DRINKS.
you
who
cannot
drink
two
measures
of
wine
without
feeHngany
ill
effects
therefrom
;
he,
however,
who
with
his
third
or
fourth
measure
has
so
far
forgotten
him-
self
as
to
abuse,
beat
and
kick
his
wife
and
children,
and
to
treat
his
dearest
friend as
his
worst
enemy,
let
such
an
one
discontinue
to
drink
three
or
four
mea-
sures,
which
thus
render
him
unpleasing
to
God
and
despicable
to
man. But
he
who
with
the
fourth
mea-
sure,
nay,
with
his
fifth
or
his
sixth,
still
maintains
his
sense
in
such
a
manner
that
he
can
behave
properly
to
his
fellow-
Christian,
attend
to
his
domestic
duties,
and
obey
his
spiritual
superiors
as
he
ought,
let
him
be
thankful
in
modesty
for
the
gift
accorded
to
him.
But
let
him
not
advance
beyond
the
sixth
measure,
for
here
commonly
is
the
term
set
to
human
power*
and
endurance.
Rare
indeed
is
the
occasion
in
which
the
benevolent
God
has
lent
a
man
such
especial
grace
that
he
may
drink
eight
measures
—
a
grace
which
He
has,
however, accorded
to
me
His
servant.
Let,
therefore,
every
one
take
only
his
allotted
measure

The

Greece

commonly
imperfect*
Most
of
its
wines
become
vinegar
in
summer.
Avoid,
says
a
well-known
guide-book,
the
wine
of
this

which
is
generally
acid
and
always
impure.^
