it
,
Tobacco
,
though
it
be
in
taste
,
biting
,
and
in
temperature
,
hote
,
hath
notwithstanding
a
benumming
qualitie
;
which
,
because
it
cannot
depend
of
an
extreame
colde
qualitie
,
the
hearbe
being
very
euidently
hot
,
it
followeth
,
that
it
is
hot
and
benumming
,
not
benumming
by
reason
of
its
temperature
,
but
through
the
propertie
of
its
substance
.
There
is
in
the
iuyce
of
this
hearb
an
excellent
digesting
,
mundifying
,
and
consolidating
facultie
;
by
meanes
whereof
,
it
is
of
ineffable
force
for
the
speedy
curing
of
any
wound
or
cut
in
the
flesh
,
or
soares
,
vlcers
,
scabbes
,
&c.
for
which
it
is
worthy
of
very
great
esteeme
,
and
not
much
for
any
other
propertie
to
be
magnified
and
respected
(
as
I
conceiue
.
)
And
thus
much
briefly
concerning
the
nature
of
Tobacco
.
Before
I
passe
to
deliuer
mine
opinion
concerning
the
vse
and
faculties
of
the
fume
,
Insensiles
,
without
sense
.
But
let
it
be
admitted
,
that
vpon
taking
of
the
fume
,
they
find
not
those
malignant
effects
;
yet
it
convinceth
not
my
assertion
,
because
that
by
long
vse
and
custome
,
it
becommeth
familiar
to
their
bodies
.
And
thus
much
by
the
way
to
our
licentious
Tobacconists
,
who
spend
and
consume
,
not
onely
their
time
,
but
also
their
health
,
wealth
,
and
wittes
,
in
taking
of
this
loathsome
and
vnsauourie
fume
.
Now
I
come
to
speake
of
the
smoakie
fume
and
faculties
thereof
,
which
is
taken
through
a
pipe
,
for
that
purpose
,
into
the
mouth
,
and
thrust
foorth
againe
at
the
nostrills
,
and
is
of
some
also
sucked
into
the
stomacke
and
breast
,
against
all
diseases
,
especially
such
as
are
gotten
by
cold
,
or
that
proceed
from
a
cold
and
moist
cause
.
The
Indians
,
First
they
took
the
dried
leaues
of
Tobacco
,
and
cast
them
on
the
coales
,
then
they
receiued
the
smoake
of
them
at
their
mouth
and
nose
with
a
kane
,
and
continued
the
taking
thereof
so
long
,
till
that
they
fell
into
a
drunken
traunce
and
sleepe
,
wherein
they
continued
as
dead
three
or
foure
houres
,
according
to
the
quantity
of
smoake
that
they
had
taken
.
The
fume
hauing
done
his
worke
,
they
awakened
out
of
their
sleepe
,
and
found
themselues
eased
and
lightened
,
in
such
sort
,
as
that
they
were
able
to
returne
to
their
labour
or
exercises
,
as
lustily
as
before
:
and
this
they
did
alwayes
when
they
found
themselues
wearied
,
or
were
(
as
I
haue
said
)
desirous
to
fore-know
,
what
might
be
the
successe
of
their
businesse
,
by
meanes
of
the
vaine
dreames
and
visious
,
which
this
fume
suggesteth
.
But
this
custome
of
taking
the
fume
,
hath
so
far
bewitched
them
(
as
also
it
hath
and
daily
doth
many
of
our
people
)
as
that
they
also
often-times
,
take
it
for
wantonnesse
and
delight
,
wherein
they
haue
so
great
a
pleasure
,
as
that
they
desire
nothing
more
then
to
make
themselues
drunken
and
drowsie
with
Tobacco
.
And
thus
much
for
the
originall
of
the
fume
.
I
will
now
leaue
the
Americans
,
and
come
to
our
Europeans
,
who
(
well-neare
)
vse
the
fume
of
Tobacco
with
as
much
excesse
as
they
doe
.
Many
of
our
people
,
and
that
of
all
sorts
,
doe
greatly
affect
the
taking
of
Tobacco
;
but
few
of
them
respect
whether
it
be
profitable
to
their
bodies
:
for
most
take
it
,
rather
for
custome
and
delight
,
to
entertaine
and
passe
away
the
time
,
then
for
any
such
necessitie
or
vtilitie
that
they
haue
of
it
:
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
some
iudge
very
hardely
of
Tobaccoes
fume
,
and
vtterly
disclaime
the
vse
thereof
.
In
consideration
whereof
,
I
was
moued
to
publish
this
Treatise
,
shewing
therein
the
faculties
and
right
vse
of
the
fume
of
some
(
as
I
know
)
greatly
desired
,
and
withall
,
taxing
the
ignorance
,
or
rather
petulancie
of
many
,
that
in
these
daies
doe
take
it
without
any
respect
had
of
the
time
,
age
,
or
constitution
.
A
worke
(
I
hope
)
no
lesse
pleasing
,
then
profitable
.
For
mine
owne
part
,
I
confesse
,
that
though
I
am
in
no
wise
delighted
with
the
fume
of
Tobacco
,
partly
for
the
malignitie
of
its
nature
,
but
especially
,
because
of
the
detestable
sauour
or
smacke
that
it
leauerh
behinde
vpon
the
taking
of
it
:
yet
I
doe
not
altogether
condemne
the
vse
thereof
(
for
I
sometimes
in
case
of
necessitie
,
as
when
I
am
afflicted
with
rheumes
,
take
it
my selfe
,
especially
prepared
,
as
I
will
heereafter
shew
)
but
rather
approoue
it
as
necessarie
and
profitable
for
the
rheumaticke
,
and
such
as
are
by
temperature
,
colde
,
so
as
it
be
taken
in
congruent
maner
,
that
is
,
both
moderately
and
seasonsbly
,
as
shall
be
heereafter
shewed
,
for
it
helpeth
the
braine
that
is
ouer
cold
and
moist
,
As
touching
the
taking
of
the
fume
downe
into
the
stomacke
and
lungs
,
Now
that
which
hath
been
spoken
concerning
the
vse
of
this
fume
,
is
not
so
precisely
to
be
taken
,
as
that
it
is
at
no
time
lawfull
or
convenient
for
such
as
are
not
by
nature
rheumaticke
,
or
colde
by
constitution
to
vse
it
:
for
it
is
sometimes
allowable
for
euery
one
,
except
for
him
that
hath
a
drie
distemperature
of
the
braine
,
to
take
this
fume
by
way
of
prevention
.
For
example
sake
,
if
anie
one
hauing
not
a
drie
constitution
of
the
braine
,
shall
trauell
,
or
take
a
iourney
in
mistie
,
stormie
,
and
raynie
weather
,
especially
in
the
winter
season
,
I
say
,
that
it
is
expedient
for
him
,
although
hee
bee
not
rheumaticke
,
or
of
a
colde
temperature
to
take
three
or
foure
draughts
of
this
fume
so
soone
as
hee
shall
be
entred
into
his
house
or
Inne
,
for
the
preventing
of
rheumes
,
or
other
harmes
that
may
chaunce
to
him
by
meanes
of
the
grossenesse
or
impuritie
of
the
aire
.
But
mee
thinkes
I
heare
many
that
are
not
by
nature
rheumaticke
,
Heere
also
some
,
I
know
,
which
are
delighted
with
the
drinking
downe
of
this
fume
,
that
I
may
so
speake
,
I
〈…〉
shall
againe
vrge
to
shunne
these
disco●●●●ities
,
and
maintaine
another
custome
no
lesse
pernicious
,
that
they
will
take
the
fume
about
three
or
foure
houres
after
meate
,
when
the
concoction
is
effected
,
for
deturbing
or
driuing
downe
the
reliques
of
the
meates
,
and
crudities
that
shall
be
in
the
stomacke
,
I
would
haue
them
to
know
,
that
the
hurt
will
be
farre
greater
then
the
profite
:
for
besides
that
,
in
this
they
peruert
the
operation
of
Nature
,
they
greatly
also
annoy
the
lungs
,
disturbe
and
infringe
the
spirits
,
corrupt
the
breath
,
and
destroy
the
languifying
facultie
of
the
liuer
.
I
maruell
verily
at
the
madnesse
of
these
men
.
For
,
what
is
there
in
the
fume
that
should
so
greatly
occasion
delight
?
Not
the
smell
,
because
it
is
vnpleasant
,
much
lesse
the
savour
,
for
it
is
stincking
and
fuliginous
.
Besides
these
idle
affectors
of
Tobacco
,
there
are
also
some
who
are
graue
and
seemingly
wise
and
iudicious
,
that
take
it
moderately
,
and
most
commonly
at
fixed
times
;
but
with
its
proper
adiunct
,
which
(
as
they
doe
suppose
)
is
a
cuppe
of
Sacke
,
and
this
they
thinke
to
be
no
bad
physicke
;
nay
,
they
so
relie
vppon
this
sacred
medicine
,
as
the
most
of
them
become
detractors
both
of
physicke
and
Physicians
,
for
which
cause
they
shall
not
passe
without
my
taxe
.
As
for
Sacke
,
it
is
without
all
controversie
,
very
helpefull
,
comfortable
and
agreeable
to
mans
nature
,
as
I
haue
shewed
in
my
Booke
which
is
entituled
,
Via
recta
ad
vitam
long
am
,
of
this
yeares
Impression
:
Tobacco
is
not
so
,
but
rather
oftentimes
hurtfull
,
especially
if
it
be
no
iudiciously
vsed
.
But
,
whether
Sacke
be
good
to
be
taken
vpon
Tobacco
,
I
will
hereafter
(
notwithstanding
these
detractors
,
for
the
good
of
others
)
demonstrate
.
As
for
these
Cynicke
detractors
(
for
such
you
shall
finde
most
of
them
to
be
)
[
a
](A14326-e540-b)
a
There
is
also
no
other
reason
why
very
many
of
our
people
,
in
their
sickenesse
,
expose
their
bodies
to
be
corrupted
,
I
cannot
say
cured
,
to
ignorant
vsurping
Po●icaries
,
and
other
base
illiterated
Emperickes
,
who
are
(
contrary
to
the
Lawes
)
euery
where
permitted
to
exercise
Physicke
,
to
the
dishonour
of
God
,
disgrace
to
the
Facultie
,
hurt
of
our
People
,
and
shame
of
our
Nation
,
I
must
tell
them
,
that
this
their
absurditie
proceedeth
from
their
ignorance
of
the
great
and
admirable
mysteries
of
the
noble
Art
of
Physick
;
or
for
that
they
are
slaues
to
their
purses
,
and
therfore
seeke
not
in
their
necessities
,
physicke-helpes
,
and
counsaile
from
such
as
are
learned
in
that
facultie
;
or
else
,
it
is
because
they
deeme
all
expense
lost
,
besides
that
which
adornes
the
backe
,
or
oblectate
the
pallate
and
throat
.
And
so
I
leaue
these
to
their
physicke
,
and
the
common
Tobacconists
to
their
sleeping
betweene
the
Pot
and
the
Pipe
,
and
come
now
againe
to
shew
the
right
vse
of
Tobacco
.
Although
it
be
apparent
,
by
that
which
hath
beene
hitherto
deliuered
,
that
the
taking
of
Tobacco
is
onely
convenient
for
colde
and
moist
bodies
,
that
the
often
and
daily
vse
thereof
is
onelie
allowable
for
them
that
haue
their
stomake
,
breast
,
braine
and
sinewie
parts
exceedingly
colde
,
and
stuffed
with
crude
and
rheumaticke
humours
,
and
also
that
it
is
sometimes
tollerable
for
others
,
by
way
of
prevention
;
yet
the
knowledge
of
these
things
,
without
the
true
vse
and
application
of
the
fume
,
as
namely
,
when
to
vse
it
,
how
often
,
in
what
manner
and
measure
,
and
what
to
obserue
after
the
taking
of
it
,
is
of
small
purpose
:
for
it
may
(
being
taken
without
respect
had
of
these
circumstances
)
prooue
more
hurtfull
,
then
beneficiall
vnto
him
that
taketh
it
.
Wherefore
I
wish
him
that
desireth
to
haue
the
true
vse
of
Tobacco
,
to
receiue
from
me
,
and
carefully
obserue
ten
precepts
in
the
vse
thereof
.
The
first
is
,
2
The
second
is
,
that
the
taking
thereof
be
chiefly
obserued
after
trauelling
in
misty
foggy
and
rainy
weather
,
because
it
preventeth
catarhes
,
and
rheumes
,
and
taketh
away
all
hurts
that
are
wont
,
by
rcason
of
the
humiditie
and
〈◊〉
of
the
aire
,
to
happen
to
the
head
and
other
parts
.
For
the
taking
thereof
at
such
time
,
is
convenient
for
every
state
of
body
,
except
where
there
is
a
drie
constitution
of
the
braine
,
as
hath
beene
formerly
shewed
.
3
The
third
is
,
that
it
be
taken
with
moderation
,
not
(
at
the
most
)
exceeding
the
quantitie
of
a
pipe
full
at
a
time
;
for
euerie
thing
which
is
superfluous
,
is
very
aduerse
to
Nature
,
and
nothing
more
then
Tobacco
.
4
The
fourth
is
,
that
at
meales
betweene
the
eating
,
it
be
at
no
hand
taken
,
as
many
very
foolishly
doe
,
because
it
vtterly
interrupteth
and
marrerh
the
concoction
.
5
The
fift
is
,
that
it
be
not
taken
within
foure
or
five
houres
after
meale
,
except
a
peculiar
state
of
the
body
shall
necessarily
require
the
taking
thereof
presently
vppon
the
meale
,
and
that
onelie
in
two
respects
:
The
first
is
,
for
the
imbecillitie
of
the
natiue
and
digestiue
heate
in
some
,
which
may
not
be
a
little
comforted
by
the
translation
of
the
heate
of
this
fume
,
mediantibus
nervis
,
from
the
braine
to
the
stomacke
:
The
second
is
,
for
the
consuming
of
vapours
,
and
preventing
of
their
hurts
,
which
in
others
are
(
by
reason
of
an
ill
disposition
of
the
stomacke
)
immoderately
woont
to
ascend
after
meale
:
for
by
meanes
of
the
fume
detained
in
the
mouth
and
cavities
of
the
braine
,
those
superfluous
vapours
are
in
part
consumed
,
the
braine
,
which
by
nature
is
ouer
colde
,
and
moist
,
heated
and
dried
,
and
consequently
,
not
so
soone
annoyed
by
the
vapours
which
do
ascend
vnto
it
.
6
The
sixt
is
,
that
you
drinke
not
betweene
the
taking
of
the
fumes
,
as
our
smoakie
Tobacconists
are
wont
,
because
thereby
the
operations
of
the
fume
are
hindered
,
and
more
superfluities
commonly
bred
,
then
can
by
the
efficacie
of
it
be
consumed
.
7
The
seuenth
is
,
that
you
eate
not
,
nor
drinke
any
thing
within
a
quarter
of
an
houre
after
the
taking
of
the
fume
,
but
allowing
that
space
for
the
operation
of
it
,
you
may
then
wash
your
mouth
with
Beere
or
Wine
,
to
take
away
the
fuligiuous
sauour
of
the
fume
,
and
also
drinke
a
draught
of
Sacke
,
if
the
stomacke
shall
be
colde
,
or
abound
with
crude
and
flatulent
humours
,
and
so
goe
to
your
meale
,
if
it
shall
be
the
time
of
your
repast
.
For
,
to
wash
your
mouth
,
or
drinke
presently
vppon
the
taking
of
the
fume
,
doth
much
hinder
the
operation
of
it
:
or
,
in
steade
of
washing
your
mouth
,
you
may
presently
,
vpon
the
taking
of
the
fume
,
rubbe
your
tongue
,
pallate
,
and
gummes
,
(
which
I
alwayes
holde
fit
to
be
observed
)
with
a
drie
napkin
,
and
if
it
be
also
heated
,
the
better
,
especially
in
colde
and
rheumaticke
seasons
,
and
afterwards
chew
in
your
mouth
something
of
an
aromaticall
savour
,
as
cloues
,
or
the
rootes
of
Galingall
,
or
the
floures
of
Rosemarie
,
and
Sage
when
they
may
be
had
,
&c.
or
the
conserues
of
them
:
for
these
,
and
such
like
,
doe
not
onely
take
away
the
fuliginous
and
stinking
savour
of
the
fume
,
but
also
giue
comfort
to
the
braine
and
spirits
.
And
vppon
the
doing
heereof
,
if
it
be
not
before
meales
,
it
is
specially
good
to
swallow
downe
abo●t
the
quantitie
of
a
prune
or
two
of
the
conserue
of
red
Roses
.
Tabulae
Dianisi
,
which
you
may
haue
from
the
Apothecaries
,
are
also
very
good
to
be
eaten
vppon
the
taking
of
Tobacco
,
the
mouth
beeing
first
washed
as
aforesaid
,
for
they
correct
the
euill
savour
and
smell
of
the
fume
,
make
the
breath
sweete
,
and
also
resolve
windinesse
of
the
stomacke
.
I
commonly
vse
,
vpon
the
taking
of
Tobacco
,
to
swallow
downe
a
spoonefull
of
a
pectorall
and
cephalicke
syrupe
made
for
the
purpose
,
which
doth
foorthwith
remooue
the
offensiue
savour
of
the
fume
,
and
is
withall
,
very
profitable
vnto
the
stomacke
,
breast
,
and
head
,
&
thereupon
also
,
a
quantitie
of
the
conserue
of
red
Roses
,
especially
at
the
time
of
going
to
bed
.
8
The
eight
is
,
that
in
drawing
of
the
fume
,
you
suffer
it
not
externally
to
affect
the
eies
:
for
it
is
vnto
them
,
by
reason
of
its
smokie
drying
,
and
fuliginous
nature
,
very
offensiue
.
9
The
ninth
is
,
that
you
warily
draw
the
fume
out
of
the
pipe
,
not
sucking
it
into
your
wind-pipe
and
throate
with
a
sodaine
or
strong
attraction
;
for
then
it
will
exasperate
the
winde-pipe
,
and
much
offend
and
disquiet
the
mouth
of
the
stomacke
.
10
The
tenth
and
last
is
,
that
you
go
not
abroad
into
the
aire
,
presently
vppon
the
taking
of
the
fume
,
but
rather
refraine
there-from
the
space
of
halfe
an
houre
or
more
,
especially
if
the
season
be
colde
,
or
moist
,
because
the
poares
of
the
body
being
open
,
by
meanes
of
the
strong
working
of
the
fume
,
euen
to
the
vttermost
and
superficiarie
parts
of
the
body
,
ineffable
hurts
may
happen
,
by
the
sodaine
accesse
of
the
aire
.
Hence
you
may
obserue
how
idle
and
foolish
they
are
,
that
can
not
trauell
without
a
Tobacco
pipe
at
their
mouth
;
but
such
(
I
must
tell
you
)
are
no
base
Tobacchians
:
for
this
manner
of
taking
the
fume
,
they
suppose
to
be
generous
:
Let
these
fume-gallants
enioy
their
vanity
,
and
for
their
better
grace
,
it
were
good
they
were
also
attended
with
chimney-sweeping
Lackeys
.
Now
from
that
which
hath
beene
said
,
you
may
collect
a
two-folde
manner
of
taking
of
Tobacco
,
which
ought
to
be
altered
and
obserued
,
according
as
occasion
and
the
particular
state
of
him
that
taketh
it
,
shall
require
.
The
first
is
,
a
detaining
of
the
fume
onelie
in
the
mouth
,
and
thrusting
of
it
forth
againe
at
the
nostrils
,
for
heating
and
drying
of
the
braine
,
and
for
dissoluing
and
dissipating
of
colde
humours
and
superfluous
vapours
that
reside
in
it
.
The
other
is
a
receiuing
of
it
into
the
stomacke
and
lungs
,
Whosoeuer
therefore
thou
be
that
desirest
to
know
whether
the
fume
of
Tobacco
may
be
profitable
or
hurtfull
to
thy
body
;
thou
oughtest
first
to
consider
,
whether
it
be
convenient
for
thy
head
:
for
if
thy
braine
be
ouer
cold
and
moist
,
or
abound
with
superfluous
matter
,
then
the
detaining
of
the
fume
onely
in
the
mouth
,
and
forcing
it
out
at
the
nostrills
,
may
be
profitable
vnto
thee
:
for
by
this
meanes
the
fume
ascending
to
the
braine
,
doth
not
onely
by
its
heating
,
attracting
and
exiccating
facultie
euacuate
and
consume
the
superfluities
in
it
,
but
also
,
in
some
measure
,
reduceth
the
same
to
its
natiue
temperament
.
But
heere
by
the
way
it
is
to
be
noted
,
Secondly
,
you
must
diligently
consider
whether
the
fume
of
Tobacco
bee
convenient
for
the
stomacke
,
lungs
,
and
liuer
.
For
,
if
crude
and
windie
humours
abound
in
the
stomacke
and
bowells
thorow
a
colde
imbecillitie
of
the
liuer
;
or
if
a
colde
distemperature
,
and
thinne
,
crude
,
and
flatulent
humours
dominiere
in
the
lungs
,
then
the
imbibing
also
or
taking
downe
of
the
fume
into
those
parts
,
may
,
so
the
stomacke
be
emptie
of
meates
,
be
sometimes
tollerable
,
yea
profitable
,
especially
for
strong
bodies
,
in
case
of
extreamitie
,
and
when
no
better
remedie
,
at
the
instant
,
can
be
had
:
for
by
its
heating
,
exiccating
,
and
purging
facultie
,
it
somewhat
correcteth
the
distemperature
,
consumeth
winde
,
and
foorthwith
expurgeth
the
offensiue
humours
.
But
by
reason
of
its
turbulent
and
sickely
operation
,
I
cannot
commend
the
often
vse
thereof
,
nor
at
any
time
approue
it
to
them
that
are
of
a
weake
and
valetudinarie
state
of
body
.
Heere
two
cautions
doe
offer
themselues
to
bee
observed
concerning
the
imbibing
,
The
like
caution
must
also
be
observed
in
respect
of
the
melt
that
is
obstructed
,
But
,
that
Tobaccoes
fume
may
more
effectually
performe
all
the
aforesaid
commodities
,
and
with
lesse
detriment
,
I
aduise
that
the
rules
of
Tobacco
be
macerated
or
steeped
two
or
three
daies
in
sacke
aboundantly
edulcated
or
sweetned
with
sugar
,
Now
,
To
conclude
therefore
,
I
wish
them
that
desire
to
haue
mentem
sanam
in
corpore
sano
,
altogether
to
abandon
insanam
praeposterumque
Tobacci
vsum
.
This
is
all
which
seemed
good
vnto
me
to
be
written
of
Tobaccoes
fume
,
partly
for
shewing
the
right
manner
of
vsing
it
,
but
especially
for
reproouing
the
too
too
licentious
liberall
,
and
intempestiue
taking
of
it
,
which
very
many
,
in
these
dayes
)
do
to
their
owne
ruine
lewdly
,
and
for
want
of
better
employment
,
foolishly
affect
.
