You see a tipler, or a drunkard. The sin is so common you mind it not. You do not see the end of it; his family and his affairs are neglected; God and religion, and his soul, are the least of his thoughts or concern; he grows sottish and thoughtless, contracts distempers, and dies hard, or in despair.
Manx[gv]
