CHAP.
I.
The
causes
of
corruption
and
destruction
of
our
humane
bodies
.
THAT
we
may
come
to
our
purpose
,
the
first
and
chiefest
cause
of
corruption
and
destruction
of
our
Bodies
,
of
old
Age
,
Death
,
and
all
other
miseries
,
which
doe
happen
vnto
vs
in
this
life
,
is
the
fall
of
our
first
Parents
,
and
the
reliques
of
Sinne
,
remayning
in
our
corrupt
Nature
,
as
the
Apostle
doth
witnesse
in
the
eighth
Chapter
of
the
Romans
:
Corpus
nostrum
,
morti
destinatum
est
propter
pcccatum
.
For
,
euen
as
death
is
the
last
of
all
euills
,
which
may
afflict
vs
in
this
life
;
euen
so
,
by
the
name
of
Death
we
endure
in
this
life
all
miseries
and
afflictions
;
Heere-hence
come
our
errours
which
leade
vs
by
our
blinde
will
,
and
through
the
perswasion
of
the
Deuill
driue
vs
to
commit
all
wickednesse
and
euill
,
wherby
we
accumulate
and
heape
vp
the
iust
wrath
and
indignation
of
God
,
to
afflict
vs
with
euery
kinde
of
disease
,
miserie
,
and
calamitie
.
Another
cause
of
diseases
,
destruction
,
and
deprauation
of
our
bodies
,
is
the
sinister
and
maleuolent
influence
of
the
celestiall
Planets
,
and
the
infelicitie
of
our
temperaments
:
for
,
as
in
euery
thing
there
are
certayne
naturall
properties
,
which
God
from
euerlasting
hath
endued
with
naturall
effects
;
so
euery
effect
and
vertue
is
incited
in
our
bodies
from
Heauen
,
which
God
created
not
only
in
a
certayne
order
and
greatnesse
,
that
we
should
discerne
the
Yeeres
,
Dayes
,
and
Moneths
,
but
that
there
should
be
signes
also
from
whence
wee
might
take
certayne
Arguments
of
things
to
come
.
For
the
inferior
bodies
doe
depend
vpon
the
Superior
,
and
are
contayned
in
a
certayne
mutuall
knowledge
amongst
themselues
;
for
the
Superior
doth
infuse
a
certayne
secret
force
and
vertue
into
the
Inferior
bodies
,
by
which
the
humours
of
our
bodies
are
changed
,
increased
,
and
diminished
according
to
the
placing
and
qualitie
of
the
Starres
:
and
this
is
more
cleerely
and
euidently
taught
vs
by
daily
experience
the
Mistris
of
all
things
,
then
that
it
needeth
farther
demonstration
.
If
no
man
will
giue
credit
to
our
wordes
,
let
him
consider
the
Moone
which
doth
challenge
vnto
her selfe
the
chiefe
dominion
in
Humours
,
and
they
shall
well
perceiue
their
error
.
Seeing
then
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
humours
of
our
bodies
are
gouerned
by
the
Superior
bodies
:
And
of
the
euill
humours
of
our
bodies
to
grow
Diseases
,
and
from
disease
death
;
therefore
not
vnworthily
of
death
:
and
the
cause
of
other
diseases
to
depend
in
some
part
vpon
the
celestiall
bodies
,
is
declared
.
Besides
this
there
are
two
other
kindes
of
causes
,
that
doe
change
and
destroy
our
bodies
,
which
doe
grow
from
the
superior
Planets
.
One
kinde
is
that
,
that
is
ingendred
with
vs
,
and
is
therefore
said
to
be
Interne
,
necessarie
,
and
ineuitable
,
and
they
are
in
number
three
,
that
is
,
Drynesse
,
which
by
the
course
of
Age
bringeth
to
death
,
a
daily
wasting
of
substance
,
or
the
great
varietie
and
mobilitie
of
the
matter
in
our
bodies
,
and
the
abundance
of
excrements
.
Another
kinde
of
them
are
,
which
happen
outward
,
and
therefore
are
called
Externe
,
of
which
the
reason
is
said
to
be
twofold
,
for
some
of
them
are
which
doth
not
change
or
affect
our
bodies
of
necessitie
;
for
although
when
these
things
happen
,
their
hurt
may
be
by
vs
auoyded
,
notwithstanding
,
there
are
some
of
them
that
our
life
may
be
safe
without
them
.
They
are
such
things
which
doe
bruise
,
hurt
,
and
wound
our
bodies
,
which
for
the
most
part
hapneth
by
some
outward
force
,
as
in
the
warres
,
and
other
cases
of
Fortune
,
as
either
being
drowned
or
made
away
with
poyson
.
There
are
other
things
also
,
which
are
said
of
necessitie
to
alter
Mans
body
,
which
although
we
may
auoide
particularly
,
yet
generally
we
cannot
,
when
we
cannot
liue
without
them
.
These
things
,
I
say
,
doe
destroy
and
ouerthrow
the
temperature
,
constitution
,
and
naturall
health
of
man
,
if
they
be
not
rightly
vsed
as
necessity
and
the
state
of
the
body
requireth
.
And
those
are
those
sixe
things
,
which
are
called
not
naturall
,
which
we
will
consider
in
particular
;
which
sixe
things
are
placed
in
our
power
and
election
,
and
they
are
of
sixe
kindes
.
These
things
being
duely
and
rightly
vsed
,
doe
conserue
man
in
good
health
,
but
vsed
contrarily
,
they
destroy
;
for
,
as
health
doth
consist
in
a
meane
and
a
mediocritie
,
so
also
in
a
meane
vse
of
things
necessary
it
is
conserued
.
CHAP.
II.
Generall
precepts
to
conserue
the
Health
.
I
Haue
declared
vnto
you
the
chiefe
causes
,
through
which
the
diuers
mutations
,
destructions
,
and
corruptions
of
our
bodies
doe
arise
.
Now
,
on
the
contrarie
I
will
declare
vnto
you
also
those
things
,
which
if
we
vse
them
in
right
order
and
manner
,
doe
contayne
the
safetie
of
life
,
restore
health
lost
,
and
diminish
some
kindes
of
diseases
and
expell
them
.
For
this
thing
it
is
first
needfull
and
requisite
,
that
you
know
certainely
and
be
sure
of
,
that
although
the
celestiall
bodies
doe
exercise
a
certayne
force
and
admirable
vertue
,
in
the
affaires
of
Man
,
yet
notwithstanding
,
GOD
Almightie
,
the
Worke-man
and
Creator
of
all
Nature
and
Humane
things
,
being
the
Lord
of
Life
and
Death
,
who
hath
the
gouernement
of
all
Inferior
bodies
that
cannot
be
remoued
,
but
that
he
doth
gouerne
and
rule
the
influence
of
all
Stars
and
Planets
,
and
remoue
the
course
and
efficacy
of
them
;
and
likewise
doth
moderate
all
inclinations
that
grow
from
the
Planets
,
and
oftentimes
according
to
his
great
goodnesse
,
doth
turn
away
diseases
,
and
change
them
into
better
:
sometimes
also
according
to
his
secret
and
iust
iudgement
for
our
sinnes
,
to
exasperate
and
turne
them
into
worse
.
For
the
diuine
Maiestie
is
not
in
the
Starres
,
which
the
God-head
hath
framed
for
the
profit
and
conseruation
of
mankinde
,
neither
is
it
inclosed
within
a
certayne
fatall
necessitie
,
as
it
were
shut
vp
in
prison
,
but
doth
worke
freely
,
and
as
the
chiefe
cause
doth
gouerne
and
moderate
all
other
causes
.
This
therefore
eternall
God
,
the
most
louing
Father
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
which
proroged
the
life
of
King
Hazechias
for
fifteene
yeeres
,
is
humbly
to
be
prayed
vnto
daily
,
that
he
would
bestow
vpon
vs
also
a
long
and
a
safe
life
,
with
a
right
constitution
as
well
of
body
as
strength
of
minde
,
and
to
preserue
the
same
:
for
rightly
is
it
said
:
Astra
valent
aliquid
,
plus
pia
vota
valent
,
Astra
regunt
mundum
,
sed
regit
astra
Deus
.
Cedunt
astra
Deo
,
precibus
Deus
ipse
piorum
.
Next
,
when
for
our
sinnes
our
bodies
are
affected
with
often
and
diuers
kindes
of
diseases
,
we
must
carefully
striue
that
we
gouerne
the
inclinations
and
wandering
motions
of
our
mindes
,
and
that
we
vse
a
bridle
to
our
outward
members
,
and
that
we
doe
not
only
flye
wickednesse
,
but
that
we
auoide
the
occasions
also
thereof
.
It
becommeth
you
,
my
deare
Sonnes
,
to
vse
this
diligence
in
the
gouernement
of
your
life
and
manners
,
and
chiefly
to
embrace
true
Religion
,
and
due
obedience
and
loue
to
your
Parents
,
which
if
you
shall
doe
,
God
will
in
like
manner
,
as
he
hath
promised
in
the
Decalogue
,
giue
vnto
you
happinesse
and
long
life
:
for
as
S.
Paul
saith
truely
in
the
1.
of
Tim.
4.
Pietas
ad
omnia
vtilis
est
,
&c.
Godlinesse
is
profitable
vnto
all
things
,
which
hath
the
promise
of
the
life
present
,
and
of
that
that
is
to
come
:
the
which
in
some
manner
was
vnderstood
by
an
Ethnick
,
Zoroaster
King
of
the
Bactrians
,
where
he
saith
,
Qui
mentem
ardenum
ad
opus
pietatis
intenderit
,
labile
corpus
seruabit
:
and
Cicero
saith
,
Pietatem
esse
matrem
,
&
fundamentum
omnium
virtutum
:
That
Godlinesse
is
the
mother
and
foundation
of
all
vertues
.
Secondly
,
when
it
is
said
,
that
the
Starres
be
the
working
causes
of
destruction
and
mutation
,
and
the
causes
of
diuers
diseases
in
our
bodies
:
and
whereas
the
obseruation
of
the
celestiall
effects
is
not
forbidden
,
I
will
that
you
take
this
care
,
that
as
well
the
yeerly
directions
,
as
the
figures
of
your
natiuity
be
obserued
,
which
I
haue
diligently
and
exactly
computated
,
I
leaue
to
euery
one
of
you
:
which
notwithstanding
you
shall
examine
without
all
superstition
,
and
shall
be
aduised
by
the
iudgement
of
the
learned
Astrologians
and
Physicians
,
that
you
may
the
better
auoid
the
euill
foreseene
,
and
the
good
things
shall
be
brought
to
their
wished
euent
,
for
that
is
true
which
some
doe
affirme
,
that
coelum
esse
fatalem
picturam
in
coel●sti
tabula
;
and
very
well
was
it
said
by
Hipp.
and
Galen
,
the
Princes
of
Physicians
,
that
the
Arte
of
physicke
,
without
the
supportation
of
the
Heauens
,
to
be
oftentimes
in
vaine
,
yea
also
oftentimes
to
be
hurtfull
.
This
obseruation
doth
profit
very
much
for
the
preseruation
of
the
health
,
and
for
the
preuention
of
diseases
;
therefore
you
must
regard
the
more
your
naturall
inclination
,
with
the
greater
vigilancy
,
that
you
may
bee
the
better
able
to
gouerne
your
manners
,
and
the
euents
of
which
we
are
admonished
by
Astrologers
,
&
which
wee
fore-know
,
wee
may
the
more
easier
beare
.
Auoid
and
decline
them
more
wisely
,
that
you
may
seeme
to
passe
them
ouer
prouidently
and
discreetly
,
without
griefe
or
tediousnesse
:
for
,
free-will
and
election
is
left
to
vs
,
so
farforth
that
by
the
help
of
God
,
a
minde
supported
,
may
be
able
to
resist
the
allurements
of
the
Flesh
and
th●
Deuill
,
to
rule
and
gouerne
the
affections
▪
and
if
some
great
calamitie
against
an●
man
may
be
presaged
and
declared
by
th●
Starres
,
we
may
be
able
to
flye
and
auoid
it
;
notwithstanding
in
which
matter
●
would
that
you
should
regard
the
couns●…
of
honestie
:
for
if
we
may
flye
and
auoid
the
perill
that
hangeth
ouer
our
heads
,
without
shame
,
we
shall
not
refuse
it
,
for
better
is
it
with
honestie
to
die
quickly
,
then
with
shame
to
liue
long
:
therefore
,
we
must
thinke
that
Reason
,
and
the
best
Intellect
,
to
be
gouerned
by
the
Heauens
,
neither
is
the
libertie
of
the
minde
,
and
our
actions
,
restrayned
to
the
necessitie
of
the
Starres
.
Hitherto
in
generall
,
we
haue
briefly
declared
,
by
what
meanes
we
may
defend
vs
from
euills
,
and
diseases
of
euery
kind
:
and
to
defend
vs
from
the
other
destructions
of
our
bodies
,
which
diligence
,
if
the
children
of
God
shall
diligently
inuocate
him
,
they
shall
happily
auoid
them
.
Now
,
that
we
may
follow
our
purpose
,
I
will
entreat
of
those
things
,
which
in
some
manner
resteth
in
our
industrie
,
of
which
if
we
vse
them
rightly
and
lawfully
we
shall
nourish
health
,
and
conserue
it
,
but
otherwise
we
shall
ouerthrow
and
destroy
it
.
CHAP.
III.
Speciall
precepts
of
preseruing
Health
.
THat
we
may
begin
from
the
definition
,
Health
is
a
constitution
of
the
body
,
in
which
wee
are
neither
tormented
with
griefes
,
nor
hindred
in
the
actions
of
our
life
,
for
if
the
body
shall
decline
from
that
constitution
,
it
is
sicknesse
:
to
perserue
health
,
according
to
Rasis
in
Almansore
,
is
in
motion
and
rest
,
meate
&
drinke
,
neither
to
obserue
a
iust
measure
in
superfluities
and
expulsions
,
the
house
and
other
places
wherein
we
liue
,
to
be
made
sweet
with
odors
,
according
as
reason
requireth
,
and
agreeing
with
the
time
,
and
to
meet
with
euill
accidents
before
they
take
their
increase
,
and
to
refraine
voluptuousnesse
and
delightfull
pleasures
,
and
to
conserue
custome
.
Cicero
saith
,
That
health
is
preserued
with
the
knowledge
of
a
mans
owne
body
,
as
well
in
those
things
which
are
wont
to
profit
as
hurt
,
for
in
those
things
in
which
consisteth
conseruation
,
from
them
corruption
springeth
,
for
as
conseruation
is
made
by
the
like
thing
,
so
curation
is
made
by
its
contrary
a
little
otherwise
saith
Isidore
,
where
he
saith
,
Eam
esse
integritatem
corporis
,
&
temperantiam
naturae
ex
calido
&
humido
,
in
quibus
cum
illa
consistit
.
Sequitur
,
qui
plurimum
calidi
&
humidi
habent
,
hos
maximè
esse
longaeuos
:
qui
verò
contrariae
sunt
naturae
,
frigidi
&
sirci
,
hos
citius
senescere
&
mori
.
For
as
healthfull
men
are
gouerned
by
the
foure
Humours
,
so
the
infirme
are
hurt
,
and
when
humours
encrease
more
then
of
equitie
they
should
,
they
bring
forth
sicknesse
:
so
those
that
are
by
nature
onely
grosse
,
do
sooner
die
then
thinner
bodies
,
for
they
haue
little
bloud
and
spirits
.
But
as
the
conseruation
of
health
doth
consist
in
the
order
of
euery
thing
,
being
lawfully
vsed
,
the
iust
qualitie
,
quantitie
,
and
time
being
obserued
,
we
haue
spoken
of
:
Now
of
the
ayre
that
doth
incompasse
our
bodies
,
we
will
speake
of
.
CHAP.
IIII.
Of
the
ayre
.
THe
ayre
by
it selfe
is
hot
and
moyst
,
and
the
attraction
thereof
is
so
necessary
vnto
all
liuing
creatures
,
that
if
the
wayes
of
respiration
bee
intercepted
,
and
occluded
,
they
presently
die
,
and
all
of
vs
haue
experience
,
that
the
constitution
of
the
bodie
is
often
changed
,
eyther
by
the
temperature
or
distemperature
of
the
ayre
:
therefore
we
must
prouide
with
all
our
study
,
to
chuse
the
best
ayre
,
as
much
as
may
be
.
For
that
is
the
best
ayre
which
to
euerie
one
is
natiue
,
for
as
the
Philosopher
saith
,
Vniuscuiusque
locus
naturalis
sui
est
locati
conseruantius
:
besides
,
a
temperate
ayre
,
pure
,
cleare
,
and
thinne
,
which
lyeth
open
,
and
is
free
from
stinkes
,
infection
,
or
putrifaction
;
is
to
be
chosen
.
And
on
the
contrary
,
that
ayre
is
most
bad
and
hurtfull
,
which
is
troublesome
,
cloudie
,
impure
,
stinking
,
showrie
,
putride
,
close
,
which
neither
wind
nor
Sunne
doth
penetrate
,
nor
purge
:
in
like
manner
,
that
is
good
ayre
,
which
taketh
neither
venenosity
,
nor
other
malign●
qualitie
,
through
the
standing
waters
which
in
the
Summer
time
are
corrupte●
with
a
pestilent
ayre
,
or
with
the
vapour
o●
exhalations
,
or
infected
with
foeculent
excretions
:
so
that
ayre
is
most
maliciou●
which
springeth
from
dunghills
,
sincke●…
and
other
pestiferous
places
,
which
dot●
oppresse
the

and
make
a

〈◊〉
breathing
,
which
is
ouer
hot
,
or
ouer
cold
,
for
an
hot
ayre
dissolueth
the
spirits
,
it
generateth
thirst
,
it
diminisheth
the
vitall
faculties
,
and
hindereth
digestion
.
A
cold
ayre
doth
ingender
the
Asthma
and
Catarrhes
:
and
as
this
impure
ayre
doth
vitiat
the
vitall
spirits
,
so
must
wee
be
carefull
by
all
meanes
to
beware
of
it
;
so
then
we
must
draw
an
ayre
that
is
pure
and
temperate
,
for
except
a
good
ayre
be
drawne
in
daily
,
whereby
our
naturall
heat
may
be
ventilated
,
tempered
and
cooled
,
our
health
must
needes
bee
troubled
and
endangered
,
of
which
it
appeareth
,
where
it
is
said
:
Satius
esse
sub
dio
versari
,
quam
Cubiculis
vndique
clausis
immorari
.
It
behooueth
also
for
vs
to
obserue
this
thing
,
that
in
cold
seasons
it
shall
be
fit
to
vse
an
hotte
ayre
,
or
fire
for
hot
things
in
a
cold
time
:
moyst
in
a
drie
,
and
drie
in
a
moist
aire
,
is
chiefely
fitting
and
agreeing
:
also
in
daily
diseases
,
we
see
it
is
sometimes
very
profitable
to
change
the
ayre
,
for
sometimes
change
of
ayre
and
place
doth
recouer
health
that
is
lost
.
But
whereas
the
ayre
oftentimes
is
mooued
and
changed
with
the
windes
,
and
odors
,
for
the
winde
is
no
other
thing
then
the
aire
moued
with
the
stirring
and
prouoking
of
vapours
,
of
which
,
and
of
sweete
smells
,
it
shall
not
be
amisse
somewhat
to
speake
of
.
Of
windes
,
and
sweete
smelling
sauours
.
THe
North-wind
of
al
other
is
accounted
the
best
and
wholesomest
,
and
the
East
doth
challenge
to
it selfe
the
next
place
,
and
what
winde
soeuer
doth
moderately
coole
,
doth
drie
and
make
cleere
our
habitations
:
therefore
it
must
be
towards
the
North
and
East
,
for
the
temperature
of
the
ayre
and
the
wind
;
for
too
much
wind
is
hurtfull
very
much
to
the
sence
,
both
of
the
lungs
,
the
eyes
and
eares
:
but
that
which
attaineth
to
odoraments
,
and
sweet
smells
:
it
is
manifest
,
as
it
were
,
the
ayre
to
bee
nourished
by
the
spirits
,
but
most
quickly
by
odors
the
braine
and
heart
is
strengthened
,
and
the
minde
refreshed
;
which
refreshment
the
body
also
doth
feele
the
pleasure
and
recreation
.
A
naughtie
stinking
ayre
,
is
corrected
and
amended
by
odoraments
and
suffumigations
;
but
there
is
a
very
great
difference
:
for
look
what
ayre
we
draw
in
,
such
and
the
like
spirits
goe
out
from
vs
.
Odors
and
smells
that
are
oner-hot
,
are
not
by
me
approued
,
because
it
filleth
the
head
,
and
ingendreth
the
catarrh
,
for
the
temperature
it selfe
of
the
braine
,
being
a
meane
betweene
hot
and
cold
,
doth
chiefly
reioyce
in
things
that
are
temperate
:
and
on
the
other
side
it
is
much
offended
and
hurt
by
the
contrary
:
therefore
sometimes
those
odors
are
to
be
mixed
and
changed
,
as
if
cold
doth
raigne
,
let
the
odors
decline
to
heat
;
and
if
heat
doth
beare
sway
,
then
frame
that
they
may
be
of
cold
operation
.
Of
Roses
therefore
,
Violets
and
Myrtels
,

,

and
Rose-water

are

peeles
,
Aloes
,
Amber
,
Muske
,
which
are
hot
;
of
which
you
may
vse

your
pleasure
.
Odors
are
not
only
drawne
by
the
nostrills
,
but
there
must
bee
application
to
the
brest
and
stomacke
,
Treacle
,

,
Frankincence
,
Amber
,

,
and
such

,
which
are

to
haue
vertue
against
venome
:
no
lesse
comfort
to
recreate
your
spirits
,
ariseth
out
of
gardens
,
where-hence
ariseth
sweete
smells
and
sauours

CHAP.
V.
Of
Meates
and
Drinks
.
IN
meate
and
drinke
wee
must
consider
these
sixe
things
,
first
,
the
Substance
:
then
the
Quantitie
:
third
,
the
Qualitie
:
fourth
,
Custome
:
fift
,
the
Time
:
and
lastly
,
Order
.
We
must
also
vnderstand
,
that
it
is
best
and
most
wholesome
to
vse
meates
that
be
simple
:
for
meates
that
be
simple
are
most
wholesome
and
profitable
;
but
many
and
sundrie
sorts
of
meates
are
very
vnhealthfull
and
hurtfull
to
our
bodies
:
our
elders
,
which
liued
very
long
,
and
without
sicknesse
,
were
wont
to
eate
at
one
meale
flesh
only
,
and
at
another
bread
only
:
yet
would
I
not
wish
you
(
my
sonnes
)
to
accustome
your selues
to
one
only
meate
,
especially
if
you
be
yong
;
for
Galen
expounding
the
Aphorisme
of
Hipp.
saith
,
That
such
things
as
wee
haue
of
long
time
beene
vsed
to
,
although
they
bee
not
of
the
best
nourishment
,
they
are
not
so
dangerous
as
other
things
which
are
farre
better
,
whereunto
we
haue
not
beene
accustomed
:
wee
must
therefore
now
and
then
alter
our
diet
,
and
vse
to
eate
such
meates
as
before
wee
vsed
not
;
neither
must
we
bind
our selues
to
any
one
kinde
,
lest
we
be
driuen
at
any
time
to
change
our
custome
,
and
so
wee
fall
sicke
presently
thereupon
.
Cornelius
Celsus
,
a
good
Physicion
,
giueth
counsell
,
that
such
as
bee
in
health
,
should
vse
their
ordinarie
fore
,
and
plaine
vsuall
diet
:
and
to
forbeare
much
varietie
of
meats
,
is
best
and
wholesomest
,
because
the
stomack
set
a
work
,
too
too
much
laboureth
,
greatly
in
the
digesture
of
sundry
meates
at
one
time
.
It
is
thought
good
to
mixe
moist
with
drie
things
,
cold
with
hot
,
and
hot
with
cold
;
and
those
meats
which
are
in
the
meane
or
mediocritie
of
all
excesse
,
to
be
most
commendable
:
of
which
sort
,
is
bread
made
of
cleane
corne
,
sufficiently
leauened
and
moderately
baked
.
Also
the
flesh
of
Hens
and
Capons
,
Phesants
,
Partriges
,
Woodcocks
,
yong
Pigeons
,
Blackbirds
,
Thrushes
,
Turtles
,
and
such
like
small
birds
.
In
like
manner
Fishes
bred
amongst
rocks
and
stones
,
or
about
the
sea
side
,
and
such
as
in
taste
are
neither
vnpleasant
and
vnsauourie
,
nor
yet
clammie
and
vnctious
,
of
the
which
we
will
speake
particularly
hereafter
.
Now
in
meats
,
nothing
so
well
encreaseth
good
bloud
,
as
when
they
are
well
digested
,
for
thereby
is
ended
more
easily
the
second
concoction
,
which
is
in
the
veines
and
liuer
,
and
also
admitteth
the
third
digestion
,
which
is
in
the
particular
members
&
parts
which
be
nourished
.
Also
there
bee
some
meats
,
betweene
whom
there
is
but
small
difference
of
digestion
,
as
is
betweene
a
Henne
and
a
sucking
Calfe
,
a
Chicken
and
a
Kid
,
the
flesh
of
an
old
Calfe
and
a
yong
Bullock
:
in
such
respects
as
these
,
where
the
difference
is
so
small
,
it
skilleth
not
greatly
,
if
they
which
be
somewhat
hard
to
digest
,
be
eaten
before
that
which
is
of
lighter
digestion
.
And
this
,
I
suppose
,
was
the
opinion
of
Galen
,
for
heauie
meats
,
and
such
as
bee
slow
of
digestion
,
require
a
stronger
and
greater
power
digestiue
:
therfore
meats
of
easie
digestion
are
first
to
be
taken
,
before
those
which
doe
differ
so
far
from
them
in
easinesse
of
concoction
.
And
also
you
must
take
heede
of
crude
and
raw
meates
,
and
that
the
same
be
both
throughly
boyled
or
rosted
,
but
in
any
wise
beware
of
stuffing
of
your selues
too
much
with
meate
and
drinke
,
nor
to
irritate
and
prouoke
your
appetite
with
delicious
sawces
,
for
meates
excessiuely
eaten
,
although
they
be
of
good
nourishment
,
commonly
they
doe
ingender
crudities
,
lasks
,
and
vomits
.
Againe
,
to
take
lesse
then
necessitie
and
nature
doth
require
,
is
the
cause
why
the
body
is
not
nourished
,
but
weakned
and
made
vnable
to
doe
his
businesse
:
for
euen
as
repletum
hindreth
nourishment
and
hurteth
nature
,
so
all
sorts
of
too
much
abstinence
causeth
vomits
,
hurteth
the
stomack
,
resolueth
the
powers
of
the
body
,
and
increaseth
ill
humours
.
And
euen
as
an
ill
dyet
bringeth
heauinesse
to
the
body
,
and
dulnesse
to
the
senses
,
so
a
good
dyet
refresheth
the
spirits
and
reuiueth
the
minde
,
making
it
more
able
and
actiue
to
know
and
practise
vertues
operations
.
Of
Drinke
.
COncerning
drinke
at
meales
,
it
would
not
be
taken
before
something
hath
beene
eaten
,
&
at
the
beginning
the
drink
would
be
strongest
,
and
so
towards
the
end
more
small
,
if
it
be
Ale
or
Beere
.
And
if
it
be
Wine
,
more
and
more
allayed
with
Water
,
and
the
best
Physicians
hold
,
the
drinke
would
rather
be
mixt
with
the
meate
by
sundrie
small
draughts
,
then
with
one
great
draught
at
the
end
of
the
meale
,
for
the
mixture
tempereth
well
the
meate
without
hindrance
.
A
great
draught
drowneth
the
meate
,
and
hurteth
naturall
heate
,
that
then
worketh
in
concoction
,
and
with
the
weight
driueth
downe
the
meate
ouer-hastily
.
Hot
wines
and
sweet
or
confectioned
with
spices
,
or
very
strong
Ale
or
Beere
is
not
good
at
meales
,
for
thereby
the
meate
is
rather
corrupted
then
digested
,
and
they
make
hot
and
stinking
vapours
to
ascend
vp
to
the
braynes
;
thus
I
suppose
,
I
haue
spoken
enough
of
meate
and
drinke
:
I
will
now
end
with
the
counsell
of
Cornelius
Celsus
,
which
saith
,
that
a
healthfull
man
shall
not
binde
himselfe
to
the
rules
of
physick
or
dyet
,
but
a
man
whose
stomack
is
feeble
,
there
ought
to
be
a
greater
regard
that
the
meate
be
such
,
as
that
either
in
qualitie
or
quantitie
nature
be
not
rebuked
or
to
much
oppressed
.
CHAP.
VI.
Of
Exercise
and
Labour
.
BEcause
a
great
part
of
health
doth
consist
in
●
fit
and
conuenient
exercise
of
the
body
,
as
Auicen
,
Hippocrates
,
and
Galen
,
doe
witnesse
,
it
is
therefore
needfull
to
haue
a
diligent
and
carefull
consideration
thereunto
:
labour
then
or
exercise
is
a
vehement
mouing
,
the
end
whereof
is
the
alteration
of
the
breath
or
winde
of
man
:
of
exercise
doe
proceed
many
commodities
:
And
especially
three
,
the
first
is
hardnesse
and
strength
of
the
members
,
whereby
labour
shall
the
lesse
grieue
,
and
the
body
be
more
strengthned
to
endure
labour
.
And
that
exercise
or
labour
doth
strengthen
the
body
,
as
Galen
witnesseth
in
his
booke
de
Sanitate
tuenda
.
It
is
proued
by
experience
in
labourers
,
who
for
the
most
part
be
stronger
then
men
that
liue
at
ease
,
and
can
endure
greater
toyle
,
as
may
be
obserued
in
the
example
of
Milo
Crotoniatos
,
who
by
the
vse
of
carrying
a
Calfe
euery
day
certayne
furlongs
,
was
able
to
carry
the
same
being
a
Bull.
The
second
commoditie
of
labour
is
,
the
increase
of
heate
,
whereby
hapneth
the
more
alteration
of
things
to
be
digested
;
also
more
quick
alteration
and
better
nourishment
.
The
third
is
more
violence
of
the
breath
or
winde
,
whereby
the
pores
are
cleansed
,
and
the
excrements
of
the
body
naturally
expelled
.
These
things
are
so
necessary
to
the
preseruation
of
health
,
that
without
them
no
man
may
long
be
without
sicknesse
:
for
as
the
flowing
water
doth
not
lightly
corrupt
,
but
that
which
standeth
still
,
euen
so
,
bodies
exercised
are
for
the
most
part
more
helthfull
,
and
such
as
be
idle
more
subiect
to
sicknesse
,
according
to
the
saying
of
the
Poer
Ouid
,
Cernis
vt
ignauum
corrumpant
otia
corpus
,
Vt
capiunt
vitium
ni
moucantur
aquae
.
The
which
thing
also
Cornelius
Celsus
affirmeth
,
where
he
saith
,
Slothfulnesse
dulleth
the
body
,
it
is
strengthned
by
labour
,
the
one
doth
make
vs
soone
old
,
the
other
doth
make
vs
long
yong
.
Notwithstanding
in
exercise
ought
foure
things
to
be
considered
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Time
,
the
things
preceding
the
Qualitie
,
and
the
quantitie
of
exercise
.
As
concerning
the
time
conuenient
to
exercise
in
,
there
ought
foure
things
to
be
diligently
considered
,
first
,
the
time
,
the
things
preceding
the
quality
,
and
the
quantity
of
exercise
.
First
,
as
concerning
the
time
,
that
the
stomacke
and
bowels
be
ouer-burdened
,
and
the
meate
not
digested
,
or
the
humors
crude
or
rawe
,
lest
thereby
perill
might
follow
by
their
conueyance
into
all
the
members
.
Galen
doth
say
,
that
the
time
most
fit
for
exercise
,
is
when
both
the
first
and
second
digestion
is
fulfilled
,
as
well
in
the
stomacke
as
in
the
veines
,
and
that
a
desire
of
eating
doth
draw
neere
:
for
if
the
exercise
be
sooner
or
later
,
the
bodie
shall
eyther
be
filled
with
raw
and
crude
humors
,
or
else
yellow
choller
shall
be
encreased
.
The
knowledge
of
this
time
is
well
known
by
the
colour
of
the
Vrine
,
for
that
which
is
like
vnto
cleare
water
,
sheweth
that
the
Iuyce
which
commeth
from
the
stomacke
,
is
crude
&
raw
in
the
veines
:
that
which
is
wel
coloured
,
neither
too
high
or
too
low
,
sheweth
that
the
second
digestion
is
performed
perfectly
:
where
the
colour
is
very
high
or
red
,
it
declareth
the
concoction
is
too
much
.
Wherefore
,
when
the
Vrine
appeareth
in
a
temperate
colour
,
neither
too
red
nor
too
pale
,
but
as
it
were
,
gilt
,
then
should
we
begin
our
exercise
.
CHAP.
VII
.
Of
Sleepe
and
Watch.
THe
commodities
of
moderate
sleepe
,
doe
appeare
by
this
,
that
naturall
heate
which
is
busied
about
the
matter
,
whereof
proceedeth
nourishment
,
is
comforted
in
the
places
of
digestion
,
and
so
the
digestion
is
made
better
and
more
perfect
by
sleepe
,
the
body
is
fatter
,
and
the
minde
more
quiet
,
the
humors
more
temperate
.
But
by
much
watch
all
things
happen
the
cleane
contrary
.
The
moderation
of
sleepe
must
be
measured
by
health
and
sicknesse
,
by
age
,
time
,
emptinesse
,
or
fulnesse
of
the
bodie
,
and
by
naturall
complexions
:
as
first
to
a
man
in
health
,
hauing
no
weaknesse
of
nature
,
and
a
perfect
digesture
of
the
meat
he
eateth
,
a
little
sleepe
is
sufficient
,
but
to
them
which
haue
weak
stomakes
,
the
sleep
may
be
the
longer
.
In
like
manner
,
temperance
is
required
both
in
youth
and
age
at
all
seasons
,
winter
and
Summer
.
The
body
being
full
of
ill
humors
,
very
little
sleepe
is
sufficient
,
except
the
humors
be
crude
and
raw
,
for
then
sleepe
is
necessary
,
which
digesteth
them
better
then
labour
.
In
like
manner
,
where
the
bodie
is
long
empty
,
by
long
sicknes
or
abstinence
,
sleep
comforteth
nature
as
well
in
the
principal
members
,
as
in
al
the
other
.
As
for
the
length
of
sleep
,
al
Authors
do
agree
,
that
to
strong
bodies
,
seuen
houres
in
the
night
is
sufficient
,
and
to
those
that
are
weaker
,
eight
houres
is
enough
at
the
most
.
Plato
in
Timaeo
,
saith
,
When
the
world
shutteth
vp
her
eye
,
we
should
also
close
vp
our
eyes
:
the
eye
of
the
world
is
the
Sunne
,
therefore
sleepe
is
not
long
to
be
deferred
after
the
Sunne
setting
,
neither
presently
after
supper
can
sleepe
be
wholesome
,
for
as
Galen
saith
in
lib.
Aphorismorum
,
à
cibis
ad
som
num
conuersis
,
caput
impletur
.
Moreouer
,
immoderate
sleepe
maketh
the
bodie
apt
to
Palsies
,
Apoplexies
,
Falling-sicknesse
,
Rhumes
and
Apostumes
:
also
it
maketh
a
dull
wit
,
and
a
slow
bodie
,
and
vnapt
to
honest
exercise
:
as
also
immoderate
watch
drieth
too
much
the
bodie
,
and
doth
weaken
the
Animal
powers
,
hindreth
digestion
,
and
maketh
the
body
apt
to
consumptions
.
Wherefore
,
in
these
two
things
,
as
well
as
all
other
,
a
diligent
care
is
to
be
vsed
,
the
moderation
is
best
coniected
(
for
it
is
hard
perfectly
to
know
it
)
by
the
sensible
lightnesse
of
all
the
bodie
,
especially
of
the
braine
,
the
browes
,
and
the
eyes
,
the
passage
downe
of
the
meat
from
the
stomake
,
the
will
to
make
Vrine
,
and
to
goe
to
the
stoole
:
contrariwise
heauines
in
the
bodie
,
and
also
in
the
eyes
,
&
sauour
of
the
mean
before
eaten
,
doth
signifie
that
the
sleepe
was
not
sufficient
.
They
that
are
in
health
,
must
first
sleepe
on
the
right
side
,
because
the
meate
may
come
to
the
liuer
,
which
is
to
the
stomack
as
a
fire
vnder
the
pot
,
and
thereby
is
digested
.
To
them
which
haue
but
weake
digestion
,
it
is
good
to
sleepe
prostrate
on
their
bellies
,
or
to
haue
their
pare
hands
on
their
stomackes
,
and
to
lye
vpright
on
the
backe
,
is
to
bee
vtterly
abhorred
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Of
Accidents
and
Affections
of
the
minde
.
THose
things
being
alreadie
declared
,
by
the
which
the
health
of
the
body
is
to
be
preserued
:
I
will
now
proceed
to
the
Physike
of
the
minde
:
for
as
the
perturbations
of
the
minde
doe
follow
the
passions
of
the
bodie
,
as
wee
may
see
and
behold
in
drunkards
,
as
Horace
saith
,
—
nam
corpus
onustum
Hesternis
vitijs
animum
quoque
praegrauat
ipsum
Atque
affligit
humi
aiuinae
particulam
aurae
.
So
on
the
other
side
,
the
body
is
affected
from
the
passions
of
the
minde
,
and
is
said
therewith
to
consent
,
as
is
manifest
in
the
affects
of
loue
and
sorow
.
And
seeing
therfore
the
passions
of
the
minde
,
and
bodie
,
are
so
conioined
and
linked
together
with
a
naturall
band
,
we
must
as
Auicen
saith
,
haue
a
diligent
care
to
our
minde
,
if
we
desire
to
auoid
diseases
,
which
also
Galen
held
before
him
,
saying
,
that
wee
must
abstaine
from
the
intemperance
and
deformity
of
all
the
passions
and
affections
of
the
mind
:
anger
and
sorrow
,
furiousnesse
and
feare
,
enuy
and
thought
,
do
alienate
and
bring
a
man
from
the
vse
of
reason
,
and
do
greatly
transforme
him
from
the
state
and
order
,
that
is
according
to
nature
,
for
moderate
mirth
helpeth
very
much
to
accomplish
all
the
offices
and
functions
of
the
minde
,
to
further
and
make
excellent
the
concoction
.
As
on
the
contrary
,
sorrow
and
heauinesse
is
the
greatest
hinderance
and
let
to
it
:
beware
therefore
of
heauinesse
and
desperation
,
for
as
Salomon
saith
,
Spiritus
tristis
exiccat
ossa
:
cor
laetum
exhilerat
mentem
.
Therefore
giue
your selues
to
honest
mirth
and
Christianlike
ioy
:
for
as
Auicen
saith
,
the
often
vse
of
mirth
disposeth
a
man
to
be
merry
,
and
thereof
commeth
no
small
profit
,
but
commodities
very
many
.
Sorrow
also
is
so
great
an
Enemie
to
nature
and
bodily
health
,
that
to
resist
the
malice
and
the
violence
thereof
,
remedies
as
well
out
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
as
examples
out
of
moral
Philosophie
are
needful
.
Also
there
be
certayne
herbs
,
fruits
,
and
spices
,
that
haue
the
propertie
to
resist
melancholy
,
and
to
comfort
the
liuely
spirits
.
Such
are
simples
that
do
comfort
the
heart
and
spirits
:
as
for
example
,
the
beholding
of
fayre
shewes
and
things
that
are
beautifull
,
the
hearing
of
melodious
musicke
,
smelling
of
sweet
sauours
and
fragrant
odors
,
such
as
in
the
Summer
,
the
smell
of
Rose-water
;
and
in
Winter
with
the
smell
of
Lignum
Aloes
,
which
doth
comfort
the
heart
and
the
brayne
,
and
all
the
other
senses
very
much
.
But
beware
of
too
hot
and
sharpe
sauours
,
for
they
send
vapours
to
the
brayne
.
The
tasting
,
as
that
which
is
confected
of
Sugar
,
and
the
iuyce
of
Pomegranates
,
of
Quinces
,
or
some
other
of
like
temperature
,
being
not
harmefull
,
neither
exceeding
in
the
excesse
of
any
qualitie
.
CHAP.

.
Of
Ioy
.
IOy
or
gladnesse
of
heart
doth
prolong
the
life
,
it
maketh
the
body
fat
,
that
is
growne
leane
with
care
and
trouble
:
And
looke
what
effect
hapneth
by
sorrow
,
the
same
hapneth
by
suddaine
ioy
.
And
Valerius
Maximus
reporteth
,
that
a
Woman
of
Rome
dyed
with
suddayne
ioy
.
This
being
considered
,
we
must
auoyd
such
extraordinarie
gladnesse
and
suddayne
ioy
.
And
we
must
remember
that
there
is
nothing
in
this
world
can
reioyce
vs
so
much
,
but
that
some
occasion
or
other
may
cause
the
same
to
be
displeasant
vnto
vs
.
CHAP.
X.
Of
Venus
or
the
act
of
generation
.
NOw
that
I
haue
spoken
of
Labour
,
Meate
,
Drinke
,
and
Sleepe
,
it
now
resteth
that
I
speake
somewhat
of
the
act
of
Generation
,
which
delectation
must
be
well
measured
by
a
meane
:
for
if
it
doe
exceed
and
be
vsed
intemperately
,
it
doth
resolue
the
spirits
and
naturall
heate
about
measure
,
and
dryeth
vp
the
radicall
moysture
,
and
so
dangerous
diseases
happen
to
man
sooner
,
then
otherwise
by
nature
they
would
:
Therefore
,
seeing
in
the
act
of
Generation
there
is
so
great
resolution
of
Spirits
,
the
excesse
thereof
is
carefully
to
be
auoyded
,
neuerthelesse
great
regard
must
bee
had
of
custome
.
The
commodities
that
come
by
moderate
evacuation
are
great
,
for
it
procureth
appetite
to
meate
,
and
helpeth
digestion
,
it
maketh
the
body
more
light
and
nimble
,
it
purgeth
flegme
,
it
quickneth
the
minde
,
it
refresheth
the
wit
,
reneweth
the
senses
,
and
driueth
away
sadnesse
,
madnesse
,
anger
,
melancholy
:
finally
,
it
doth
deliuer
vs
altogether
from
leacherous
imaginations
,
and
nightly
pollutions
,
which
although
some
men
suppose
that
there
is
no
offence
thereby
,
because
of
the
abundance
of
nature
,
yet
let
vs
consider
what
is
said
in
Deuter.
cap.
23.
If
there
be
amongst
you
any
that
is
vncleane
,
by
that
which
commeth
from
him
by
night
,
he
shall
goe
out
of
the
Hoast
,
and
shall
not
enter
into
the
Hoast
:
but
for
this
matter
let
euery
man
vse
all
honest
and
lawfull
meanes
,
to
suppresse
the
violent
force
and
fury
of
his
burning
lust
.
Also
if
a
man
will
abstayne
from
meates
that
be
hot
and
windie
,
and
the
drinking
of
sweet
headie
wines
,
and
auoyd
the
imaginations
of
Venus
and
such
like
,
he
shall
not
easily
be
much
assailed
and
tempted
with
the
desire
of
any
carnall
appetite
;
likewise
if
he
earnestly
apply
himselfe
to
the
study
of
the
holy
Scriptures
,
and
morall
Phylosophie
,
banishing
idlenesse
,
and
flie
the
company
of
beautiful
and
amorous
Women
,
he
shal
easily
auoyd
the
desire
of
lustfull
concupiscence
.
Moreouer
,
there
be
also
other
meanes
to
ouer-come
carnall
lust
,
mentioned
in
Galen
,
as
to
anoynt
the
reynes
with
some
cooling
oyntment
made
of
waxe
,
oyle
of
Roses
,
and
the
iuyce
of
some
cooling
herb
,
as
House-leeke
,
Lettuce
,
Purslane
,
Nightshade
or
plates
of
Lead
,
applyed
vpon
the
reynes
,
or
else
Agnus
castus
,
or
to
eate
daily
the
seede
thereof
,
or
the
seede
of
Rue
,
or
the
herbs
themselues
.
Also
Arnoldus
giueth
counsell
,
If
thou
wilt
quench
the
heat
of
lust
,
anoynt
the
genitories
with
the
iuyce
of
Rue
or
Persly
,
or
drinke
the
iuyce
of
those
herbs
.
Also
to
smell
oftentimes
to
Camphire
,
is
good
for
the
same
purpose
,
&
to
sit
vpon
the
very
cold
eart
〈◊〉
or
a
cold
stone
,
also
to
plunge
the
members
in
cold
water
or
in
strong
vineger
,
&
therewith
to
wash
the
reynes
of
the
backe
and
about
the
lower
part
of
the
belly
.
And
to
end
this
discourse
of
Venery
,
flie
idlenesse
,
the
greatest
occasion
of
lechery
,
for
as
the
Poet
saith

CHAP.

Certayne
precepts
for
dyet
to
be
obserued
euery
day
.
HItherto
wee
haue
spoken
of
those
things
and
their
lawfull
vse
,
which
things
,
if
they
be
not
rightly
vsed
,
they
do
alter
and
change
the
body
,
and
ouerthrow
the
naturall
state
thereof
;
I
will
now
deliuer
certayne
precepts
of
the
order
of
dyet
to
be
kept
for
euery
day
,
weekes
,
moneths
,
and
yeeres
,
and
first
I
will
begin
with
the
dyet
for
euery
day
.
In
the
beginning
when
you
arise
from
the
bed
,
extend
forth
all
your
members
,
for
by
this
meanes
the
animal
spirits
are
drawne
to
the
outward
members
,
the
braine
is
made
subtill
,
&
the
body
strengthened
.
Then
rubbe
the
whole
body
somewhat
with
the
palmes
,
the
brest
,
back
and
belly
gently
,
but
the
armes
&
legs
with
the
hands
,
either
with
warme
linnen
:
next
,
the
head
is
to
be
scrubbed
from
the
fore
part
to
the
hinder
part
very
lightly
.
After
you
are
risen
,
I
will
that
you
defend
with
all
care
and
diligence
your
head
,
necke
,
and
feete
from
all
cold
in
the
morning
;
for
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
in
the
morning
and
euening
the
cold
doth
offend
more
,
then
it
doth
about
noone
tide
,
by
reason
of
the
weaknes
of
the
Sunne-beames
.
Put
on
your
clothes
neate
and
cleane
:
in
the
Summer
season
,
first
wash
with
cleane
pure
water
,
before
described
;
but
in
the
Winter
season
sit
somewhat
by
the
fire
,
not
made
with
turfe
or
stinking
coale
,
but
with
oake
or
other
wood
that
burneth
cleare
,
for
our
bodies
are
somewhat
affected
with
our
clothes
,
and
as
strength
is
encreased
by
the
vse
of
meat
and
drinke
,
and
our
life
defended
and
preserued
;
euen
so
our
garments
doe
conserue
the
heate
of
our
bodies
,
and
doe
driue
away
colds
:
so
that
as
diet
and
apparel
may
seeme
alike
,
so
in
eyther
of
them
a
like
diligence
is
to
be
preferred
.
In
the
Summer-time
I
chiefly
comme●…
garments
of
Harts-skinnes
,
and
Calues-skinnes
,
for
the
Hart
is
a
creature
of
long
life
,
and
resisteth
poyson
and
Serpents
;
therfore
I
my selfe
vse
garments
of
the
like
sort
for
the
winter
season
,
also
,
neuertheles
lined
with
good
linnen
.
Next
,
I
doe
,
iudge
it
not
to
bee
much
amisse
to
vse
garments
of
Silke
or
Bombace
,
or
of
purple
;
also
of
Martyn
or
Wolfe-skinnes
,
or
made
of
Fox
skinnes
,
I
suppose
to
be
good
for
the
winter
;
notwithstanding
in
the
time
of
Pestilence
,
apparell
of
Silke
and
skinnes
is
condemned
,
because
it
doth
easily
admit
and
receiue
the
contagious
ayre
,
and
doth

therewith
wash

being
shut

Also
to
prosecute
our
former
purpose
,
when
you
arise
in
the
morning
,
to
auoide
all
superfluities
,
as
well
by
vrine
as
by
the
belly
,
which
doe
at
the
least
once
euery
day
.
Auoid
also
from
the
nostrills
and
the
lungs
all
filthy
matter
,
as
wel
by
cleansing
,
as
by
spittle
,
and
cleanse
the
face
,
head
and
whole
bodie
;
&
loue
you
to
be
cleane
and
well
apparelled
,
for
from
our
cradles
let
vs
abhor
vncleannes
,
which
neither
nature
or
reason
can
endure
.
When
you
haue
done
these
things
,
remember
to
powre
foorth
your
praiers
vnto
God
with
a
cleare
voice
,
that
the
day
may
be
happie
&
prosperous
vnto
you
,
that
God
may
direct
your
actions
to
the
glory
of
his
name
,
the
profit
of
your
Country
,
&
the
conseruation
of
your
bodies
.
The

yee
gently

&
what
excrements
soeuer
do
slip
down
to
the
inferiour
parts
,
being
excited
by
naturall
heate
,
the
excretion
thereof
shall
the
better
succeed
.
As
for
your
businesses
,
whether
they
be
publike
or
priuate
,
let
them
be
done
with
a
certain
honesty
,
then
afterwards
let
your
hunting
iourneyes
bee
performed
:
apply
your selues
to
studie
and
serious
businesse
the
houres
of
the
fore-noone
,
and
so
likewise
in
the
afternoone
,
till
two
or
three
houres
before
supper
,
alwaies
in
your
hands
vse
eyther
Corall
or
yellow
Amber
,
or
a
Chalcedonium
,
or
a
sweet
Pommander
,
or
some
like
precious
stone
to
be
worne
in
a
ring
vpon
the
little
finger
of
the
left
hand
;
haue
in
your
rings
eyther
a
Smaragd
,
a
Saphire
,
or
a
Draconites
,
which
you
shall
beare
for
an
ornament
;
for
in
stones
,
as
also
in
hearbes
,
there
is
great
efficacie
and
vertue
,
but
they
are
not
altogether
perceiued
by
vs
:
hold
sometime
in
your
mouth
eyther
a
Hyacinth
,
or
a
Crystall
,
or
a
Granat
,
or
pure
Gold
,
or
Siluer
,
or
else
sometimes
pure
Suger-candy
.
For
Aristotle
doth
affirme
,
and
so
doth
Albertus
Magnus
,
that
a
Smaragd
worne
about
the
necke
,
is
good
against
the
Falling-sicknes
:
for
surely
the
vertue
of
an
hearbe
is
great
,
but
much
more
the
vertue
of
a
precious
stone
,
which
is
very
likely
that
they
are
endued
with
occult
and
hidden
vertues
.
Feede
onely
twice
a
day
,
when
yee
are
at
mans
age
;
neuerthelesse
to
those
that
are
subiect
to
choler
,
it
is
lawfull
to
feede
often
:
beginne
alwayes
your
dinner
and
supper
with
the
more
liquid
meates
,
sometimes
with
drinkes
.
In
the
time
betweene
dinner
and
supper
,
abstain
altogether
from
cups
,
vnlesse
necessitie
or
custome
doe
require
the
same
;
notwithstanding
the
same
custome
being
so
vicious
,
must
be
by
little
and
little
changed
.
I
would
not
that
you
should
obserue
a
certaine
houre
,
eyther
for
dinners
or
suppers
,
as
I
haue
sufficiently
told
you
before
,
lest
that
daily
custome
should
be
altered
into
nature
:
and
after
this
intermission
of
this
custome
of
nature
,
hurt
may
follow
;
for
custome
doth
imitate
nature
,
and
that
which
is
accustomable
,
the
very
same
thing
is
now
become
naturall
.
Take
your
meate
in
the
hotte
time
of
Summer
in
cold
places
,
but
in
the
Winter
let
there
bee
a
bright
fire
,
and
take
it
in
hotte
places
,
your
parlours
or
chambers
being
first
purged
and
ayred
with
suffumigations
,
which
I
would
not
haue
you
to
enter
before
the
suffumigation
be
plainely
extinct
,
lest
you
draw
the
fume
by
reason
of
the
odour
.
And
seeing
one
and
the
same
order
of
diet
doth
not
promiscuously
agree
with
al
men
:
take
your
meat
in
order
,
as
is
before
said
,
and
sometimes
also
intermit
the
vse
of
meats
for
a
whole
day
together
,
because
through
hunger
,
the
faults
of
the
stomack
which
haue
beene
taken
eyther
by
much
drinking
or
surfetting
,
or
by
any
other
meanes
,
may
be
depelled
and
remoued
.
By
this
meanes
also
your
bodies
shal
be
better
accustomed
to
endure
and
suffer
hunger
and
fasting
,
eyther
in
iourneyes
or
wars
.
Let
your
suppers
bee
more
larger
then
your
dinners
,
vnlesse
nightly
diseases
or
some
distillations
doe
afflict
you
.
After
meat
taken
,
neither
labor
in
body
nor
mind
must
be
vsed
,
and
wash
the
face
and
mouth
with
cold
water
,
cleanse
the
teeth
either
with
Iuory
,
or
of
a
Harts
horn
,
or
some
picker
of
pure
siluer
or
gold
.
After
your
banquets
,
passe
an
houre
or
two
in
pleasant
talkes
,
or
walke
yee
very
gently
and
soberly
,
neither
vse
much
watchings
long
in
the
night
,
but
the
space
of
two
houres
goe
to
your
bed
;
but
if
honest
busines
doe
require
you
to
watch
,
then
sleepe
afterwards
so
much
the
longer
,
that
your
sleep
may
well
recompence
your
former
watchings
.
Before
that
you
goe
to
your
bed
,
gently
smooth
down
your
head
,
armes
,
and
shoulders
,
the
backe
and
all
the
bodie
,
with
a
gentle
and
soft
rubbing
,
vnlesse
you
meane
to
do
it
in
the
morning
to
moue
distribution
,
whose
time
is
best
to
be
done
in
the
morning
.
In
the
Winter
sitting
by
the
fire
,
put
off
your
garments
and
drie
your
feete
by
the
sire
,
neuerthelesse
auoid
the
heate
and
the
smoake
,
because
it
is
very
hurtfull
both
to
the
lungs
and
the
eyes
.
In
the
Winter
time
warme
well
your
garments
at
the
fire
,
and
warme
the
linings
of
the
same
,
for
it
helpeth
concoction
,
and
remoueth
all
humiditie
and
moysture
.
But
my
father
did
not
allow
of
this
custome
,
warning
men
of
strength
,
and
those
that
are
borne
for
the
Common-wealth
,
not
to
accustome
themselues
to
such
kind
of
softnesse
,
which
doe
weaken
our
bodies
.
Also
when
you
put
off
your
garments
to
goe
to
bed
,
then
put
away
all
your
waighty
cogitations
,
and
lay
them
aside
,
whether
they
〈◊〉
publike
or
priuate
,
for
when
all
your
members
be
free
from
all
cares
,
you
shal●
then
sleepe
the
quieter
,
concoction
and
the
other
naturall
actions
shall
best
bee
performed
.
But
in
the
morning
when
you
rise
againe
,
resume
to
your selues
your
forme
dayes
thoughts
and
cares
,
for
this
precep
my
Father
had
often
in
his
mouth
,
there fore
I
deliuer
it
vnto
you
,
as
the
mo●…
worthy
of
your
obseruation
.
Certayne
precepts
against
Heate
and
Drynesse
.
EUen
as
cold
is
hurtfull
to
trauailers
,
so
is
heat
also
,
for
thereby
trauailers
be
offended
,
for
it
hapneth
by
the
want
of
moysture
,
and
aboundant
heate
,
for
when
too
much
heat
doth
infest
trauailers
,
they
doe
thereby
often-times
grow
into
sicknesse
,
and
the
natural
moysture
&
strength
is
dissolued
.
Therefore
my
aduice
is
,
first
when
you
trauell
,
not
to
vse
much
vociferation
or
talke
,
for
thereby
is
wont
to
be
drawne
thirst
and
drynesse
,
against
which
detayne

the
mouth

taken

out
of

earth
and
chawed
,
or
the
drinking
of

quencheth
the
thirst
,
also
new
ligs
doe
mitigate
thirstinesse
,
and
coole

:

in

In
which

we
are
in

and

.
Therefore
I
would
aduise
you
,
to
haue
regard
to
the
change
of
those
times
,
and
to
vse
all
meanes
to
preserue

as
much
as
may
be
