. Say well and Do-well end both with a letter, Say-well is good, but Do-well is better. AMERICA.. CHARLESTOWN. Dicimiu , 4 .
