The
Preface
.
THAT
MY
MEAnyng
and
ordre
wherein
I
purpose
in
this
lytle
Booke
to
procéede
,
may
bée
to
the
Readers
the
better
notified
:
I
thinke
it
not
amisse
,
nor
impertinent
to
our
matter
,
first
briefly
to
declare
,
how
that
the
indications
or
tokens
vsed
in
the
ordre
of
Phisicke
,
are
namely
taken
and
learned
out
of
foure
principall
poynctes
:
either
of
the
nature
of
health
,
and
the
causes
thereof
,
or
of
a
sounde
and
healthie
body
:
or
of
the
nature
of
Sickenesse
and
the
causes
thereof
,
and
the
bodie
that
is
discrased
:
or
els
of
the
meane
and
Neutral
body
,
that
is
neither
perfectly
whole
,
nor
throughly
sicke
,
or
of
certayne
thinges
common
to
all
men
.
Such
indications
and
tokens
as
doo
procéede
of
the
nature
of
healthe
,
and
of
those
bodies
that
are
sounde
,
haue
one
common
or
general
indication
,
notwithstandyng
bipartite
&
deuided
into
two
partes
,
that
is
to
witte
,
Conseruation
,
and
Preseruation
.
Conseruation
,
when
the
bodie
is
of
it self
perfitly
sounde
(
as
seldome
is
to
bée
séene
)
but
Preseruation
is
,
when
the
bodie
beginneth
to
bée
enfeebled
and
like
to
fall
into
some
infirmitie
.
And
these
two
Indications
and
common
medicines
appertayne
to
vs
in
this
present
worke
to
bée
discussed
.
For
sithens
Conseruation
and
Preseruation
belonge
either
to
the
Gymnasticer
or
els
to
the
Phisition
,
and
Gymnasticke
Arte
,
which
is
the
trade
of
exercising
men
in
feates
of
Actiuitie
,
is
in
these
our
daies
antiquate
and
growen
out
of
vse
,
therefore
they
do
onely
appertaine
to
the
Phisicion
,
as
Galene
,
not
only
in
one
little
seuerall
boke
of
this
same
Argument
,
but
also
in
others
of
his
workes
plainly
affirmeth
.
The
other
Indications
gathered
of
the
nature
of
the
disease
and
the
causes
therof
,
and
the
bodie
distempered
and
diseased
(
which
are
thinges
against
Nature
,
whose
generall
and
common
Indication
is
Correction
and
Ablation
)
belong
to
the
Phisicion
,
whose
office
is
to
cure
diseases
.
But
the
Indications
of
the
Neutrall
or
meane
estate
betwene
health
and
sicknes
,
the
causes
of
thinges
not
naturall
,
do
shew
,
so
that
somtime
Conseruation
and
somtime
Ablation
therein
must
be
vsed
.
And
the
causes
not
naturall
are
these
:
Ayre
,
meate
and
drinke
,
moouinge
and
reste
,
Emptinesse
and
Repletion
,
Sleape
and
watch
and
the
affections
of
the
minde
:
wherunto
are
added
the
Age
,
Temperature
,
Custome
,
Arte
,
and
the
proper
nature
of
euerie
seuerall
person
.
And
they
be
called
meane
,
because
they
do
somtimes
the
office
of
Conseruation
and
somtimes
of
Ablation
.
Ablation
when
(
for
example
)
the
Ayre
is
hurtfull
to
sicknesse
:
For
it
is
either
altered
with
contraries
:
or
else
cleane
chaunged
:
if
it
be
holesome
and
profitable
,
we
do
conserue
it
with
his
like
,
and
thus
do
we
in
conseruing
them
that
be
whole
.
These
Indications
are
called
commune
,
because
aswell
the
Conseruer
or
the
Preseruer
of
health
,
as
also
the
Curer
of
diseases
vseth
them
.
I
therefore
meaning
to
entreate
vppon
these
two
poinctes
of
Conseruation
and
Preseruation
,
will
follow
Hippocrates
his
order
in
the
discourse
of
those
fiue
thinges
,
which
are
also
auouched
by
Galene
,
in
diuerse
of
his
workes
and
namely
in
his
second
boke
,
De
Tuen
.
Sanit
.
And
these
be
they
:
Laboure
or
excercise
,
Meate
,
Drinke
,
Sleepe
,
and
the
acte
of
carnall
copulation
.
These
beinge
orderly
,
conueniently
,
and
competently
vsed
,
haue
great
power
and
efficacie
to
kepe
a
man
in
health
,
and
in
them
chiefely
(
as
these
two
Graunde
Capitaines
and
Auncient
fathers
of
Phisicks
doe
affirme
)
consisteth
the
whole
poyse
and
cause
of
healthinesse
.
Vnto
these
fiue
,
(
through
God
his
assistaunce
)
I
entend
to
annexe
a
Surplusage
and
addicion
of
other
thinges
not
naturall
and
suche
as
seeme
néedefulll
and
expedient
hereunto
.
Let
vs
therefore
begin
with
the
first
whiche
is
Exercise
,
with
humble
praier
to
Almightie
God
,
to
further
our
attemptes
,
for
his
deare
sonnes
sake
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
.
But
this
by
the
way
must
we
admonish
the
Readers
,
that
for
asmuch
as
the
natures
and
complexions
of
men
be
diuers
,
they
also
require
a
diuerse
trade
and
order
in
diete
and
exercise
.
And
therefore
sayth
detuend
sa
.
Galene
,
euen
as
a
shoomaker
cannot
make
one
shooe
to
serue
euery
mannes
foote
,
so
neither
can
a
Phisicion
describe
and
appoint
any
one
generall
order
and
dietarie
for
all
maner
of
persons
.
For
there
be
some
,
whiche
if
they
should
refraine
exercise
&
intermit
their
wonted
Agitation
but
thrée
daies
,
would
straitwayes
be
sicke
:
againe
,
there
be
other
some
,
which
geue
themselues
altogether
to
ease
and
rest
,
and
yet
be
healthfull
and
lustie
,
and
in
other
thinges
,
is
like
diuersitie
to
be
found
.
Now
,
whereas
there
is
both
diuersitie
in
bodies
,
and
also
diuerse
trades
of
liuinge
,
it
cannot
be
that
any
one
absolute
way
should
be
appoincted
to
serue
euerie
nature
in
euerie
facultie
generally
.
And
therfore
to
write
a
speciall
dietary
for
such
as
either
because
they
be
Seruitours
and
must
geue
their
attendaunce
on
there
maisters
and
other
charge
wherby
they
may
not
,
or
for
such
as
be
continually
so
encombred
with
other
affaires
wherby
they
cannot
obserue
any
precise
diet
,
it
were
but
a
thinge
vaine
and
superfluous
.
For
their
sakes
therefore
that
liue
of
them selues
freely
and
are
not
enthralled
or
mancipated
to
the
inconueniences
abouesaide
,
we
haue
compiled
this
treatise
,
how
and
in
what
sorte
they
may
liue
a
long
life
in
prosperous
health
and
welfare
.
Furthermore
that
which
in
euerie
kinde
is
simple
and
faultlesse
ought
alwaies
to
be
preferred
before
all
others
.
And
in
bodies
that
same
is
called
simple
and
faultelesse
,
which
is
in
a
very
good
plight
&
likinge
:
but
in
the
trade
of
life
,
that
is
to
be
accompted
best
,
which
is
free
and
not
in
subiection
.
For
it
behooueth
that
such
a
one
as
would
liue
longe
and
neuer
be
attached
with
any
Sicknes
,
should
be
exempt
and
frée
from
all
turmoiling
troubles
and
publique
affaires
in
the
Common
wealth
,
liuinge
onely
to
himselfe
,
cherishinge
his
body
and
tendringe
his
health
.
For
there
is
no
meanes
to
make
that
immortall
,
which
naturally
was
begotten
&
created
mortall
,
but
to
make
the
same
to
be
of
longe
life
and
continuance
,
may
be
done
and
brought
to
passe
.
Galene
saieth
,
that
if
he
which
hath
his
bodye
in
good
likinge
and
temperature
doe
not
intermeddle
with
the
laborious
cares
of
worldly
busines
,
but
geeue
himselfe
onely
to
quietnesse
and
tender
regarde
of
his
owne
health
shall
not
at
all
(
as
farre
as
is
possible
)
be
arrested
and
vexed
with
any
maladie
,
neither
be
preuented
with
death
vntill
he
haue
liued
a
merueilous
long
age
.
But
who
is
he
not
onely
among
vs
Christians
,
but
euen
among
Paymms
and
Epicures
,
so
blockishe
and
insensate
,
to
thinke
that
he
is
borne
only
for
himselfe
and
for
his
osone
priuate
commoditie
without
hauing
any
respect
or
regarde
at
all
,
either
of
matter
or
person
in
the
societie
of
humaine
life
?
vnto
such
as
these
(
if
any
suche
be
)
we
doo
not
addresse
these
our
preceptes
,
but
vnto
those
which
at
such
times
as
they
haue
conuenient
leisure
to
surceasse
from
their
charges
and
offices
accordinge
as
theire
callinge
and
vocation
is
,
doo
measurably
and
for
healthes
sake
tender
their
bodies
to
th
intent
they
may
be
the
better
able
to
continue
about
their
néedefull
and
vrgent
businesse
,
and
not
to
addicte
themselues
to
voluptuousnes
and
bellychere
,
as
though
they
beleeued
there
were
non
other
life
but
only
this
fraile
and
transitorie
life
,
and
therfore
securely
to
wallow
in
their
disordered
and
lasciuious
appetites
,
tendryng
and
cockeryng
their
wanton
Carkases
,
for
whose
toothe
and
appetite
Galen
hath
fully
written
their
desired
diet
in
his
sixe
Bookes
,
De
tuend
.
Sanitate
.
Where
he
doth
so
copiously
and
so
exquisitely
depaynt
out
the
Arte
,
that
I
suppose
a
man
shall
vnethe
finde
any
amonge
a
great
many
of
Princes
&
Potentates
(
who
liue
fréely
without
checke
at
their
owne
pleasure
and
ease
)
that
doth
obserue
all
his
precepts
in
those
bookes
mencioned
.
That
whiche
here
wée
write
shall
bée
good
and
auayleable
in
maner
to
all
Ages
(
Childehoode
and
extreame
Oldeage
excepted
)
wherin
my
counsayle
is
to
all
men
,
that
what
euery
man
shall
finde
,
and

prooue
best
to
agrée

the

Of
Exercise
and
Labour
.
BEcause
a
greate
part
of
Healthinesse
consisteth
in
a
conuenient
and
oportune
exercise
of
the
Body
,
as
Auicen
and
before
him
Hippocrates
and
Galen
affyrme
,
néedefull
it
is
to
haue
a
diligent
eye
and
consideration
therevnto
.
It
is
commended
for
many
speciall
causes
,
De

.
other
learned
Phisicions
,
and
namely
in
a
seuerall
booke
penned
and
published
by
that
famous
and
excellent
Grayehead
Antonius
Fumanellus
of
Verona
.
Thou
shalt
therefore
(
Gentle
Reader
)
with
al
thy
deuoyre
and
diligence
,
so
vse
thy selfe
,
that
thou
mayest
passe
ouer
and
lead
this
flourishing
time
of
thine
age
by
thine
owne
wisedome
and
our
holesome
counsaile
in
health
and
welfare
,
to
the
glory
of
god
and
the
profit
of
thy
neighboure
,
for
this
age
of
Consistence
is
the
very
flowre
and
prime
of
a
mans
life
.
And
by
this
meanes
shalt
thou
so
doo
,
if
thou
géeue
diligent
eare
to
the
sounde
counsayles
of
approoued
Phisicions
,
by
mée
in
this
litle
Booke
breefely
noted
,
the
chiefest
whereof
is
Exercise
.
And
therefore
Galen
playnly
writeth
that
all
such
of
his
fréendes
as
tooke
diligent
and
speciall
regarde
to
Exercise
were
neuer
sicke
.
But
because
not
euery
kinde
of
Exercise
,
nor
euery
time
and
hower
is
conuenient
and
méete
for
it
,
therefore
will
I
declare
bothe
the
time
when
it
should
be
vsed
,
and
also
the
particuler
kindes
thereof
.
Then
is
it
a
fit
time
(
saieth
Auicenna
)
to
exercise
the
bodie
when
there
be
no
ill
humours
in
the

chafe
himselfe
before
his
meale
:
and
therfore
I
thinke
it
very
vnholsome
immediatetly
after
meate
to
vse
exercise
,
because
the
vehement
accidentes
of
the
mind
and
the
stronge
mocions
of
the
bodie
do
hinder
digestion
and
cause
Putrefaction
,
but
an
easie
and
soft
walking
,
that
the
meate
may
the
better
and
the
sooner
descend
to
the
lowest
part
of
the
Stomake
where
the
same
is
better
concocted
)
is
not
to
bee
misliked
but
is
thought
to
be
very
holesome
and
expedient
.
Therefore
when
the
meate
is
passed
downe
from
the
Stomake
and
the
time
approcheth
eftsoones
to
eate
,
then
is
exercise
both
fit
and
profitable
.
In
Somer
,
about
the
Sunne
risinge
,
least
otherwise
the
bodie
shoulde
be
annoyed
with
a
double
heate
:
and
in
the
beginnyng
of
the
Sprynge
,
and
Autumne
aboute
twoo
howers
after
the
Sunne
rysing
,
that
the
coldenesse
of
the
mornynge
may
be
auoyded
.
For
as
the
heate
of
the
noone
time
of
the
day
is
hurtful
and
noysome
,
so
is
the
colde
of
the
mornyng
,
and
namely
in
Autumne
,
and
winter
to
be
eschewed
.
Notwithstandynge
a
man
may
exercise
himselfe
at
home
assone
as
he
ariseth
.
In
winter
Auicen
counselleth
vs
to
exercise
our selues
within
the
house
,
or
in
some
close
couert
place
,
about
noone
,
hauyng
the
ayre
a
litle
warmed
,
for
feare
least
colde
els
should
take
away
or
hinder
that
commoditie
that
exercise
bryngeth
:
For
nothynge
is
more
hurtful
to
the
vertue
Regitiue
then
cold
,
namely
if
it
be
much
,
and
at
suche
time
as
the
body
is
hoat
.
Now
wheras
there
be
sundrie
sortes
of
exercise
,
I
will
onely
recite
here
suche
as
I
know
to
be
best
and
most
agreable
for
them
,
vnto
whom
I
namely
haue
penned
and
written
this
compendie
.
And
first
to
beginne
with
walkynge
:
which
if
it
be
soft
,
and
not
fast
,
nor
apace
There
is
an
other
kinde
of
exercise
,
whereof
Galene
wrate
,
but
not
conuenient
There
is
an
other
kinde
of
pleasaunt
exercise
fittest
to
be
vsed
in
the
countrey
in
seasonable
and
tempestiuious
times
of
the
yeare
,
called
Riding
.
It
is
highlie
That
exercise
whiche
Auicen
teacheth
to
draw
and
bring
down
humours
from
the
head
to
the
lower
partes
of
the
body
is
very
profitable
and
to
be
done
in
this
sorte
folowyng
:
Tie
and
make
fast
But
the
bodie
must
be
very
well
purged
,
lest
when
the
superfluous
humours
be
drawen
downe
to
the
lower
partes
,
there
be
engendred
an
Abscesse
,
which
is
some
impostume
or
course
of
euill
humours
to
some
one
parte
of
the
body
.
As
for
wrestling
and
daunsing
,
which
be
accompted
amonge
vehement
exercises
(
because
they
be
nothyng
agréeable
and
sitting
for
a
sage
Magistrate
nor
for
a
serious
Student
)
I
haue
nothynge
to
say
:
but
this
by
the
way
I
may
not
omit
,
that
those
persons
which
féede
vpon
grosse
meates
,
and
suche
repast
as
bringeth
stronge
nourishment
,
may
vse
vehementer
exercise
and
stronger
ambulations
,
as
running
,
wrastling
,
hunting
,
quoytes
,
handeball
,
and
to
be
breife
all
suche
exercise
as
best
agréeth
with
theyr
nature
,
which
may
brynge
difficultie
in
fetchyng
the
breath
,
augment
heate
and
humecte
the
skynne
and
exteriour
parte
of
the
body
,
with
a
thin
subtile
sweate
.
For
quicke
and
nimble
exercise
maketh
the
body
leane
and
slendre
,
and
the
contrarie
maketh
it
grosse
and
thicke
:
much
exercise
drieth
the
bodie
,
but
meane
and
conuenable
maketh
it
fat
and
corpulent
.
Notwithstandyng
,
for
them
that
vse
a
slender
diet
and
spare
féedyng
,
a
shorter
ambulacion
and
smaller
walkynge
will
suffice
.
Now
,
there
be
some
whiche
be
of
a
very
hoat
temperature
&
complexion
which
ought
not
at
all
to
be
exercised
:
for
such
persons
,
a
moderate
walkyng
,
baynyng
or
a
gentle
Fricasie
and
rubbynge
Then
there
are
Fricasies
or
Rubinges
,
whiche
are
the
exercises
of
them
that
be
sickly
.
For
vnto
them
that
be
in
perfit
health
,
they
are
not
sufficient
,
as
Plato
most
elegantly
,
and
after
him
Galen
affirmeth
.
But
we
adiudge
and
thinke
them
to
be
very
good
both
to
mundefie
the
head
and
diuert
the
fumes
therof
to
the
vttermost
and
extreame
partes
,
and
also
to
open
the
pores
and
conduites
of
the
bodie
therby
to
extenuate
and
expell
subtill
humours
.
In
olde
time
,
men
vsed
fricasie
and
vnction
before
and
after
euerie
kind
of
exercise
:
before
,
to
the
end
that
the
passages
and
pores
of
the
bodie
beinge
opened
by
fricasie
,
the
humours
might
haue
more
easie
egresse
:
and
after
,
beecause
the
matter
,
which
did
exude
&
come
out
,
might
be
wiped
away
from
the
skin
,
and
that
which
remained
in
the
fleshe
,
might
be
extenued
and
dissolued
,
which
order
in
my
oppinion
is
not
to
be
misliked
.
And
therfore
my
counsaile
is
,
that
before
thou
arise
out
of
thy
bed
,
either
to
rubbe
or
els
to
make
some
bodie
els
to
rubbe
,
with
warme
hands
or
som
warme
linnen
clothes
,
thy
backe
,
breast
and
bealy
easely
&
softlie
,
and
thy
armes
and
legges
hardlie
and
stronglie
,
but
suche
partes
as
thou
canst
reache
and
come
vnto
,
vse
to
rubbe
thy selfe
.
For
this
fricasie
and
rubbinge
concocteth
crude
humours
,
and
also
nourisheth
and
comforteth
the
whole
bodie
.
And
if
thou
chaunce
to
sweate
,
cause
it
with
a
soft
rubbing
and
fricasie
to
be
wiped
of
Hippocrates
saith
that
hard
fricasie
doth
binde
and
consolidate
the
bodie
,
softe
doth
loose
and
mollifie
,
muche
doth
extenuate
and
diminishe
fleshe
,
meane
augmenteth
and
maketh
it
wax
bourlie
.
It
is
good
also
when
you
gee
to
bedde
if
your
head
be
heauie
or
payned
with
the
murre
or
reume
,
to
rubbe
and
wringe
hard
your
legges
and
handes
,
for
by
such
meanes
the
vapours
that
ascend
vpward
are
deriued
and
brought
downeward
.
Also
fricasie
and
rubbing
the
whole
body
in
the
eueninge
,
is
profitable
for
them
that
be
throughly
wearie
,
or
with
driues
to
much
molested
,
or
with
the
Atrophie
&
consumption
pined
and
troubled
:
which
being
done
,
there
should
ensue
an
oyntement
or
perfusion
of
temperate
oyle
(
if
the
auncient
and
laudable
custome
of
vnction
were
not
antiquated
and
growen
out
of
vse
as
many
other
good
thinges
are
)
for
it
helpeth
to
the
spéedines
and
velocitie
of
frication
,
it
looseth
and
suppleth
the
members
that
be
stiffe
and
indurate
and
it
comforteth
and
mollifieth
the
members
that
are
wearied
.
To
be
rowed
vppon
the
water
in
a
Lignum
Aloes
,
or
Gelouers
and
drie
Roses
,
their
vertue
is
a
greate
deale
the
more
to
helpe
the
brayne
and
comforte
the
sences
.
Certes
thou
shalt
féele
a
merueilous
effect
for
the
healthinesse
of
thy
head
if
thou
vse
this
ordre
of
fricasie
and
combyng
.
For
therby
naturall
heate
is
excited
and
stirred
vp
,
the
pores
are
opened
,
(
which
beyng
stopped
,
superfluous
matter
and
humours
are
retayned
and
consequently
the
brayne
payned
and
affected
)
but
beyng
opened
,
the
same
il
humours
and
fumes
are
propulsed
and
dispersed
,
and
the
brayne
is
made
sincere
,
stronge
and
healthfull
.
There
is
an
opinion
setled
in
the
heades
of
many
now
adaies
and
especiallie
amonge
the
common
sorte
,
that
it
is
not
good
for
the
head
to
be
wasshed
,
alledgynge
for
their
proofe
an
olde
sayinge
,
common
almost
in
euery
mans
mouthe
,
neuerthelesse
for
that
moste
parte
vntrue
,
which
is
this
:
Wash
thy
hands
often
,
thy
feete
seldome
,
but
thy
head
neuer
.
Vnto
whom
I
do
bréeifly
make
this
aunswere
,
that
such
persons
ought
namely
to
wash
their
heds
,
which
haue
a
moyst
brayne
,
or
suche
as
loue
to
haue
their
heare
grow
longe
,
because
the
inwarde
superfluities
whiche
nature
would
expell
,
cannot
haue
passage
to
euaporate
and
vente
out
,
but
be
retayned
still
,
by
reason
that
the
pores
be
stopped
with
filthe
that
lieth
at
the
rootes
of
the
heare
next
the
head
,
which
filthe
by
conuenient
and
orderly
wasshyng
is
taken
away
and
clensed
.
And
for
this
cause
Auicen
affyrmeth
that
it
is
not
good
to
suffre
the
heare
of
the
bead
and
beard
to
grow
longe
,
because
they
gather
and
retayne
muche
grosse
filthe
and
baggage
,
stoppyng
the
pores
about
the
rootes
,
if
they
be
not
wasshed
away
.
To
these
namely
,
and
to
all
others
generally
that
vse
wasshynge
,
Auenzoar
géeueth
in
charge
to
be
wasshed
with
warme
water
or
Lie
,
and
if
you
put
into
the
same
water
or
Lie
,
so
it
be
not
to
stronge
,
a
small
handfull
of
drie
Roses
,
and
Lignum

,
and
a
litle
Camomile
or

As
soone
as
the

is

,
it
muste
diligently
and
spéedely

with
warme
drie

,
and
well

vnto
,
that
it
catche

But
better
it
is
,
not
to
be
wasshed
at
all
,
especially
in

or
often
,
and
namely
for
suche
as
vse
to

but
the
Fricasies

be
vsed
,
because
(
beside
the
aforenamed
helps
that

)
they
merueilously
preserue
the

.
The

and

Furthermore

They
that
haue

and
corpulent

or
else
bée
replete
with
aboundance
of
humours
,
may
soone
take
harme
by
vsing
disorderlie
and
vnduelie
this
bayning
,
but
if
they
be
first
purged
and
ridde
from
them
they
may
vse
the
benefit
thereof
,
because
it
doth
humect
and
moisten
the
pores
and
passages
,
and
maketh
the
fumosities
too
bée
dispelled
and
sent
out
.
But
as
in
all
other
thinges
moderate
vse
is
alwaies
to
be
preferred
before
immoderate
,
euen
so
fareth
it
by
bayning
.
For
a
man
may
not
be
ouer
hastie
in
aduenturinge
to
vse
it
,
especiallie
if
the
partie
that
is
minded
to
be
bained
,
be
troubled
with
many
humours
gathered
throughe
continuall
cruditie
and
vndigestion
,
or
haue
not
longe
afore
enfarced
himselfe
with
plentie
of
meate
vnboyled
and
vncocted
in
the
stomake
,
whiche
crude
humours
being
within
the
bodie
(
by
reason
of
the
vehement
force
of
heate
)
cause
obstructions
.
In
very
colde
seasons
,
and
in
Sommer
time
they
shoulde
also
be
forborne
.
For
in
winter
the
humours
beinge
stirred
and
disquieted
and
a
cold
sodeinlie
succeding
,
they
are
driuen
to
som
necessarie
part
of
the
body
,
&
there
bréede
diseases
and
great
annoyaunce
.
And
aboute
midsomer
when
heate
chieflie
raigneth
and
of
itselfe
resorteth
to
the
exteriour
partes
,
Bayninge
doth
disperse
so
much
of
the
same
heate
as
is
yet
remaininng
,
&
by
that
meanes
much
weakeneth
the
inward
powers
.
And
vnlesse
the
age
and
place
of
man
séeme
otherwise
to
require
,
they
are
at
this
time
a
great
deale
more
to
be
eschewed
.
In
déede
no
man
doubteth
but
baines
vsed
at
due
and
seasonable
times
,
help
the
bodie
verie
much
(
for
nothinge
doth
so
well
concocte
and
driue
away
il
humours
&
corrupt
iuyce
as
sleepe
after
bayning
)
but
I
say
that
the
vse
therof
is
very
hurtfull
,
if
they
be
vsed
at
inconuenient
times
and
when
they
ought
chieflie
to
be
refrained
.
Now
as
concerninge
washing
in
colde
water
,
I
do
say
that
it
is
vtterly
to
be
forborne
of
all
such
as
are
not
therto
accustomed
,
as
being
more
hurtfull
then
profitable
,
vnlesse
vrgent
occasion
of
great
heate
and
lustie
youth
do
otherwise
seeme
to
craue
it
.
But
he
that
would
vse
it
,
must
be
slender
of
bodie
and
somwhat
of
a
colde
constitucion
,
for
it
is
apter
to
pearce
into
suche
colde
within
the
bodie
and
inner
partes
.
It
bringeth
al
the
humours
in
a
maner
to
one
place
of
the
bodie
and
maketh
the
sinewes
and
muscles
stiffe
and
numme
,
and
not
nimble
or
readie
to
mooue
,
yea
and
sometimes
it
bringeth
a
man
into
distemperaunce
and
passions
much
worse
then
these
,
if
it
be
not
verie
aduisedly
vsed
.
And
amonge
all
others
,
a
healthy
and
sound
bodie
so
long
as
it
is
in
growing
and
waxinge
,
must
not
be
washed
in
cold
water
,
least
his
groweth
and
waxing
be
thereby
rebuked
and
hindered
.
But
when
he
is
come
to
his
full
growthe
,
then
may
he
acquainte
himself
with
colde
bathes
,
because
the
bodie
is
therby
cooled
and
strengthened
,
and
the
skinne
made
harder
and
thicker
.
And
the
fittest
time
thereto
is
the
beginninge
of
Sommer
,
that
ere
winter
come
,
by
frequent
custome
,
it
may
not
turne
to
any
hurtfull
distemperaunce
of
the
bodie
,
and
let
it
beginne
in
a
verye
hoate
daye
the
place
where
it
is
vsed
beinge
likewise
hoate
.
Of
Meates
NOw
let
vs
say
somwhat
of
meate
and
drinke
.
And
herein
I
do
firste
géeue
the
to
vnderstand
,
that
it
is
best
and
holsomest
to
vse
meates
that
be
simple
.
For
simple
meate
by
good
reason
is
most
profitable
,
but
many
and
sundry
dishes
and
diuers
sortes
of
Viande
and
Cates
is
most
hurtfull
and
a
great
enemie
to
health
.
Our
predecessors
whiche
liued
very
long
without
Sicknes
were
wont
(
as
Galen
&
Auicen
affirme
)
to
eate
at
one
meale
fleshe
,
and
at
another
bread
onely
.
Yet
would
I
not
wishe
thée
to
accustome
thyself
to
one
onely
meate
specially
if
thou
be
in
youth
:
for
Galen
expounding
one
of
the
Aphorismes
of
Hippocrates
saieth
:
Such
thinges
as
we
haue
long
times
beene
vsed
vnto
,
yea
although
they
be
not
of
the
best
nourishing
meates
,
are
not
so
daungerous
and
hurtfull
as
other
thinges
are
which
in
deede
be
far
better
,
wherunto
we
haue
not
be
accustomed
.
We
must
therefore
(
saieth
he
)
now
and
then
altre
our
diet
,
and
vse
to
eate
suche
meates
as
before
we
vsed
not
.
Neither
ought
we
to
bind
ourselues
to
any
one
kinde
,
least
if
we
should
(
perchaunce
)
be
driuen
at
any
time
to
change
that
custome
,
we
should
straightwaies
therupon
fall
sicke
.
And
Cornelius
Celsus
,
counsaileth
suche
as
be
in
health
,
to
vse
their
ordinarie
fare
and
plaine
vsuall
diet
.
But
to
eschue
&
forbeare
much
varietie
of
meates
is
vndoubtedly
bothe
better
and
wholesomer
,
because

It
is
thought
good

and

it

)
to

But
those

whiche
be
in

meane
or
mediocritie
of
all
excesse
are
most
commendable
.

nor

,
of
whom
heareafter
we

particulerly
speake

also
this
must

take
beede
that

I

maketh
it

)
as
in

séemeth
neither

For

the

because
they

of
which
sort
swéete
wine
is
one
of
the
chiefest
.
In

muche
that
Auerrois
(
althoughe

to
be
drawen

the
Liuer

as
it

But
the
drinkinge
of

being
subtile
and
cleare
and
speciallie
Whiche
if
it
be
endued
with
any
fumositie

Certes
euery
one
of
these
kinds
of

are
greatly
avayleable
to
them
that
therwith
be

For
it

expelleth

quickly
ripeth
the

wherewith
the

is
humected

and
maketh
the
ill
humours
to
descend
from
the

partes
to
the
lower

whereby
the
head
is
eased
and

But
in
drinkynge
of
Wine
,
there
must
be
no
lesse
consideration
had
of
the

times

to

the

But
I
am
of

I
thinke
it

to

good
reason

for
the

more

the

Egges
wooulde
be
eaten
before

because
they
are
quicklie
digested
and
soone
descend
from
the
mouth
of

Stomacke
,

nourish
very
quickly
.
For
they
haue
all
the
proprieties
that
belongeth
to
good
nourishment
,
&
are
soone
transmuted
into
bloud
,
and
leaue

finallye
they

by
the

they

in

iudgement
they

also
They

but
althoughe
suche
fattinesse
continueth
but
a

,
and
differeth
much
from
the
nourishement
that
bread
maketh
,
yet
they
géeue
greater
nourishement
and
are
of
more
strength
then
other
fruictes
.
And
because
figges
do
quicklie
descend
and
are
soone
distributed
into
euerye
parte
of
the
bodie
,
and
mundefie
and
scower
the
passage
and
way
whereby
the
meate
goeth
downe
,
therefore
they
are
best
to
be
eaten
before
other
meates
.
The
best
are
of
a
white
colour
,
redde
are
next
,
and
blacke
are
worst
as
Auicen
wryteth

And
they
haue
power
to
cleanse
the
grauell
being
in
the
Reines
of

Drye
fygges
sayeth
Galen
eaten
with
nuttes
,
are
an
excellent
meate
and
likewise
if
they
be
eaten
with
Almondes
,
for
so
,
they
open
obstructions
,
but
they
nourishe
not
so
well
neither
engender
they
so
good
bloude
and
iuyce
when
they
be

And
there
be
some
,
which
plainly
affirme
,
that
drye
figges
Raysons

Sunne
clense
the

and

very
holesome
Therefore
it
is
best
to
driue
them
out
of
the
bodie
as
quicklie
as
may
be
conueniently
,
whiche
by
this
way
and
meane
may
be
done
,
if
they
be
eaten
alone
with
out
any
other
meate
and
after
the
eating
of
them
to
walke
and
then
to
eate
somethinge
to
make
them
slipperie
and
descendible
.
And
he
sayeth
further
,
that
these
fruicts
being
new
are
good
for
none
but
them
which
are
exercised
&
much
troubled
with
redde
Choler
,
and
in
Sommer
season
,
and
géeueth
counsell
also
that
it
is
best
to
abstaine
from
them
because
they
make
watrishe
bublinge
bloude
whiche
will
soone
putrefie
.
Notwithstanding
by
reason
that
they
be
great
coolers
,
they
are
good
for
them
that
be
hoate
,
euen
the
verye
same
houre
that
they
be
eaten
,
because
they
be
colde
and
moyste
.
Yet
this
their
moysture
engendreth
putrefaction
and
corruption
and
likewise
maketh
the
bloude
full
of
rawe
and
crude
humiditie
,
as
the
gréene
Melon
which
is
commonly
called
Auguria
:
which

For
Abrecockes
being
moyst

,
are

sayeth
that

But
now
it
is
time
for
vs
to
entreate
of
some
suche
fruictes
as
maye
be

after

For

Sower

do
coole

cutte
a
sunder
the
congeled
humoures
in

.
The
harrishe

roughe
tasted
apples
do
confirme
the
stomacke
that
is
weake
by
distemperaunce
of
heate
or
muche
moysture
and
suppresse
the
bealy
but
yet
Quinces
for
that
purpose
more
then

But
in
goodnes
those
apples
excell
all
others
that
are
called
Regia

,
which
are
not
altogether
so
colde
,
and
are
thought
to
be
very
holesom
and
comfortatiue
to
the
harte
because
they
repell
and
driue
away
al
fuligiuous
moyste
vapours
which
trouble
the
harte
&
strike
vp
into
the
head
.
Finallie
when
the

throughe

,
they
haue
bene
found
right
commodious
to

but
they
be
thought
to
be
hurtefull
to
the
Sinewes
and
to
hebetate

dull
the
memorie
,
speciallie
if
they
be

But

are

Auicen
saieth
:
that
they
haue
a
singuler
power
against
the
noysomenesse
and
lothsomenesse
of
the
stomacke
and
do
corroborate
all
the
ventricles
:
whiche
may
plainlye
be
perceaued
by
the
somwhat
bitter
and
sower
qualitie
that
is
in
them
.
And
therefore
they
are
good
to
be
mixed
with
meates
,
as
well
for
nourishement
as
for
medicine
,
both
against
the
infartion
of
the
lieuer
,
and
also
to
strengthen
and
corroborate
aswell
the
stomacke

the

that

to
be
noted
(
for
we

woulde

bene
a

piece
of

)
now
let
vs
addresse
our selues
to
speake
of
some
other
poinctes
that
are
expedient
for
health
,
I
meane
suche
as
amonge
phisicions
are
reckened
in
the
number
of
thinges
not
naturall
.
And
firste
great
héede
and
care
must
be
taken
,
that
thou
do
not
infarce
nor
pampre
thy selfe
with
any
maner
of
excesse
either
in
meate
or
drinke
:
but
to
take
of
euery
kind
of
meat
We
must
also
haue
an
eye
to
consider
the
qualities
and
natures
of
meates
:
as
if
they
be
suche
that
géeue
stronge
nourishement
to
the
body
,
they
must
so
temperately
be
eaten
,
that
we
maye
leaue
a
pretie
while
before
our
appetite
be
filled
.
But
of
those
meates
which
nourishe
but
lightlye
and
smallie
,
wée
maye
eate
more
largelye
.
For
the
one
requireth
good
space
ere
they
be
concocted
,
but
the
other
do
soone
descende
downe
into
the
bealie
.
In
drinke
we
must
vse
such
coniecture
and
quantitie
as
the

shall

And
that
kinde
of
eating
(
sayeth
Auicen
)
is
worste
,
that
maketh
the
stomack
heauie
:
and
that
drinkinge
is
most
vituperable
,
which
passeth
the
boundes
of
temperaunce
and
swimmeth
in
the
the
stomacke
.
Therefore
that
the
meate
maye
be
the
better
concocted
and
the
more
conuenientlye
distributed
into
all
the
partes
of
the
body
,

EVen
as
to
muche
repletion
and
gurmandize
is
most
hurtefull
and
pernicious
:
so
is
to
muche
hunger
and
abstinence
most
noyfull
and
dangerous
.
For
excesse
and
defect
(
that
is
to
saye
superfluitie
and
wante
or
to
muche
and
too
litle
)
engender
and
cause
(
as
the
phisicions
affirme
)
manye
maladies
and
diseases
.
But
here
to
enter
into
a
disputacion
whether
of
these
is
worse
,
neither
place
nor
time
will
permitte
,
because
our
purpose
is
to
wryte
a
compendious
Dietary
for
health
,
and
not
phisicall
quiddities
.
Therefore
in
any
wise
refraine
to
much
abstinence
,
because
it
bringeth
great
annoyance
to
the
whole
bodie
,
and
chieflie
The
whole
bodie
is
thereby
harmed
,
because
by
to
muche
abstinence
and
hunger
his
moysture
is
withdrawen
and
diminished
,
&
consequentlie
it
is
debilitated
and
made
leane
,
and
naturall
heate
is
to
muche
incended
,
insomuche
that
not
findinge
humour
to
worke
on
,
it
tourneth
his
violence
and
power
to
the
radicall
and
substantiall
humour
,
and
exhaustinge
that
moysture
,
bringeth
the
bodie
into
a
consumption
.
The
stomacke
is
thereby
annoyed
,
because
beside
the
common
discomoditie
and
hurt
done
to
the
whole
bodie
,
it
is
also
replete
with
rotten
and
putrefied
humours
.
Therefore
at
conuenient
and
ordinarie
howers
and
when

serueth
(
whiche
may
be
knowen

the
