A
Warning
for
Tabcconists
.
The
first
Reason
.
TOuching
the
first
;
Where
no
method
or
order
is
vsed
,
ther
resteth
in
all
artes
and
other
actions
humaine
,
naught
else
but
dissolation
and
confusion
,
a
thing
,
as
in
the
Common
weale
it
is
pernicious
,
so
in
the
preseruation
of
mans
health
it
hath
been
alwaies
adiudged
most
dangerous
.
But
that
in
these
our
daies
,
in
this
land
of
England
,
this
new
come
simple
of
the
West
commonly
knowne
with
vs
by
the
name
of
Tabacco
:
is
without
all
method
and
order
of
most
men
receiued
,
may
be
apparant
by
this
,
that
it
is
taken
early
in
the
morning
,
and
also
very
late
at
night
:
in
the
morning
fasting
,
and
in
the
euening
feasting
and
on
a
full
stomacke
.
In
the
beginning
,
middle
,
and
ende
of
meales
.
To
be
short
,
at
all
times
,
at
all
houres
,
and
of
all
persons
,
this
Indian
stranger
most
familiarly
is
receiued
:
for
the
smoake
of
Tabacco
seemeth
to
the
fauorits
thereof
at
no
time
vnseasonable
.
Neither
that
it
ought
to
bee
tied
to
reasons
and
rules
(
being
perhaps
a
thing
in
it selfe
more
irregular
and
vnreasonable
)
seeing
that
by
experience
(
as
they
thinck
)
they
haue
found
great
good
&
profit
by
the
vse
therof
.
They
boast
much
of
this
their
experience
as
a
sufficient
ground
for
this
their
disorder
.
But
their
experience
not
grounded
on
reason
,
but
rather
repugnant
thereto
,
and
contrary
to
commonsence
also
,
is
a
motiue
sufficient
for
the
simple
,
but
no
way
an
argument
for
the
wiser
sort
,
to
daunce
after
their
vnsauory
and
vnpleasant
Tabacco
pipe
.
Galen
in
his
Comment
on
his
first
booke
of
Hippocrates
Aphorismes
:
For
as
Reason
without
Experience
is
very
vncertaine
:
For
Example
.
The
diet
conuenient
for
youth
,
is
no
waies
agreeable
to
old
age
:
neither
is
that
diet
which
is
appropriat
to
elder
yeeres
,
any
way
profitable
to
youthfull
and
growing
age
.
And
bodies
of
temper
dry
,
require
things
in
nature
and
qualitie
moist
.
But
moist
complections
and
maladies
growing
of
superfluities
of
humours
,
are
more
commonly
remedied
by
things
of
nature
drying
and
disiccatiue
.
Also
fasting
and
abstinence
for
meate
is
assigned
by
Hippocrates
in
his
Aphorismes
,
for
a
good
remedie
against
full
and
repleat
bodies
.
Abstinuisse
decet
nimium
quibus
humida
membra
,
But
yet
the
same
Hippocrates
denieth
that
kinde
of
abstinence
to
bee
any
waies
conuenient
for
growing
yee●es
,
or
for
the
sicke
of
feuers
consuming
,
&
for
such
as
are
not
accustomed
therevnto
.
Humidior
victus
pueris
pariterque
suetis
,
Moreouer
some
bodies
receiue
helpe
and
ease
by
purging
and
euacuation
,
as
the
bodies
of
wrestlers
,
&
such
as
are
come
to
the
top
and
extreame
height
of
fulnesse
,
of
whom
Hippocrates
speaketh
of
in
his
3.
Aphorisme
of
his
booke
.
Ad
summam
veniens
habitudo
athletica
molem
noxia
,
And
yet
the
same
author
in
his
Aphorismes
doth
testifie
,
purges
no
way
to
bee
conuenient
for
sound
and
healthie
bodies
:
for
saith
hee
,
Sana
corpora
difficulter
purgantia
medicamenta
ferunt
,
et
cito
a
purgantibus
exoluuntur
.
And
to
be
short
,
neither
one
nor
the
other
remedy
can
in
any
respect
preuaile
,
if
it
be
applied
out
of
his
due
time
and
season
:
for
,
Temporibus
medicina
valet
,
And
truely
as
no
one
kinde
of
diet
can
fit
all
sorts
of
bodies
:
So
no
one
kinde
of
remedie
can
aptly
be
applied
to
all
maladies
,
no
more
then
one
shooe
can
wel
serue
all
mens
feete
.
What
reason
therfore
haue
these
Tabacconists
(
I
pray
you
)
to
offer
this
their
Tabacco
after
one
and
the
selfe
same
order
to
all
men
,
ages
,
and
complections
indifferently
,
making
no
scruple
of
the
fitnesse
of
time
,
quality
of
the
disease
,
or
temperament
of
the
person
to
whom
they
offer
it
.
What
thing
can
be
more
absurd
and
phantasticall
,
then
to
minister
one
&
the
selfe
same
remedy
to
contrary
&
repugnant
affects
,
hot
&
cold
,
dry
and
moist
,
emptie
and
repleat
,
acute
and
cronicall
,
which
for
the
more
part
haue
deeper
rootes
,
and
are
of
longer
continuance
,
then
can
sodenly
be
blowne
away
with
a
puffe
of
a
smokie
Tabacco
pipe
,
yea
&
some
of
them
can
hardly
be
remoued
by
the
great
paynes
,
care
&
cunning
of
the
expert
and
learned
in
Phisicke
:
for
,
Nonest
in
medico
semper
releuetur
vt
aeger
Interdum
docta
plus
valet
arte
malum
.
And
yet
these
Tabacco
But
I
assure
you
many
diseases
being
of
themselues
and
their
owne
nature
,
light
and
of
easie
cure
,
may
by
the
vntimely
vse
of
this
same
,
become
altogether
incurable
,
such
are
,
the
first
step
or
degree
to
an
Heticke
,
distemper
of
heat
in
the
Liuer
,
oppilations
of
the
Lungs
,
and
such
like
.
And
truely
if
nothing
else
should
make
one
out
of
fancie
with
the
vse
of
Tabacco
,
it
might
be
suffi●ient
for
an
equall
iudge
to
thinck
with
himself
how
vnnaturall
a
thing
it
is
to
peruert
the
naturall
vse
&
offices
of
the
parts
of
the
bodie
,
for
by
the
force
of
Tabacco
the
mouth
,
throte
,
and
stomacke
,
(
appointed
by
nature
for
the
receipt
of
food
&
nourishment
for
the
whole
body
)
are
made
emunctuary
clensing
places
and
sincks
,
(
supplying
heerein
the
office
of
the
most
abiect
and
basest
part
)
for
the
filth
and
superfluous
excrements
of
the
whole
body
.
The
second
Reason
.
THe
second
reason
against
the
ordinarie
vse
of
Tabacco
,
is
taken
from
the
excesse
of
his
two
manifest
qualities
of
heat
and
dri'th
,
which
Monardus
and
others
also
haue
affirmed
to
come
neere
to
the
third
degree
of
excesse
in
either
qualitie
.
So
that
if
men
of
hot
and
dry
constitution
should
often
vse
the
feume
of
Tabacco
,
no
doubt
they
should
increase
much
their
distemper
,
for
like
added
to
his
like
,
increaseth
the
resemblance
&
similitude
the
more
according
to
that
Axiome
in
Philosophie
.
But
I
neede
not
to
stand
long
vpon
this
point
,
seeing
that
daily
practise
&
experience
teachth
vs
,
that
heat
increaseth
heat
,
&
things
cold
,
do
increase
in
vs
a
greaer
cold
,
the
like
may
bee
said
of
the
other
qualities
of
dri'th
and
moisture
,
so
that
in
natural
reason
and
common
sence
it
seemeth
true
that
the
extreame
&
violent
dri'th
&
heat
of
Tabacco
,
maketh
it
far
vnfit
&
vnwholsome
for
thin
&
cholericke
bodies
.
And
so
is
it
also
for
youth
and
such
as
grow
,
for
Qui
crescunt
plurimum
habent
innaticaloris
,
this
naturall
heat
in
youth
,
by
the
immoderate
vse
of
this
fierie
fume
would
soone
turne
vnto
a
heat
vnnaturall
,
and
thereby
be
occasion
of
infinite
maladies
.
But
I
hold
it
a
thing
very
dangerous
,
not
onely
for
the
yonger
sort
,
but
also
for
all
other
ages
and
constitutions
whatsoeuer
,
to
bee
ouer
bold
with
Tabacco
.
For
it
doth
not
onely
consume
and
dissipate
naturall
heat
in
them
(
by
increasing
of
the
vnnaturall
)
but
it
wasteth
also
&
drieth
vp
radicall
moisture
(
the
principall
subiect
of
natiue
heat
)
so
that
heereof
insueth
in
the
bodie
great
store
of
crud
&
vndigested
humours
,
the
effects
of
immoderate
heat
in
vs
.
For
it
is
not
fierie
nor
immoderate
heat
in
vs
,
but
rather
a
milde
&
vnctuous
warmth
,
consisting
in
a
temtperate
&
moderate
moisture
that
performeth
as
well
concoction
as
all
other
naturall
actions
in
vs
.
Which
thing
is
very
apparant
&
conspicuous
in
such
as
are
afflicted
with
hot
&
burning
Feuers
:
In
whom
as
the
fierie
heat
appeareth
most
,
so
crude
and
vndigested
humours
doe
abound
more
then
in
such
as
are
cleare
of
such
extremitie
of
heates
.
Neither
doe
their
humors
at
any
time
come
to
perfect
digestion
in
them
,
vntill
the
rigor
and
violence
of
that
fierie
heate
be
in
some
sort
(
by
cooling
diet
and
medicine
)
repressed
.
Much
lesse
therefore
are
the
patrons
of
Tabacco
to
bee
beeleeued
in
this
,
that
hot
and
burning
Agues
(
●ising
of
corruption
and
putrefaction
of
choler
&
blood
in
the
veines
or
about
the
principall
parts
of
mans
bodie
)
may
bee
cured
with
an
in●usion
of
Tabacco
lease
in
white
Wine
steeped
all
night
.
For
as
it
was
euer
an
aphorisme
&
maxime
in
Phisicke
,
that
as
like
is
maintayned
by
his
like
,
So
was
it
also
of
like
certaintie
in
the
same
art
,
that
Contr●ria
a
contrarijs
currantur
.
Contraries
are
cured
by
their
contraries
.
I
meane
contrary
rather
to
the
disease
,
or
to
the
cause
of
the
disease
.
But
what
contrarietie
I
pray
you
can
be
found
betweene
Tabacco
and
a
Feuer
tercian
or
burning
Ague
:
When
as
they
mani●estly
agree
in
their
principall
qualities
of
heate
and
dri'th
:
both
equally
falling
in
excesse
of
either
of
them
?
The
like
may
be
said
of
other
effects
proceeding
of
the
same
of
like
causes
.
But
to
let
the
diseased
passe
,
and
to
come
to
those
which
are
of
perfect
health
,
I
take
it
very
dangerous
and
hurtfull
for
them
often
to
vse
this
〈…〉
for
therby
great
part
of
that
humour
is
dissipa●●d
,
wasted
,
spent
&
cast
foorth
of
the
body
by
often
〈◊〉
,
seeges
,
swets
and
continnall
spittings
and
coughings
,
which
in
processe
of
time
would
turne
to
good
blood
,
and
holsome
nurrishment
for
the
bodie
.
For
Crude
and
watrish
humors
(
which
for
the
most
part
are
all
those
which
by
this
medicine
are
)
are
oftentimes
very
necessary
for
many
vses
in
the
body
:
As
for
pliant
motion
of
the
loints
,
and
principally
for
nurrishment
of
the
flegmaticke
and
colder
parts
.
And
it
is
a
receiued
opinion
amongst
the
best
Phisitions
that
nature
(
being
a
prouident
&
carefull
nurce
of
mankinde
)
hath
purposely
left
this
Crudie
humour
in
our
bodyes
,
to
the
intent
that
we
might
euer
haue
some
thing
in
store
to
nourish
vs
,
if
happely
we
should
at
any
time
want
other
foode
.
But
that
no
small
part
of
our
nurishment
is
drawne
away
by
the
vntimely
vse
of
this
Tabacco
,
So
that
no
doubt
,
if
they
desist
not
in
time
from
farther
vse
therof
,
ther
is
no
small
suspition
least
that
they
shall
therby
fall
into
Consumptions
,
&
to
that
of
the
most
dangerous
sorts
called
of
the
Phisition
,
Marasmos
proceding
of
want
of
substanciall
nurrishment
,
&
dissipation
of
naturall
heat
and
decay
of
spirits
in
the
body
.
And
heerein
I
cannot
but
wonder
much
at
the
ouer
sight
of
some
,
who
otherwise
being
learned
and
wise
,
yet
in
this
seeme
very
Paradoxicall
,
when
as
they
contend
to
proue
Tabacco
to
be
a
great
nurrisher
.
For
beesides
that
,
it
is
manifest
that
it
taketh
away
great
part
of
our
nurrishment
,
by
the
extreame
euacuation
it
procureth
,
it
is
also
(
by
meanes
of
his
great
heat
&
drynesse
)
very
vnapt
to
breed
any
good
nurishment
in
vs
▪
To
this
may
bee
added
,
his
vnpleasaunt
and
vngratefull
smell
,
insomuch
that
the
tasters
thereof
beare
away
with
them
in
their
bodyes
and
breath
,
the
loathsome
Tabacco
sent
,
long
time
after
.
So
that
it
is
very
euident
and
manifest
that
as
well
in
respect
of
his
substance
(
ouer
hot
&
dry
)
as
also
of
his
vnpleasing
&
stinking
sent
,
it
is
neither
fit
to
nurish
the
humerall
&
solide
parts
,
nor
yet
apt
to
refresh
&
comfort
the
spirits
of
man
,
be
they
naturall
in
the
Liuer
,
vitall
in
the
hart
,
or
sensible
or
animall
in
the
braine
and
sinewes
.
For
as
touching
the
humours
in
vs
,
they
are
aptest
nourished
by
such
things
as
are
either
humorall
and
mo●st
,
or
else
,
may
easely
bee
turned
and
conuerted
into
a
liquid
and
thin
substance
.
And
as
for
the
hard
and
solede
parts
of
the
body
▪
as
bones
,
sinewes
,
vaines
&
artires
)
they
cannot
receiue
any
nutriment
of
any
thing
before
it
bee
first
turned
into
some
moist
and
liquid
substance
also
,
apt
to
be
●uked
&
drunck
into
the
former
parts
,
&
afterward
by
the
force
of
natures
worke
,
assimulated
,
hardened
,
&
transformed
into
the
very
nature
&
substance
of
the
parts
by
it
nurished
.
But
as
for
the
spirits
,
it
hath
ben
a
question
much
disputed
on
amongst
the
Philosophers
,
(
as
Aristotle
,
Plato
,
and
others
)
of
old
time
,
&
their
expositers
since
;
whether
smels
or
odours
may
any
wayes
nourish
the
same
.
And
(
if
I
be
not
deceiued
)
they
all
agree
in
this
,
that
mens
spirits
doe
feele
great
comfort
and
refreshing
by
such
sweet
and
pleasant
sauours
as
are
founded
&
subiected
in
some
moyst
&
vnctuous
matter
.
But
this
priuiledge
cannot
in
any
respect
bee
graunted
to
Tabacco
,
both
for
that
hir
sauour
is
very
vnsauorie
&
stincking
,
&
also
because
it
is
placed
&
founded
in
a
very
dry
and
withered
substance
.
Insomuch
as
that
the
t●sters
and
drinckers
thereo●
,
thincke
it
not
fit
to
bee
taken
,
vntill
it
bee
thoroughly
parched
and
dryed
,
that
thereby
it
might
the
better
receiue
the
force
of
the
fire
,
&
the
sooner
be
kindled
therwith
.
Now
that
sweet
and
pleasant
sauours
&
delightfull
fumes
,
But
on
the
contrary
,
〈…〉
French
Ch●rurgion
not
vnlearned
,
How
noysome
and
irkesome
a
thing
vnpleasant
and
stincking
sauours
be
to
the
braynes
of
men
may
easely
bee
con●ectured
by
the
vsuall
custome
of
most
men
,
who
neuer
passe
by
any
vnsauory
place
,
but
they
streight
wayes
stop
their
noses
&
mouthes
with
their
hands
or
other
meanes
,
least
that
the
ill
vapor
or
stench
therof
should
any
waies
offend
or
loath
their
braine
.
But
to
come
to
our
Tabacco
,
No
doubt
the
long
and
dailie
vse
of
drincking
Tabacco
,
had
accustomed
his
stomack
to
draw
to
it
watrish
and
rewmetick
matter
in
great
aboundance
,
the
quantitie
wherof
,
vrged
nature
to
seeke
meanes
for
the
expelling
the
same
againe
,
which
could
,
by
no
other
thing
be
more
fitly
performed
then
by
Tabacco
it selfe
.
For
as
it
hath
a
powre
&
faculty
to
draw
to
the
stomacke
,
(
as
other
strong
purges
haue
)
so
likewise
hath
it
a
property
and
vertue
to
expell
forth
the
same
,
no
otherwise
then
all
other
purges
haue
.
But
heerein
it
differeth
from
other
purges
,
that
it
seemeth
to
be
of
a
far
more
thin
&
subtile
nature
then
other
purges
bee
,
by
meanes
wherof
,
nature
is
so
pricked
and
forced
oftentimes
in
such
violent
sort
,
as
that
it
causeth
violent
euacuation
,
as
well
by
stoole
vomits
and
swetes
,
as
also
by
saliuacion
,
coughing
&
spittings
,
which
thing
other
purges
vsually
doe
not
,
albeit
they
be
very
forceable
,
violent
and
strong
.
So
that
heereof
is
gathered
the
fourth
reason
beefore
aleadged
,
that
Tabacco
is
not
familiarly
to
be
vsed
beecause
it
is
a
vehement
and
violent
purge
.
The
third
Reason
.
I
Neede
not
stand
long
on
this
point
,
The
often
scowrings
,
fluxes
,
vomets
,
swetes
,
and
other
immoderate
euacuations
in●ident
to
this
simple
,
doe
testifie
the
same
to
purge
most
violently
.
Furthermore
,
Tabacco
is
found
to
be
of
that
strength
&
force
,
that
the
verie
maceration
or
infusion
of
one
leafe
thereof
in
white
wine
ouernight
doth
procure
strong
and
extreame
vomits
.
It
is
as
yet
fresh
in
memorie
,
that
diuers
yong
Gentlemen
,
by
the
daylie
vse
of
this
Tabacco
,
haue
brought
themselues
to
flixes
and
disenteries
,
and
of
late
at
Bath
a
Scholler
of
some
good
accompt
and
worshipfull
calling
,
But
no
purge
,
(
be
he
familiar
or
gentle
,
or
else
violent
and
hurtfull
)
ought
by
the
rules
of
Phisicke
to
bee
familiarly
and
daily
vsed
of
any
man
that
hath
respect
either
of
his
life
,
or
regard
to
his
health
.
For
as
concerning
such
as
are
in
perfect
health
Hippocrat●
the
Prince
of
Phisitions
in
the
36.
Likewise
the
same
author
in
the
37.
And
as
for
sicke
and
diseased
men
,
they
ought
onely
to
vse
purging
remedies
at
such
times
as
their
bodies
and
humours
shall
be
made
fit
and
apt
for
the
operation
of
the
purge
,
according
to
that
counsell
of
Hippocrates
in
his
tenth
Aphorisme
of
his
second
booke
,
saying
:
Purganti
quoties
vacuas
medicamine
corpus
,
quo
bene
res
Cedat
,
fluxile
redde
prius
.
So
often
as
thou
purgest
,
So
that
it
seemeth
very
apparant
true
,
that
neither
in
health
,
nor
yet
in
sicknesse
,
that
so
vntimely
and
vulgar
vse
of
Tabacco
(
beeing
before
prooued
a
violent
purge
)
can
be
vsed
without
great
hurt
and
danger
.
Neither
ought
this
kind
of
remedie
to
be
giuen
at
anytime
,
but
in
causes
of
extremitie
,
and
in
desperate
diseases
onely
.
For
that
it
is
an
extreame
and
desperate
medicine
.
The
fourth
Reason
.
THe
fourth
argument
against
this
new-come
simple
,
was
that
it
drieth
vp
and
withereth
our
vnctuous
and
radicall
moisture
in
vs
,
and
therby
seemeth
an
vtter
enemie
to
the
continuance
and
propagation
of
mankinde
.
This
may
be
prooued
in
this
sort
.
That
thing
which
depriueth
the
body
of
norishment
and
foode
,
doth
also
wither
&
dry
vp
our
naturall
and
radical
moisture
;
(
because
this
hath
his
refreshing
and
sustentation
from
the
purest
part
of
the
blood
ingendred
of
our
nourishments
)
.
But
Tabacco
was
shewed
before
to
depriue
vs
our
norishment
,
in
that
it
spendeth
and
euacuateth
out
of
vs
by
spitting
and
sweats
&
otherwise
much
of
that
matter
that
in
time
would
proue
in
vs
good
blood
&
good
foode
for
our
bodies
.
And
therefore
Tabacco
must
needs
be
said
to
be
a
great
decaier
and
witherer
of
our
radicall
moysture
before
specified
.
Moreouer
Tabacco
by
meanes
of
his
great
heat
and
immeasurable
drinesse
,
dissipateth
naturall
heate
and
kinde
warm'th
in
our
bodies
,
and
thereby
is
cause
of
defect
of
good
concoction
&
perfect
disgestion
in
vs
.
The
humors
therfore
in
vs
by
this
meanes
made
crude
and
rawe
,
can
be
no
fit
aliment
or
nutriment
for
the
vnctuous
and
substantiall
humiditie
,
wherin
with
moderate
and
kindly
heate
the
Philosopher
esteemed
the
life
of
man
to
consist
.
And
last
of
all
,
wheras
the
sperme
&
seed
of
man
,
is
supposed
(
by
the
Phisitians
&
natural
Philosophers
also
)
to
be
framed
of
the
purest
&
finest
part
of
his
blood
by
the
action
&
vertue
of
kindly
warm'th
working
therin
;
the
blood
being
now
vndigested
&
crude
,
and
the
naturall
heate
peruerted
&
corrupted
by
the
immoderate
vse
of
this
hellish
smoake
,
reeking
foorth
of
Plutoes
forge
,
what
sperme
or
seed
shall
we
expect
to
come
from
them
that
daily
vse
or
rather
shamefully
abuse
this
so
apparant
an
enemy
to
the
propagation
therof
,
as
wel
if
you
respect
the
materiall
cause
of
seed
consisting
in
the
perfect●st
&
most
concocted
parts
of
the
blood
)
as
his
efficient
(
resting
in
the
moderation
of
naturall
heat
)
both
greatly
altered
and
decayed
by
the
vse
of
Tabacco
.
Hereby
it
must
needs
in
consequent
follow
,
that
the
continuation
&
propagation
of
mankinde
(
consisting
principally
in
his
perfect
&
vncorrupt
seed
)
is
in
these
men
much
abridged
.
And
for
certaine
proofe
that
Tabacco
dryeth
vp
the
sperme
&
seed
of
man
,
I
heare
by
faithfull
relation
of
such
as
haue
much
vsed
it
;
That
whereas
before
the
vse
thereof
,
they
had
bene
long
molested
with
a
fluxe
of
seed
,
commonly
called
with
vs
the
running
of
the
reines
,
and
of
the
Phisitian
Gomorrhaea
,
(
proceeding
in
them
by
reason
of
great
quantitie
&
abundance
of
that
matterseeking
vent
forth
of
the
bodie
)
they
were
in
short
space
eased
of
this
affect
by
the
onely
vse
of
this
medicine
.
For
no
doubt
,
this
fierie
fume
,
dried
vp
the
superfluitie
of
that
matter
,
which
by
reason
of
her
thin
and
great
quantitie
,
easily
dropped
from
them
.
But
if
they
persist
ouer
long
in
the
practise
therof
,
no
doubt
more
of
that
spermaticall
humiditie
wil
be
dried
vp
in
them
,
the
will
be
conuenient
for
their
health
,
or
for
the
increase
of
their
like
;
wherby
the
propogation
&
continuation
of
mankind
in
this
world
must
need
be
abridged
.
The
fift
Reason
.
THe
fift
argument
against
Tabacco
was
,
that
it
dissipateth
naturall
heate
,
and
thereby
was
occasion
of
rawe
and
vndigested
humours
in
the
bodie
.
This
thing
in
part
hath
bene
demonstrated
before
in
the
chap.
precedent
,
to
which
may
here
be
added
,
that
where
naturall
and
kind
heat
is
by
any
meane
made
more
violent
and
fiery
,
there
the
parts
of
the
body
are
made
more
hard
and
dried
,
and
thereby
the
more
vnfit
and
vnapt
to
drinke
or
receiue
into
them
such
liquid
and
moist
matter
,
as
by
the
daily
foode
should
accrue
and
grow
to
them
.
Wherevpon
it
falleth
forth
,
that
that
humiditie
that
should
bee
conuerted
into
the
nature
&
substance
of
the
sollide
parts
,
is
made
(
by
meanes
of
their
not
admission
thereof
)
excrementall
and
superfluous
.
For
it
is
not
a
thing
either
strange
or
absurd
in
Philosophie
,
that
things
of
qualitie
drie
,
may
by
an
accidentall
meanes
,
be
cause
of
superfluous
moisture
.
We
see
this
thing
confirmed
by
Galen
himself
,
in
his
second
booke
and
second
Chapter
,
De
tempera
mentis
,
We
see
by
experience
,
that
old
persons
being
naturally
drie
in
their
sollide
parts
,
and
haue
for
that
cause
,
their
skin
parched
,
their
faces
withered
,
their
sinewes
f●iffe
,
their
backes
stouping
,
and
yet
who
doubteth
but
such
persons
haue
in
their
intrailes
and
inward
parts
,
great
store
of
flegmaticke
and
excrementall
moistures
,
proceeding
of
want
of
good
digestian
and
concoction
in
those
parts
.
And
truly
those
superfluities
do
the
more
abound
in
them
,
for
that
their
firme
and
sollide
parts
(
as
Sinewes
,
Bones
,
&
Flesh
,
Veines
,
Artiers
,
and
Ligaments
)
are
too
drie
and
hard
to
receiue
and
sucke
vp
so
much
of
that
alimentall
humour
which
Nature
dooth
daily
send
to
them
for
their
sustenance
and
reliefe
.
And
hereof
is
seene
in
daily
experience
,
that
olde
folk
are
troubled
most
with
rewmes
,
Catarres
,
coughs
,
spatterings
,
vomits
,
scourings
,
and
such
like
.
And
that
old
age
is
naturally
drie
and
hard
,
Galen
declareth
in
these
words
:
Senum
temperies
sicca
est
,
We
see
also
that
the
earth
in
Haruest
time
being
ouer
dried
and
parched
with
the
heate
of
the
Sommers
Sunne
,
cannot
so
speedily
suck
and
drinke
vp
such
sudden
showres
of
raine
,
as
at
that
time
most
vsually
doo
happen
.
And
therefore
about
that
time
of
the
yeare
we
see
the
greatest
land
flouds
to
appeare
,
and
most
harmes
to
happen
to
men
by
losse
of
their
Hey
carried
away
thereby
.
All
which
proceedeth
by
reason
of
the
great
siccetie
and
dri'th
of
the
earth
at
that
season
,
causing
it
to
be
far
vnapt
to
receiue
that
sudden
moisture
flowing
on
the
face
thereof
.
In
like
case
the
firme
and
sollide
parts
of
mans
body
,
being
ouer
drie
and
hardned
by
the
long
and
continuall
vse
of
Tabacco
,
do
with
the
more
difficultie
receiue
and
imbybe
into
them
the
alimentall
humiditie
before
specified
:
and
therfore
they
remaine
more
copious
in
the
body
.
The
sixt
Reason
.
THe
sixt
Reason
against
Tabacco
was
,
that
this
Plant
seemeth
not
voyd
of
suspition
of
a
venemous
and
poysoned
nature
,
and
therefore
ought
not
so
carelesly
or
confiden●y
to
be
vsed
.
The
venemous
and
poisoned
substance
and
nature
of
Tabacco
,
is
manifested
and
prooued
by
this
,
that
it
is
daily
experimented
,
and
before
was
prooued
by
vs
,
to
be
a
violent
and
most
forceable
purge
.
Galen
in
his
second
booke
De
ratione
virtus
,
and
12.
Section
,
And
in
the
sixt
of
his
Epidenickes
,
the
same
Galen
affirmeth
,
that
in
times
past
purging
medicines
were
esteemed
deliterious
,
for
that
they
(
being
taken
in
any
large
quantitie
)
were
offensiue
to
nature
,
destroying
and
wasting
the
same
.
In
good
Authors
I
finde
three
kinds
of
deliterious
medicines
.
The
one
in
manifest
qualitie
,
either
excessiue
hote
,
as
Calcanthum
,
or
else
extreame
cold
(
as
Mandrake
)
or
Opium
.
Of
the
second
sort
,
are
those
which
by
their
owne
poysoned
nature
and
substance
,
be
deadly
offensiue
to
the
takers
therof
,
and
they
being
receiued
but
in
small
dose
or
quantitie
,
kill
and
poyson
the
takers
thereof
.
Such
are
venemous
musrumps
,
Napellum
,
Taxicum
,
and
such
like
.
Of
the
third
kind
of
deliterious
and
deadly
medicines
,
be
such
,
as
are
by
reason
of
their
vehement
&
violent
euacuation
,
most
daungerous
and
perillous
,
if
in
any
large
quantitie
they
be
assumed
.
Such
be
Enphorbium
,
praecipitate
,
Eleterium
,
and
Tabacco
it selfe
.
Which
last
as
it
is
deliterious
by
violent
euacuation
,
So
it
is
also
very
pernicious
and
hurtfull
in
his
manifest
and
euident
qualities
of
extreame
dry'th
and
heate
included
therein
.
But
touching
his
violent
euacuation
and
purging
qualitie
,
it
hath
bene
sufficiently
shewed
before
.
This
one
thing
may
be
added
therevnto
,
that
Tabacco
is
in
this
respect
more
perillous
,
for
that
it
is
taken
without
due
preparation
and
correction
.
For
it
is
confessed
of
all
Phisitians
,
Herevpon
it
is
a
vsuall
custome
in
Phisicke
,
to
mixe
with
purges
,
Mastich
,
Cloues
,
Cinamome
,
Ginger
,
Aniseeds
,
Nutmegs
,
and
such
like
sweete
and
aramaticall
Spices
,
partly
to
take
away
the
vngratefull
sent
of
the
purge
,
and
partly
to
defend
the
vitall
spirits
,
&
principall
parts
,
from
the
malice
and
hurt
which
otherwise
would
happen
by
the
ill
qualitie
of
the
purge
.
Out
of
this
rule
of
preparation
of
purges
,
onely
Aloes
Succotrine
is
by
Mesnes
excepted
.
Which
as
hee
affirmeth
)
is
so
farre
from
ill
qualitie
and
deliterious
nature
,
as
that
it
is
commonly
giuen
with
other
purges
to
amend
&
correct
their
venemous
&
malitious
nature
.
But
what
correctiues
I
pray
you
in
our
time
and
Countrey
are
there
vsed
in
this
Indian
Tabacco
,
which
the
more
simple
&
sincere
it
is
,
the
more
holsome
and
effectuall
it
is
adiudged
to
be
?
And
if
it
haue
by
any
meanes
any
aramaticall
spices
shufled
amongst
it
,
it
is
straight
reiected
and
condemned
for
naught
&
counterfeit
.
I
denie
not
but
that
since
Hippocratus
and
Mesnes
time
,
there
haue
beene
found
out
sundrie
purges
by
the
latter
Arabians
,
which
for
that
they
worke
gently
and
without
offence
,
are
called
of
them
,
Benedicta
Medicamenta
:
Blessed
and
safe
medicines
,
and
therefore
haue
need
of
no
preparation
to
be
vsed
with
them
for
their
correction
.
Such
are
thought
to
be
Manna
of
Calabria
,
Camarinds
,
Cassia
of
Rhubarbe
.
But
this
Tabacco
(
now
in
vse
)
is
of
an
other
keye
,
and
no
waies
to
be
accounted
Benedictum
in
working
,
but
rather
diabolicall
and
hellish
:
for
that
it
worketh
with
extremitie
,
torments
and
griefe
.
And
that
it
is
also
in
substance
and
nature
deliterious
and
venemous
,
And
it
is
the
more
daungerous
for
that
it
hath
in
it
the
effects
of
contrary
and
repuguant
poisons
:
I
cannot
resemble
the
poysoned
force
of
this
Tabacco
to
any
thing
more
aptly
,
then
to
the
venome
of
a
Scorpion
,
Neither
do
I
take
it
of
great
importance
which
is
by
some
alleaged
;
For
what
great
inconuenience
(
I
pray
you
)
can
happen
to
the
taker
thereof
,
Fewe
or
none
do
take
it
downe
their
throates
,
But
if
happily
any
,
more
audacious
then
circumspect
,
shall
let
downe
any
large
quantitie
thereof
,
then
shal
you
euidently
perceiue
in
him
,
most
of
those
accidents
before
specified
.
I
am
not
ignorant
that
many
perillous
and
deadly
poysons
are
sometimes
taken
into
the
body
without
offence
and
daunger
,
but
then
they
are
either
in
very
small
quantitie
(
as
I
spake
before
)
or
else
so
repressed
and
corrected
with
other
Cordialls
,
For
example
,
the
flesh
of
Vipers
in
Treacle
is
so
tempered
and
corrected
,
that
it
profiteth
much
to
such
as
orderly
reciue
it
,
against
any
poyson
or
contagion
whatsoeuer
.
And
quick-siluer
well
mortified
,
is
often
giuen
,
&
inwardly
taken
,
against
many
infirmities
,
with
good
successe
.
So
in
like
maner
we
denie
not
but
that
in
smal
quantitie
Tabacco
may
be
taken
of
any
men
without
peril
or
imminent
danger
,
&
especially
being
corrected
&
purified
by
the
force
of
the
fire
wherewith
it
is
ministred
.
For
that
fire
sometimes
doth
represse
the
poisoned
vapour
of
venemous
things
,
It
may
also
be
assigned
out
of
Mercurialis
for
an
other
reason
,
But
Serpents
haue
no
such
in
them
:
for
all
their
humours
be
well
and
perfectly
digested
.
Which
may
well
bee
gathered
by
the
fragrant
and
sweete
smell
,
and
pleasant
smell
and
sent
,
which
breathing
from
their
bodies
,
is
left
behind
in
those
places
where
they
vsually
haunt
.
But
here
may
be
obiected
,
To
this
may
be
answered
,
In
like
case
I
read
in
Galen
in
his
3.
By
litle
and
litle
(
saith
he
)
shee
accustomed
nature
thereto
,
that
at
length
,
this
poyson
became
familiar
to
her
,
and
no
way
offensiue
,
but
rathe●
nourishing
to
her
body
.
Auicen
also
in
his
Treatise
de
Viribus
Cordis
,
alleaging
Rufus
an
auncient
Phisitian
for
his
authour
,
reporteth
that
there
was
a
yong
maid
,
who
being
fed
&
norished
long
time
with
poyson
,
liued
her self
in
perfect
health
.
And
yet
with
her
venemous
breath
she
poysoned
and
infected
all
other
persons
that
came
neare
to
the
same
.

And

And

Of
these
men
Galen
maketh
mention
in
his
11.
So
that
it
is
manifest
&
apparant
by
the
testimonies
before
rehearsed
,
Consuetud●
alter
an
naturam
.
Custom
changeth
nature
,
&
at
length
turneth
into
nature
it self
;
for
it
is
an
other
nature
.
The
like
is
seene
in
the
East
Indies
,
where
the
Turkes
familiarly
vse
Opium
in
large
quantitie
,
which
to
vs
but
in
very
small
dose
is
experimented
to
be
manifest
poyson
:
onely
long
vse
&
familiar
practise
hath
made
this
vnconuenient
for
their
bodies
.
And
so
no
doubt
if
our
countrey
men
from
their
infancie
had
by
litle
and
litle
vsed
to
take
this
Tabacco
fume
or
other
poyson
whatsoeuer
,
they
should
haue
had
as
litle
cause
to
feare
the
daunger
thereof
,
as
the
Turkes
haue
of
their
Opium
,
or
the
old
Marsitians
had
of
Vipers
,
or
the
West
Indians
haue
of
their
Tabacco
.
But
for
want
of
that
Custome
,
it
fareth
with
vs
in
that
sort
,
that
if
we
take
any
great
quantitie
of
the
Opium
before
specified
,
we
shall
rather
die
on
the
sudden
,
or
else
fall
into
that
kinde
of
dead
sleepe
,
as
that
we
shall
by
no
other
meanes
then
by
the
Arch-angels
trumpet
(
sounding
at
the
latter
day
)
be
awakened
thereout
.
To
this
may
be
added
a
secret
vertue
and
specificall
qualitie
giuen
the
Indians
by
nature
,
whereby
they
are
not
ouercome
by
this
kinde
of
poyson
,
as
other
Nations
be
.
For
Sextus
Empericus
Attienagoras
Argivus
had
a
gift
giuen
by
nature
euen
from
his
birth
,
that
hee
could
bee
hurt
by
no
venemous
Beast
or
Serpent
whatsoeuer
.
And
that
certaine
people
of
Aethiopia
did
naturally
feed
&
nourish
themselues
with
the
flesh
of
Scorpions
.
But
we
Englishmen
may
not
safely
presume
that
this
specifical●
vertue
&
hidden
qualitie
doth
abide
or
lurk
in
vs
,
seeing
that
by
far
weaker
poisons
then
these
,
we
sustaine
infinit
perils
,
and
often
incurre
death
it selfe
.
Wherefore
we
haue
the
lesse
cause
to
venture
on
things
in
reason
suspected
to
be
of
a
venemous
&
poysoned
qualitie
,
because
forsoothe
the
Indians
doo
it
without
offence
.
Neither
is
it
of
any
great
waight
or
moment
which
is
alleadged
of
the
Tabacco
patrons
for
her
commendation
,
that
Marriners
and
Sea-faring
men
,
neuer
found
any
remedie
so
forceable
against
the
Scuruie
and
other
diseases
of
like
nature
,
commonly
incident
to
that
kinde
of
people
(
by
meanes
of
the
foggy
ayre
in
the
Sea
,
and
their
vnholsome
diet
)
then
is
the
fume
of
Tabacco
.
The
reason
of
this
profit
in
Marriners
may
bee
,
because
their
bodies
after
long
lying
on
the
Seas
,
are
filled
and
stuffed
with
badde
and
corrupt
humours
,
on
the
which
the
force
and
power
of
Tabacco
dooth
worke
,
drawing
and
purging
them
forth
of
the
body
,
no
otherwise
then
other
strong
purges
expell
and
purge
forth
such
corrupt
humours
as
haue
any
similitude
or
likenesse
to
themselues
.
But
as
strong
purges
taken
of
sound
and
holsome
bodies
(
as
I
shewed
you
before
)
be
very
perillous
and
dangerous
:
So
truly
is
Tabacco
,
being
taken
of
such
as
are
cleare
and
voyd
of
such
impure
and
corrupt
matter
,
which
to
the
Marriners
is
most
familiar
and
vsuall
.
The
like
is
seene
of
other
poysons
,
which
when
they
find
any
of
their
owne
qualitie
&
nature
in
mans
body
,
or
that
hath
any
likenesse
or
similitude
to
them
,
they
drawe
forth
the
same
(
the
like
coue●ing
his
like
)
and
leaue
the
sound
and
healthy
humours
cleare
and
vnspotted
.
But
when
no
such
poisoned
matter
is
found
in
the
bodie
,
then
dooth
the
poyson
or
venome
receiued
,
worke
on
the
good
humours
,
vtterly
corrupting
and
destroying
them
.
So
that
it
is
apparant
that
sometime
venomes
(
to
venemous
and
poysoned
persons
)
may
be
profitable
&
medicinable
.
But
to
sound
&
healthy
bodies
they
can
neuer
happen
without
danger
.
The
seuenth
Reason
.
THe
seuenth
reason
against
Tabacco
was
,
that
this
hearbe
seemed
to
bee
first
found
out
and
inuented
by
the
diuell
,
and
first
vsed
and
practised
by
the
diuels
priests
,
and
therfore
not
to
be
vsed
of
vs
Christians
.
That
the
diuell
was
the
first
author
hereof
,
Monardus
in
his
Treatise
of
Tabacco
dooth
sufficiently
witnesse
,
saying
.
The
Indian
Priests
(
who
no
doubt
were
instruments
of
the
diuell
whom
they
serue
)
doo
euer
before
they
answere
to
questions
propounded
to
them
by
their
Princes
,
drinke
of
this
Tabacco
fume
,
with
the
vigour
and
strength
wherof
,
they
fall
suddenly
to
the
ground
,
as
dead
men
,
remaining
so
,
according
to
the
quantitie
of
the
smoake
that
they
had
taken
.
And
when
the
hearbe
had
done
his
worke
,
they
reuiue
and
wake
,
giuing
answeres
according
to
the
visions
and
illusions
which
they
saw
whilst
they
were
wrapt
in
that
order
.
And
they
interpreted
their
demaunds
as
to
them
seemed
best
,
or
as
the
diuell
had
counselled
them
,
giuing
continual
doubtful
answers
,
in
such
sort
,
that
howsoeuer
they
fell
out
,
they
might
turne
it
to
their
purpose
,
like
vnto
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
.
As
Aio
te
Aeacide
Romanos
vincere
posse
.
Which
might
be
vnderstood
,
that
either
he
might
ouerthrow
the
Romanes
,
or
that
the
Romanes
might
ouercome
him
.
But
yet
in
more
plaine
words
,
the
same
Monardus●
litle
after
declareth
the
Diuell
to
bee
the
author
of
Tabacco
,
and
of
the
knowledge
thereof
,
saying
:
And
as
the
Diuell
is
a
deceiuer
,
and
hath
the
knowledge
of
the
vertue
of
hearbes
;
so
hee
did
shewe
them
the
vertue
of
this
hearbe
,
by
meanes
whereof
they
might
see
the
imaginations
and
Visions
that
hee
representeth
vnto
them
,
and
by
that
meanes
dooth
deceiue
them
.
Wherfore
in
mine
opinion
this
practise
is
the
more
to
be
eschued
of
vs
Christians
,
who
follow
&
professe
Christ
as
the
onely
veritie
and
truth
,
and
detest
and
abhorre
the
diuell
,
as
a
lyar
and
deceiuer
of
mankinde
.
The
eight
and
last
Reason
.
THe
last
,
and
that
not
the
least
argument
against
Tabacco
,
was
that
it
is
a
great
encreaser
of
melancholy
in
vs
,
and
thereby
disposeth
our
bodies
to
all
melancholy
impressions
and
effects
proceeding
of
that
humour
.
Galen
in
his
second
booke
of
temperaments
and
3.
Chapter
,
And
this
melancholy
humour
is
said
to
bee
of
two
sorts
:
the
one
naturall
,
the
other
vnnaturall
.
The
naturall
is
that
thicke
part
of
the
bloud
before
rehearsed
.
The
vnnaturall
is
not
the
sediment
or
grounds
of
good
bloud
,
but
rather
a
certain
burnt
and
parched
matter
rising
of
the
adustian
and
scorching
of
the
other
humors
,
that
is
,
of
phlegme
,
yealow
choller
,
and
of
the
former
sediment
of
pure
bloud
,
which
we
termed
naturall
melancholy
.
And
albeit
it
seemeth
very
vnlike
that
phlegme
(
being
of
nature
cold
and
moist
)
may
be
any
adustian
be
turned
into
swoart
and
blacke
choller
;
yet
in
qualitie
and
disposition
that
humour
doth
often
represent
and
resemble
melancholy
it selfe
.
And
therefore
Galen
holdeth
sometimes
melancholy
to
bee
ingendered
of
phlegmy
ouer-hardned
and
dried
.
The
contrarietie
and
diuersitie
of
these
vnnaturall
melancholies
,
doth
hang
and
depend
on
the
contrarietie
and
difference
of
the
humours
whereof
they
bee
engendered
.
All
these
sorts
of
melancholies
are
augmented
and
encreased
much
in
such
as
often
accustome
themselues
to
the
fume
of
Tabacco
.
For
first
,
touching
the
natural
melancholy
,
it
is
manifest
that
the
thicker
and
grosser
that
the
bloud
is
,
the
more
of
that
thicke
and
earthly
sediment
it
shall
containe
.
But
Tabacco
thickeneth
and
engrosseth
the
bloud
,
and
therefore
Tabacco
engendereth
in
vs
a
greater
store
of
that
thicke
and
grosse
sediment
which
wee
defined
to
bee
of
Galen
called
naturall
melancholy
.
The
Maior
or
first
Proposition
is
manifest
,
for
all
liquid
and
moist
things
are
the
more
thicke
,
or
thinne
,
and
cleare
,
according
to
the
quantitie
of
the
grounds
and
feces
mixed
in
the
same
.
For
if
the
groundes
be
many
,
then
is
the
matter
or
humor
troublesome
and
thicke
.
But
if
the
dregges
or
feces
be
fewe
,
then
is
the
humor
cleare
and
thin
.
The
Minor
or
second
Proposition
of
the
former
Sillogisme
,
may
be
proued
in
this
sort
.
All
those
things
which
waste
and
consume
the
purest
&
thinnest
parts
of
the
blood
,
doo
cause
the
same
blood
to
remaine
afterward
more
grosse
and
thicke
,
and
therfore
may
iustly
be
said
to
thicken
the
blood
.
But
Tabacco
wasteth
and
absumeth
the
liquid
and
thin
part
of
our
blood
,
and
therfore
Tabacco
may
iustly
be
said
to
thicken
the
same
.
The
Maior
Proposition
being
euident
,
needeth
no
farther
proofe
.
The
Minor
is
prooued
by
daily
and
vsuall
practise
and
experience
of
such
as
commonly
doo
drinke
this
Tabacco
.
For
thereby
doo
they
purge
great
store
of
a
cleare
and
thin
humour
,
which
would
mixe
it selfe
with
the
blood
,
and
cause
the
same
to
be
more
liquid
and
fluent
,
and
in
time
also
(
by
good
Concoction
)
turne
into
pure
and
subtile
blood
,
apt
to
feede
and
norish
the
bodie
.
And
albeit
melancholy
(
being
of
nature
cold
)
seemeth
to
haue
no
need
of
phlegmetique
and
thin
humours
to
be
mixed
therewith
(
least
that
his
colde
distemper
be
greatly
increased
thereby
)
:
yet
of
necessitie
some
store
of
this
crude
and
rawe
matter
is
required
to
runne
with
the
melancholy
Iuice
,
to
moderate
and
temper
his
extreame
siccetie
and
drythe
,
and
to
defend
it
from
Induration
&
hardnesse
.
The
increase
whereof
in
our
bodies
,
breedeth
dulnesse
,
sottishnesse
,
and
blockishnesse
.
All
which
are
the
vsuall
effects
of
ouer-hardened
and
dryed
melancholie
.
For
melancholy
ouer-hardened
,
if
it
come
once
to
be
cooled
,
it
is
extreame
cold
as
Iron
.
Which
being
heat
,
is
extreame
hotte
;
and
being
cooled
againe
,
is
extreame
cold
also
.
So
this
hard
and
drie
melancholy
once
depriued
of
naturall
heate
by
the
inordinate
vse
of
Tabacco
fewme
(
the
fierie
heate
of
the
one
dissipating
the
naturall
and
lesser
heate
of
the
other
)
can
yeeld
nothing
else
but
the
effects
of
an
excessiue
and
immoderate
colde
cause
lying
in
the
veines
,
and
mixed
with
the
blood
.
Such
are
esteemed
to
bee
dulnesse
of
conceit
,
blockishnesse
,
mopishnesse
,
and
sottishnesse
,
one
of
the
worst
kindes
of
accidents
that
commonly
ensue
ouer-hardened
,
cooled
and
dryed
melancholy
in
our
bodies
.
Againe
,
such
as
the
partes
of
the
blood
be
,
such
also
is
thought
the
blood
to
bee
,
and
as
the
blood
prooueth
,
so
likewise
are
the
spirites
affected
,
for
they
doo
issue
and
proceed
from
the
blood
it selfe
.
And
such
as
the
spirites
are
,
such
also
is
adiudged
to
be
the
temper
and
dissipation
of
the
heart
and
braine
:
and
as
the
braine
is
disposed
and
affected
,
so
likewise
are
the
vertues
of
conceit
,
imagination
,
vnderstanding
,
and
remembrance
,
affected
and
disposed
also
.
All
which
in
particular
,
by
sundrie
examples
were
easie
to
prooue
,
for
him
that
is
but
meanely
seene
and
slenderly
read
in
Philosophie
sayings
,
that
the
sanguine
man
by
meanes
of
the
puritie
of
his
blood
,
hath
his
braine
and
inward
parts
well
tempered
,
his
sences
cleare
,
his
spirites
light
and
subtile
,
his
heart
bold
and
merrie
,
his
minde
affable
,
curteous
and
ciuil
.
Whereas
on
the
contrary
part
,
the
melancholy
person
by
reason
of
the
superfluous
earthly
and
drie
matter
mixed
with
his
bloud
,
hath
his
complexion
more
wan
and
swarte
,
his
conceit
of
braine
more
dull
and
hard
,
his
minde
giuen
to
sollitarinesse
and
priuate
life
.
For
those
two
humours
of
bloud
and
melancholy
,
are
in
both
their
qualities
very
repugnant
and
contrary
.
The
one
being
hotte
and
moyst
,
the
other
colde
and
drie
.
But
here
me
thinkes
I
hear
you
say
,
what
maketh
this
idle
discourse
of
bloud
and
melancholy
,
of
the
disposition
of
the
braine
and
spirits
to
your
purpose
,
or
to
the
reputation
of
Tabacco
?
Forsoothe
very
much
.
For
heereby
it
appeareth
that
the
continuall
practises
of
Tabacco
,
destroy
the
puritie
and
clearnesse
of
their
bloud
,
in
that
as
I
proo●ed
before
,
it
hardeneth
and
thickeneth
the
same
.
And
in
thickening
it
engendereth
dull
&
melancholy
spirites
,
which
make
blockish
and
sottish
conceits
,
and
a
timerous
and
deiected
mind
not
fit
or
conuenient
for
man
that
delilghteth
in
ciuilitie
and
societie
of
others
.
For
seeing
that
the
fewme
of
Tabacco
yeeldeth
no
good
foode
or
nourishment
to
the
pure
blood
,
but
rather
troubleth
and
corrupteth
the
same
,
it
is
thereby
most
plaine
and
euident
,
that
it
ingendreth
in
vs
most
dull
and
troubled
spirites
,
also
tasting
and
sauouring
much
of
that
loathsome
fewme
and
duskish
smoake
which
rise●●
&
steemeth
vp
to
the
braine
by
the
roofe
and
pallate
of
the
mouth
,
first
sent
thither
through
the
Tabacco
pipe
full
charged
with
Tabacco
dust
,
and
afterward
scorched
and
incinerated
by
the
extreame
heate
of
the
parching
fire
.
This
darke
and
smoakie
fume
,
pearsing
the
cauities
and
ventricles
of
the
braine
,
no
otherwise
,
then
a
melancholy
winde
or
adust
vapour
(
rising
from
an
adust
Liuer
,
or
obstructed
splene
)
do
breed
in
vs
terror
,
and
feare
,
discontentment
of
life
,
false
and
peruerse
imaginations
,
and
fantasies
most
strange
,
no
way
depending
vpon
iust
cause
or
grounds
,
and
alwaies
a
melancholy
spirit
,
a
fertfull
and
timerous
minde
.
For
truly
the
inward
darknesse
and
obscuritie
of
the
braine
,
doth
appall
and
terrifie
our
inward
sences
and
minde
also
,
in
no
lesse
sort
then
doth
the
externall
darknesse
or
myst
of
the
outward
aire
,
terrifie
&
apall
the
same
.
And
if
any
man
be
farre
blinded
with
Tabacco
,
that
he
will
not
admit
for
true
,
that
the
vapour
or
fume
thereof
ascending
to
the
braine
,
is
darke
and
swart
of
colour
,
and
of
qualitie
excessiue
drie
;
let
him
but
cast
his
eyes
on
the
smoake
issuing
forth
of
the
nosthrils
of
the
Tabacconists
,
or
to
the
smoakie
tincture
left
in
the
Tabacco
Pipe
after
the
receit
thereof
,
and
he
shall
easily
reclaime
his
error
.
This
swart
&
sottish
tincture
cleaueth
so
fast
to
the
inward
part
of
the
Pipe
,
as
hardly
by
any
means
but
by
the
extreme
heate
of
the
fire
it
may
be
cleared
from
thence
.
And
no
doubt
the
like
impression
doth
the
same
leaue
in
our
braines
,
and
in
the
cauities
thereof
.
So
that
the
animall
spirits
ingendred
in
those
places
,
can
no
lesse
but
(
participating
thereof
)
sauour
of
the
same
,
no
otherwise
then
wine
put
into
an
vnsauorie
and
mustie
bottle
,
doth
euer
sauour
of
a
mustie
taste
.
Neither
am
I
any
waies
ignorant
that
Aristotle
in
his
Problems
holdeth
that
melancholy
doth
help
and
profit
much
to
the
sharpening
&
quickning
of
the
wit
and
vnderstanding
:
and
that
melancholy
persons
are
deemed
of
him
the
most
wisest
.
But
this
kinde
of
melancholy
(
which
Aristotle
talketh
of
)
is
altogether
naturall
,
and
no
way
engendreth
of
the
Tabacco
smoake
.
For
it
is
the
sediment
and
groundes
of
the
pure
&
perfect
blood
,
The
subtilitie
therefore
and
stabilitie
of
these
spirites
,
rising
from
such
a
naturall
melancholy
,
doeth
much
further
the
sharpning
of
the
wit
and
vnderstanding
of
man
.
But
the
like
cannot
be
expected
of
the
spirites
rising
of
that
kinde
of
melancholy
which
is
engendred
by
the
abuse
of
Tabacco
.
For
this
sort
of
melancholy
humor
is
neither
bright
&
shining
like
to
molten
gold
,
nor
yet
the
grounds
of
pure
and
perfect
blood
,
but
rather
an
earthly
and
adust
matter
,
not
much
vnlike
stoncole
or
scorched
earth
.
So
that
the
spirites
issuing
from
it
must
needs
be
of
a
diuers
and
farre
contrarie
qualitie
and
nature
.
Last
of
all
,
melancholy
being
of
nature
cold
and
drie
,
had
in
reason
need
of
some
thin
and
liquid
humor
to
be
mixed
therewith
,
to
temper
his
extreame
siccetie
and
drythe
:
which
is
the
qualitie
of
most
offence
and
annoyance
in
it
.
For
as
phlegme
offendeth
most
in
cold
,
so
doth
melancholy
falt
most
in
drynesse
.
Tabacco
therefore
ought
in
no
respect
to
be
familiarly
vsed
of
the
melancholy
person
,
because
it
is
excessiue
drie
,
both
in
his
manifest
qualitie
,
and
likewise
by
accidentall
meanes
of
his
immoderate
purging
and
euacuation
,
by
meanes
whereof
,
great
part
of
that
liquid
and
moyst
matter
is
purged
out
of
the
body
that
should
retaine
and
keepe
it
in
perfect
state
and
temper
.
And
for
that
Tabacco
is
confessed
to
be
hotte
,
almost
in
the
third
degree
of
excesse
,
therfore
his
drithe
and
siccetie
is
thereby
made
the
more
vehement
,
and
vntollerable
.
So
that
it
is
apparant
that
vnnaturall
melancholy
,
whether
it
be
made
of
adustian
of
bloud
,
choller
,
or
phlegmy
,
or
else
of
the
sediment
of
them
,
scorched
and
as
it
were
in
cinerated
,
hath
no
small
encrease
by
the
vntimely
vse
of
this
phantasticall
deuice
of
Tabacco
smoake
,
leauing
in
our
bodies
a
fierie
impression
and
drie
distemper
,
not
easily
remedied
.
And
therefore
in
my
opinion
all
melancholy
persons
,
of
what
state
or
condition
soeuer
they
bee
of
,
and
especially
Students
and
Schollers
,
ought
to
bee
very
well
aduised
in
the
vse
of
so
pernitious
and
dangerous
a
thing
,
least
that
in
them
,
naturall
melancholy
be
conuerted
into
vnnaturall
,
and
this
also
,
either
into
a
corrisiue
and
adust
humour
apt
to
inflame
the
braine
,
or
else
into
a
matter
so
hard
and
drie
,
as
that
it
be
altogether
hurtful
and
offensiue
to
the
vnctuous
and
radicall
moisture
of
the
life
of
man
:
and
thereby
occasion
a
hastie
and
vntimely
death
.
For
no
longer
can
life
continue
,
then
naturall
heate
bee
refreshed
with
an
ayrie
and
moderate
moisture
included
in
the
radicall
humour
,
and
appointed
by
nature
for
the
reliefe
and
sustentation
of
the
same
.
