THE
Quantitie
of
meate
muste
be
proporcioned
after
the
substaunce
and
qualite
therof
,
and
according
to
the
complexion
of
hym
that
eateth
.
Fyrst
,
it
ought
to
be
remembred
,
that
meates
hote
and
moiste
whyche
are
qualities
of
the
bloudde
,
are
soone
,
tourned
into
bloudde
,
and
therfore
moche
nourysheth
the
body
.
Some
meates
do
nourishe
but
lyttell
,
hauynge
lytteil
conformitie
with
bloudde
in
their
qualities
.
Of
them
,
whiche
do
nourishe
,
some
are
more
grosse
,
some
lyghter
in
digestyon
.
The
grosse
meate
ingendreth
grosse
bloude
,
but
where
it
is
well
concocte
in
the
stomake
,
and
well
digested
,
it
maketh
the
flesshe
more
fyrme
,
and
the
officiall
members
more
stronge
,
thanne
fyne

.
Wherfore
of
men
,
which
vse
moch
labor
or
exercise
,
also
of
them
,
whiche
haue
very
chorike
stomackes
here
in
Englande
,
grosse
meates
may
be
eaten
in
a
great
quantite
:
and
in

Contrarywise

lyght

therfore
be
to
suche
a
stomacke
more
apte
and
conuenyent

The
temperate
bodye
is
beste
nourysshed
with
a
lyttell
quantitie
of
grosse
meates
:
but
of
temperate
meates
in

they
maye
safely
eate
a
good

Foreseene
alway
,
that
they
eate
withoute
gourmandyse

or
leaue

And
here
it
wolde
be
remembred
,
that
the
cholerycke
stomake
doth
not
desyre
soo

as

maye
dygest
:
the
melancholye
stomacke

dygeste
soo
moche
as
he
desyreth
.
for
colde
maketh
appetite
,
but
naturall
heate
concocteth
or
boyleth
.
Not
withstandynge
vnnaturall
or
supernaturall
heate
distroyeth
appetite
,
and
corrupteth
dygestyon
,
as
it
appereth
in

.
More

fruytes
and

,
specyally
rawe
,
wolde
be
eaten
in
a
small
quantitie
,
all
thoughe
the
persone
be
very
cholerycke
,
forasmoche
as
they
do
ingender
thynne
watrye
bloudde
,
apte

whyche

I

bycause

¶
Of

THe
fleshe
of
al

is
moche
lighter
than
the

of

in

¶
The
Capon
is
aboue
all
other

praised
,
for
as
moche
as
it
is
easily
digested

maketh
lyttell
ordure

and
moche
good

.
It
is
commodious
to
the
breaste

Hennes
in

are
almooste
equall
vnto
the
capon
,
but
they
do
not
make

stronge
nourishement

Auycen

,
if

they
wyll

Chickens

,
are
very
conuement
for
a
weake
stomak
,
and
nourysheth

The

of

is
hard

Wndoubtedly
water
hathe
preeminence
aboue
all
other
lycoures
,
not
onely
bycause
it
is
an
elem●t
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
pure
matter
,
wher
of
al
other
lycours
haue
their
original
substance
:
but
also
forasmoche
,
as
it
was
the
very
naturall
and
fyrst
drynke
to
all
maner
of
creatures
.
Wherfore
the
sayeng
of
Pindarus
the
poete
,
was
euer
well
allowed
,
whiche
saythe
,
water
is
beste
.
And
one
th●nge
is
well
consydered
,
that
from
the
creation
of
the
worlde
,
vntyll
the
vniue●sall
deluge
or
floudde
,
duryng
which
tyme
,
men
lyued
eight
or
nyne
hunderde
yeres
,
there
was
none
other
drinke
vsed
nor
knowen
,
but
water
.
Also
the
true
folowers
of
Pythagoras
doctrine
,
dranke
onely
water
,
and
yet
lyued
longe
:
as
Apollonius
and
other
:
and
in
the
serchyng
out
of
secrete
and
misticall
thynges
,
their
wyttes
excellyd
.
Moreouer
,
we
haue
sene
men
and
women
of
great
age
,
and
stronge
of
body
,
whyche
neuer
or
verye
seldome
,
dranke
other
drynke
,
than
pure
water
:
As
by
example
in
Cornewall
,
although
that
the
countrey
be
in
a
very
colde
quarter
,
whiche
proueth
,
that
if
men
from
their
infancye
,
were
accustomed
to
none
other
drinke
,
but
to
water
onely
,
moderatly
vsed
,
it
shuld
be
sufficient
to
kepe
naturall
moysture
,
and
to
cause
the
meat
that
is
eaten
,
to
perce
and
descende
vnto
the
places
of
digestion
,
which
are
the
pourposes
that
drynke
se●ueth
fore
.
But
nowe
to
the
qualities
of
water
,
after
the
sentence
of
auncient
philosophers
and
phisitions
,
The
rayne
water
,
after
the
opinion
of
the
most
men
,
if
it
be
receyued
pure
and
cleane
,
is
most
subtyl
and
penetratiue
of
any
other
waters
:
the
next
is
that
,
whiche
issueth
out
of
a
spring
in
the
east
,
and
passeth
swiftly
among
great
stones
or
rockes
:
The
thirde
is
of
a
cleane
ryuer
,
whyche
renneth
on
greate
harde
stones
or
pebles
.
There
be
dyuerse
meanes
to
trie
out
,
whiche
is
the
beste
water
.
For
that
whiche
is
lightest
in
poyse
or
weight
is
best
.
also
that
,
wherof
cometh
leest
skymme
or
frothe
,
whan
it
doth
boyle
.
Also
that
,
which
wyll
soonest

Of

Cap.

.
MIlke
is
compact
of
thre
substances
,
creame
,
whey
,
&
cruddes
.
The
moste
excellent
milke
is
of
a
woman
.
The
mylke
of
a
cow
is
thyckest
,
the
mylke
of
a

is
most
subtyl
,
the
mylke
of
a

cowe

,
and

Ewes

Also
the
mylk
of
beastes
,
fedyng
in
large
pastures
,
and
out
of
fennes
and
marshes
,
is
better
than
of
them
,
whiche
be
fedde
in
lytell
closes
,
or
in
watry
groundes
.
In
springe
tyme
mylke
is
most
subtyll
,
and
milke
of
yong
beastes
,
is
holsomer
,
than
of

To
chyldren
,
olde
men
,
and
to
them
,
which
be
oppressed
with
melancoly
,
or
haue
the
fleshe

with
a
feuer
ethike
,
mylke
is
conuenient
.
And
generally
to
all
them
,
which
do
not
fele
the
mylk
rise
in
their
stomakes
,
after
that
they
haue
eaten
it
:
and
in
those
persons
,
it
dothe
easily
pourge
that
whiche

in
the
bealye
superfluous
.
And
afterwarde
it
entreth
into
the

,
and
bryngeth

Who

,
to
the
entent
that
it
shal
not

let

And

And

vntyll
the

,
and

For
with

it
becometh
soure
:
&
therfore
it
requyreth
rest
&
watch
or
to

very
softly
.
Finally
,
where
men
&

be
vsed
from

,
for
the
more

,
to

,
and
do

but

appere

be
of

of

,
&
not

as

¶
Of
ale
,
biere
,
cyder
,
and
whay
.
I
Can
neyther
here
nor
rede
,
that
ale
is
made
&
vsed
for
a
common
drynke
in
any
other
countray
than
England
,
Scotland
,
Ireland
,
&
Poyle
.
The
latyn
worde
Cereuitia
,
is
indifferent
as
welle
to
ale
as
to
biere
,
and
the
only
difference
betwene
them
is
,
that
biere
hath
hoppes
sodden
in
it
,
ale
ought
to
haue
none
.
If
the
corne
be
good
,
the
water
holsome
and
cleane
,
and
the
ale
or
biere
well
and
perfytclye
brewed
and
clensed
,
and
by
the
space
of
syx
dayes
or
more
,
settled
and
defecate
,
it
must
nedes
be
a
necessary
&
conuenieut
drynk
,
as
well
in
syknes
as
in
helth
:
consyderinge
that
batleye
corne
,
wherof
it
is
made
,
is
commended
,
and
vsed
in
medicine
,
in
all
partis
of
the
world
,
&
accompted
to
be
of
a
syngular
efficacy
,
in
reducynge
the
body
into
good
temper
,
specially
which
is
in
a
distemperature
of
heate
.
For
what
auncient
phisition
is
there
,
that
in
his
workes
commendeth
not
ptysane
,
whiche
is
none
other
than
pure
barley
,
brayed
in
a
morter
,
and
sodden
in
water
?
The
same
thynge
is
smalle
and
cleane
ale
or
b●ere
,
sauynge
that
perchaunce
,
the
drienge
of
the
malte
,
is
cause
of
more
dryth
to
be
in
the
ale
,
than
in
ptisane
.
And
the
hoppes
in
biere
maketh
it
colder
in
operation
.
But
to
say
as
I
thynke
,
I
suppose
,
th●
neither
ale
nor
biere
is
to
be
compared
to
wyne
,
consideringe
,
that
in
them
do
lacke
the
heate
and
moysture
which
is
in
wine
.
For
that
being
moderately
vsed
,
is
most
lyke
to
the
natural
heate
and
moysture
of
mans
bodye
.
And
also
the
lykour
of
ale
&
bere
beinge
more
grosse
,
do
ingender
more
grosse
vapours
,
and
corrupt
humors
,
than
wine
doth
,
beinge
drunke
in
lyke
excesse
of
quantitie
.
¶
And
one
thyng
is
to
be
noted
,
which
was
lately
well
marked
of
a
man
of
excellent
lerning
,
being
vexed
witd
the
sicknes
of
the
stone
,
That
in
them
,
whiche
do
alway
vse
to
drynke
ale
or
biere
,
the
stone
and
grauell
ingendred
in
them
is
white
of
colour
:
And
in
them
,
whiche
do
vse
to
drynke
wine
for
the
more
parte
,
the
stones
and
grauelle
,
whiche
be
ingendred
in
them
,
be
redde
of
colour
.
Not
withstandynge
commonly
the
colour
of
the
stone
foloweth
the
humour
,
whiche
dothe
moste
abound
in
the
pacient
.
As
coler
maketh
the
grauell
more
redde
,
fleme
maketh
it
more
white
.
also
some
men
do
suppose
,
that
red
grauell
is
ingendred
in
the
raynes
,
white
grauell
in
the
bladder
.
Moreouer
,
who
so
euer
vseth
ingurgitation
of
ale
or
biere
,
his
breath
shal
be
more
lothsom
,
than
the
breathes
of
them
,
whiche
do
take
the
excesse
of
wyne
:
for
the
wyne
by
the
reason
of
his
heate
,
is
soner
digested
,
and
dothe
leaue
behynde
hym
fewer
dregges
.
As
for
Cyder
,
may
nat
be
good
in
any
condicion
,
consyderyng
(
as
I
sayd
)
that
all
fruites
do
ingender
yll
humours
,
and
doo
coole
to
moch
naturall
heate
:
but
to
them
,
which
haue
abundance
of
red
coler
,
moderatly
vsed
,
it
somewhat
profyteth
in
mitigation
of
excessiue
heate
.
But
who
that
wyll
diligently
marke
in
the
countreys
,
where
syder
is
vsed
for
a
common
drynke
,
the
men
and
women
haue
the
colour
of
their
vysage
pallyd
,
and
the
skynne
of
their
vysage
ryuelled
,
although
that
they
be

wherof
the

retayneth

it

both
moyst

,
and
clenseth
the

and
by
the
subtylnes
of
it selfe
,
it
descendeth
sone
from
the
stomake
,
and
is
shortly
digested
.
Also
by
reason
of
the
affinitie
,
whiche
it
hath
with
mylk
,
it
is
conuertible
into
bloude
and
fleshe
,
specially
in
those
persons
,
whiche
doo
inhabyte
the
northe

,
in

heate
is

,
and
therfore
is
of
more
puissance
and

in

of

.
Also

from

doth
eleuate
the
power
of
meates
and

in
their
disposition
,
not
withstandynge
that
the

,
sanguine

Claudius
the

telleth
also
of

Pollio
Romulus

who
was
aboue

Augustus
the

did
it
inwarde
with

Whiche

agreeth
with
the

of

the
greate

:
who
being
demanded
,
how
a

mought
lyue

aunswered

If

IN

for

it
is
to
be
remembred
,
that
that

ought
to
be
taken
in
great
abundance
,
and
of
a
more
grosse
substance
than
in

forasmoch
as
the
exteriour
ayre
,
whiche
compasseth
the

causeth
the

to

into
the
inner

,
where
beinge
inclosed

and

togyther
in
the

,
it
is
of
more
force
to
boyle

digeste

,
whiche
is
receyued
into

.
Also

rosted

Alway
remember

that

thinges

be
taken

whiche
are

there
be

of

to
be

the

we
call
meales
,
which
are
in
number

distance
,
according
to

of

:
As
where
the

and
the

of

,
there
may
mo

Contrary

I

not

here
must
be

consideration
of

the

of

as
shal

declared
hereafter

concernynge
the
generall
vsage
of

and
admitting
the

to
be
in

state

For

drowneth
the

not

letteth
conuenient
concoction

also
causeth
it
to

therfore
ingendreth
moche

than
is
it
moste
conuenient
,
to
absteyne

rather
prouoke

,
than
to

▪
also

not

,
excepte
very
great
thirste
constrayneth
,
for
it
inter●upteth
the
office
of
the
stomake
in
concoction
,
&
causeth
the
meate
to
passe
faster
than
it
shuld
do
,
&
the
drinke
being
cold
,
it
rebuketh
naturall
heate
that
is
workyng
,
and
the
meate
remainyng
raw
,
it
corrupteth
digestion
,
&
maketh
crudenes
in
the
vaines
.
Wherfore
he
that
is
thirsty
,
let
him
consider
the
occasion
.
If
it
be
of
salt
fleme
,
let
him
walke
faire
&
softly
,
and
only
washe
his
mouth
and
his
throte
,
with
barley
water
,
or
with
small
ale
,
or
lye
downe
and
slepe
a
littel
,
and
so
the
thirst
wil
passe
away
,
or
at
the
least
be
wel
asswaged
.
If
it
happen
by
extreme
heat
of
the
aire
,
or
by
pure
coler
,
or
eatyng
of
hotte
spices
,
let
him
drinke
a
lyttell
●ulep
made
with
cleane
water
and
sugar
,
or
a
litel
smal
biere
or
ale
,
so
that
he
drinke
not
a
great
glut

but
in
a
lytel
quantite
,
let

styl
downe
softly

as

&
than
let

If
the
thirst
be

than
after
the
opinion

as

the
best

is
,
if

washe
his

vi
neger
&
water

and
so
to
slepe
long
&
soundly
,
if
he
can
.
And
if
he
in

he
fele
any
fumosit●es
risynge
,
than
to
drinke
iulep
of

,
or
for

thereof
,
a
good

some

moche

whiche

whanne

the

the
other
grosse

at

into

vaynes

,
nedes
must

,

be

Lyke
wyse

some

accordynge

shall

And
like

soo
the●●y
shal
be

it

in

Wherfore
of
the
sayd
vnequall
mixture
,
nedes
must
ensue
cortuption
,
and
consequently
syknes
.
And
therfore
to
a
hole
man
it
were
better
,
to
fede
at
one
meale
competentely
on
very
grosse
meate
only
,
so
that

,
and
his

do
not

it

than
on
diuers
fine

,
of

dry

I
haue

I
haue
proued

that
whan
they
haue
eaten
sondrye
fyne
meates
at
one
meale
,
haue
soone
after
felt
theym selfe
greued

,
as
they
were
wonte
to
do
with
grosse
meates
,
whan
they
eate
it
alone
whiche
proueth
to
be
true
that
whiche
I
haue
rehersed
.
And
it
is
good
reson
▪
for
after
the
generall
opinion
of
philosophers
and
phisitions
,
the
nature
of
mankynde
is
best
contente
with
thinges
moste
symple
and
vnmyxt
,
all
thynges
tendynge
to
vnitie
,
wherin
is
the
only
perfection
.
Also
it
is
a
generall
rule
of
phisyke
,
that
where
a
sycknesse
may
be
cured
with
symples
,
that
is
to

,
with

thyng
that
is

there
shuld
the

gyue
no

medicine
myxt
with
many
thynges

These

consydered
,
it
may
seme
to
all
men
,
that
haue
reason
,
what
abuse
is
here
in
this
realme
in
the
continual
gourmandise
,
and
dayly
fedyng
on
sondry

oftentimes
in

in
the
most

tyme
of

,
whan
we
wolde
moste

For

how

For

whan

were
the
sayd

put

HErbes
as
wel
sodden
as
vnsodden
,
also
frutes
,
whiche
do
mollifie
and
louse
the
bealye
,
ought
to
be
eaten
before
any
other
meate
,
excepte
that
sometyme
for
the
repressynge
of
fumosities
,
rysyng
in
the
heed
by
moche
drinkynge
of
wyne
,
rawe
lettyse
,
or
a
colde
appul
,
or
the
iuyce
of
oren
ges
or
lymons
maye
be
taken
after
meales
in
a
lyttell
quantitie
.
Moreouer
all
brothes
,
mylke
,
rere
egges
,
and
meates
,
whiche
are
purposely
taken
to
make
the
bely
soluble
,
wold
be
fyrst
eaten
.
All
fruites
and
other
meates
,
that
are
stiptike
or
byndynge
,
wolde
be
eaten
last
of
all
other
.
Fruites
confectionate
specially
with
hony
at
not
to
be
eaten
with
other
meates
.
But
here
it
is
to
be
diligently
noted
,
that
where
the
stomake
is
colericke
and
stronge
,
grosse
meates
wolde
be
fyrste
eaten
:
where
the
stomake
is
colde
or
weake
,
there
wolde
fine
meates
be
first
eaten
.
for
in
a
hot
stomak
fine
meates
ar
bourned
,
whyle
the
grosse
meate
is
digestyng
.
Contrary
wise
in
a
colde
stomake
,
the
litell
heate
is
suffocate
with
grosse
meate
,
and
the
fine
meate
left
raw
,
for
lacke
of
concoction
,
where
if
the
fine
meate
be
first
taken
moderately
,
it
styreth
vp
and
comforteth
naturall
heate
,
and
maketh
it
more
able
to
concoct
grosse
meates
,
if
they
be
eaten
afterward
:
so
that
it
be
but
in
smal
quantite
.
not
withstanding
,
as
I
late
affirmed
,
one
ma
ner
of
meate
is
most
sure
to
euery
complexion
.
forsene
that
it
be
alway
most
commonly
in
conformitie
of
qualites
,
with
the
person
that
eateth
.
More
ouer
take
hede
,
that
slypper
meates
be
not
firste
eaten
,
lest
it
draw
with
it
to
hastily
other
meates
,
or
they
be
digested
,
nor
that
stiptik
or
restrainyng
meates
be
taken
at
the
beginnynge
,
as
quinces
,
peares
,
and
medlars
,
lest
they
may
let
other
meates
,
that
they
descende
not
into
the
bottom
of
the
stomake
,
where
they
shuld
be
digested
,
not
withstandynge
the
confection
made
with
the
iuyce
of
quinces
called
Dacytonites
,
taken
.ii.
houres
afore
diner
or
supper
,
is
commended
of
Galene
,
&
other
,
for
restoring
appetite
,
&
making
good
concoction
.
Also
concernyng
drinke
at
meales
,
it
wold
not
be
afore
that
somwhat
were
eaten
.
And
at
the
begin
nyng
,
the
drink
wold
be
strongest
,
and
so
toward
the
end
more
small
,
if
it
be
ale
or
biere
and
if
it
be
wyne
,
more
and
more
alayde
with
water
.
And
after
the
better
opinion
of
physitions
,
the
drynke
wolde
rather
be
myxte
with
the
meate
by
sondrye
lyttell
draughtes
,
than
with
one
greate
draughte
at
thende
of
the
meale
,
for
the
myxture
tempreth
well
the
meate
without
anoyance
:
a
great
draught
with
moch
drynke
,
drowneth
the
meate
,
rebuketh
naturall
heate
,
that
than
worketh
in
concoction
,
and
with
his
weight
dryueth
downe
the
meate
to
hastily
.
Note
wines
&
swete
,
or
confectioned
with
spices
,
or
very
stronge
ale
or
bere
,
are
not
conuenient
at
meales
,
for
the
meate
is
by
theym
rather
corrupted
,
than
digested
,
and
they
make
hote
and
stynkynge
vapours
ascend
vp
to
the
braynes
,
all
be
it
if
the
stomake
be
very
wyndy
,
or
so
cold
and
feble
,
that
it
can
not
concocte
suche
a
quantitie
of
meat
,
as
is
required
to
the
sufficient
nourish
ment
of
the
body
of
hym
that
eateth
,
or
hath
eaten
raw
herbes
or
fruites
,
wherby
he
feleth
some
annoyance
,
than
may
he
drynke
laste
incontinent
after
his
meale
a
lyttell
quantitie
of
secke
,
or
good
aqua
vite
in
small
ale
:
but
if
he
haue
moche
coler
in
his
stomake
,
or
a
heed
full
of
vapours
,
it
were
moche
better
,
that
he
dyd
neither
drynke
the
one
,
nor
the
other
,
but
rather
eate
a
lyttell
colyander
sede
prepared
,
or
a
piece
of
a
quynce
rosted
,
or
in
marmelade
,
and
after
rest
,
to
amende
the
lacke
of
nature
with
slepe
,
moderate
exercise
,
and
plasters
prouided
for
comfortynge
of
the
stomacke
.
And
here
wyl
I
leaue

any

sauyng
that
I
wold

these
two
counsailes

Fyrst
,
that
to
a
hole

,
to
precise
a
rule
is
not
conuenient
in

:
and
that
the
diseases
,
whiche
do
happen
by
to
moche
abstinence
,
ar
wars
to
be

,
than

Of
sleape
and
watche
.
Cap.

.
THe
commoditie
of
moderate
slepe
appereth
by
this
,
that
naturall
heate
,
whiche
is
occupied
about
the
matter
,
wherof
procedeth
norishment
,
is
comforted
in
the
places
of
digestion
,
and
so
digestion
is
made
better
,
or
more
perfit
by
slepe
,
the
body
fatter
,
the
mynde
more
quiete
and
clere
,
the
humours
temperate
:
as
by
moche
watche
all
thynges
happen
contrarye
.
The
moderation
of
slepe
must
be
measured
by
helth
and
syckenes
,
by
age
,
by
tyme
,
by
emptynesse
or
fulnesse
of
the
body
,
&
by
naturall
complexions
.
Fyrst
to
a
hole
man
hauing
no
debilitie
of
nature
,
and
digesting
perfitly
the
meate
that
he
eateth
,
a
lytel
slepe
is
sufficient
:
but
to
them
,
which
haue
weake
stomakis
,
&
do
digest
slowly
,
it
requireth
that
sleape
be
moch
lengar
.
semblable
temperance
is
required
in
youth
and
age
,
wynter
and
sommer
.
The
body
beinge
full
of
yll
humors
,
very
lytell
slepe
is
sufficient
,
except
the
humors
be
crude
or
raw
,
for
than
is
slepe
necessary
,
whiche
digesteth
theym
better
than
labour
.
Semblably
,
where
the
body
is
long
empty
,
by
longe
syknesse
or
abstinence
,
slepe
comforteth
nature
,
as
well
in
the
principall
members
,
as
in
all
the
other
.
Also
regarde
must
be
had
to
the
com
plexion
,
for
they
that
ar
hot
,
&
do
eate
lyttell
,
&
digest
quickly
,
a
lytell
slepe
serueth
,
specially
to
colerike
persons
,
for
in
them
moche
slepe
augmenteth
heate
,
more
than
is
necessary
,
wherby
hot
fumes
and
inflamations
ar
often
ingendred
,
&
som
tyme
the
naturall
coler
is
aduste
or
putrified
,
as
experience
teacheth
.
Fleumatike
persons
are
naturally
inclined
to
slepe
:
and
bicause
they
ingender
moch
humors
,
they
require
more
sleape
than
sanguine
or
colerike
.
Persones
hauyng
naturall
melancoly
,
not
proceding
of
coler
aduste
,
do
require
very
moch
slepe
,
which
in
them
comforteth
the
powers
animall
,
vitall
,
and
natural
,
which
ye
may
finde
writen
in
the
tables
preceding
.
Slepe
wold
be
taken
not
immediatly
after
meales
,
&
be
fore
that
the
meate
is
descended
from
the
mouthe
of
the
stomake
.
For
therby
is
ingendred
peines
&
noyse
in
the
bely
,
&
digestion
corrupted
,
&
the
slepe
by
yl
vapors
asccding
,
made
vnquiet
&
troublo{us}
.
Moreouer
immoderate
slepe
maketh
the
body
apt
vnto
palseis
,
apoplexis
,
falling
siknes
,
reumes
,
&
impostumes
,
also
it
maketh
the
wittes
dulle

wher
fore
in
these
.ii.
thiges
,
aswel
as
al
other
,
a
diligent
temperance
is
to
be
vsed
.
the
moderation
is
best
coniected
(
for
it
is
hard
perfitly
to
know
it
)
by
the
sen
sible
lightnes
of
al
the
body
,
specially
of
the
brain
the
browes
and
the
eies
,
the
passage
downe
of
the
meat
from
the
stomake
,
the
wyll
to
make
vrine
,
&
to
go
to
the
stoole
.
Contrarywise
,
heuynes
in
the
body
&
eies
,
and
sauour
of
the
meate
before
eaten
signifieth
that
the
slepe
was
not
sufficient
.
They
that
ar
hole
must
slepe
firste
on
the
right
syde
,
bycause
the
meate
may
approche
to
the
lyuer
,
which
is
to
the
stomake
,
as
fyre
vnder
the
pot
,
&
by
hym
is
digested
.
To
them
,
which
haue
feble
digestion
,
it
is
good
to
slepe
prostrate
on
their
bealies
,
or
to
haue
their
bare
hand
on
their

Lienge

wherof
is
alteration
of

Of

do
procede
two
commodities

euacuation

also
good
habite
of

for
Exercise

therof

hardnes
of

also
therof

wherby

Galen

sayth
,
that
the
tyme
moste
conuenient
for
exercise
is
,
whan
bothe
the
firste
and
seconde
digestion
is
complete
,
as
wel
in
the
stomake
,
as
in
the
vaines
,
&
that
the
tyme
approcheth
to
eate
eftsones
.
For
if
ye
do
exercise
soner
or
later
,
ye
shall
eyther
fyll
the
body
with
crude
humours
,
or
elles
augment
yelowe
coler
.
The
knowlege
of
this
tyme
is
perceiued
by
the
colour
of
the
vrine
,
for
that
whiche
resembleth
vnto
clere
water
,
betokenethe
,
that
thiuyce
,
whiche
cometh
from
the
stomake
,
is
crude
in

vaynes
:
that
which
is
well
coloured
,
not
to
high

,
betokeneth
,
that
the
second
dygestion
is

perfite
:
where
the
colour
is
very
high
or
redde
,
it
sygnyfyeth
,
that
the
concoction
is
more
than
sufficient

Wherfore
whan

Olde

Romayns

For
I

th●
they

neuer

in

they
be
also
lefte

onles
it

in

or
against

whiche
hapneth

only
I
wyll
remember
the
saying
of
Hipocrates
,
Fricasye
hath
power
to
louse

to

to
increase
fleshe

He

let

by

,
late
phisition
of
most
worthy

to

The

is
written
more
brefely
of
Paulus
Aegineta

The
diuersities
of
exercises
.
Cap.
xxxiii
.
THe
qualitie
of
exercise
is
the
diuersitie
therof
,
forasmoche
as
therin
be
many
differences
in
mouynge
,
and
also
some
exercise
moueth
more
one
part
of
the
body
,
some
an
other
.
In
difference
of
mouynge
,
some
is
slow
or
softe
,
some
is
swifte
or
faste
:
some
is
stronge
or
violent
,
some
be
mixt
with
strength
&
swiftnesse
.
Stronge
or
violente
exercises
be
these
,
deluynge
(
specially
in
toughe
clay
and
heuy
,
bearynge
or
susteynynge
of
heuye
burdeyns
,
clymmyng
or
walkyng
against
a
stipe
vpright
hyll
:
holdyng
a
rope
,
and
clymmyng
vp
therby
,
hangyng
by
the
handes
on
any
thing
,
aboue
a
mans
reache
,
that
his
fete
touche
not
the
grounde
:
standyng
and
holdyng
vp
,
or
spreding
the
armes
,
with
the
handes
fast
closed
,
&
abiding
so
a
longe
tyme
.
Also
to
holde
the
armes
stedfast
,
causyng
an
other
man
,
to
assay
,
to
pull
them
out
,
and
not
withstandynge
he
kepeth
his
arme
stedfast
,
inforcing
ther
vnto
the
sinewes
and
muscules
.
Wrastlyng
also
with
the
armes
and
legges
,
if
the
persons
be
equall
in
strength
,
it
dothe
exercise
the
one
and
the
other
:
if
the
one
be
stronger
,
than
is
it
to
the
weaker
a
more
violent
exercise
.
Al
these
kyndes
of
exercises
,
and
other
like
them
,
do
augment
strength
,
and
therfore
they
serue
only
for
yonge
men
,
which
be
inclined
,
or
be
apte
to
the
warres
.
Swifte
exercise
without
violence
is
,
runnyng
,
playeng
with
weapons
,
tenise
,
or
throwyng
of
the
ball
,
trotting
a
space
of
grounde
forward
and
backward
,
going
on
the
toes
,
and
holdyng
vp
the
handes
.
Also
stirring
vp
and
downe
his
armes
,
without
plummettes
.
Vehement
exercise
is
compounde
of
violent
exercise
and
swifte
,
whan
they
ar
ioyned
togither
at
one
tyme
,
as
dansyng
of
galyardes
,
throwyng
of
the
balle
,
&
runnyng
after
it
.
footeball
play
may
be
in
the
number
therof
,
throwyng
of
the
longe
dart
,
and
continuing
it
many
tymes
,
runnyng
in
harneys
,
&
other
lyke
.
The
moderate
exercise
is
longe
walking
or
going
a
iourneye
.
The
partes
of
the
bodye
haue
sondry
exercises
appropried
vnto
them
,
as
rounning
and
going
is
the
most
proper
for
the
leggis
.
Mouyng
of
the
armes
vp
&
downe
,
or
stretching
them
out
,
&
playeng
with
weapons
,
serueth
most
for
the
armes
and
shulders
,
stouping
and
risyng
often
tyme
,
or
liftyng
great
weightes
,
takyng
vp
plummettes
or
other
lyke
poyses
on
the
endes
of
staues
,
&
in
lyke
wise
,
liftyng
vp
in
euery
hande
a
speare
or
moryspike
by
the
endes
,
specially
crossing
the
handes
,
and
to
lay
them
downe
ageyn
in
their
places
,
these
do
exercise
the
backe
&
loynes
.
Of
the
bulke
&
lunges
the
proper
exercise
is
meuing
of
the
breath
in
syngyng
or
crieng
.
The
entrayles
,
which
be
vnderneth
the
myddreste
,
be
exercised
by
blowyng
,
eyther
by
constraint
,
or
playeng
on
shaulmes
,
or
sackbottes
,
or
other
lyke
instrumentes
,
which
do
require
moch
wynde
.
The
muscules
at
best
exercised
with

a

so
that

THere
is

an

,
whiche
is

Gestation

is
mixt
with
mo
Paulus

uyng

For
as
moche
as

syttyng

semeth
to

not

it
is
meued
by

sytting

whiche
is

as
was
the

rowed
,
rydyng
on

,
whiche
ambleth
very
easily

or
gothe

The

whiche

or
haue

This
exercise
swetely
asswageth
troubles
of

prouoketh

Also
it
is
conuenient
for

,
whiche
haue
the
palsey

Gestation
in

hath
in
it
a

where
any

runneth
downe

But
the
vehement
shakynge
is
to
be
vsed
in

griefes
of

helpe

Nauigation
or
rowyng
nigh
to
the
lande
,
in

water
,
is
expedient
for
them
that
haue
dropsies
,
lepries
,
palseyes
,
called
of
the
vulgare
people
,
takynges
,
and
fransies

To
be
caryed
on

,
it
is
a

,

,
if

they
may
put

For
that
whiche
is
myxte
with

meuyng
,
if
any
thyng
els
may

it
most
excellently
causeth

¶
Of
vociferation
.
Cap.
xxxv
.
THe
chief
exercise
of
the
brest
&
instrumentes
of
the
voyce
is
vociferation
,
whiche
is
syngynge
,
redyng
,
or
crienge
,
wherof
is
the
propertie
,
that
it
purgeth
naturall
heate
,
and
maketh
it
also
subtyll
and
stable
,
and
maketh
the
members
of
the
body
substancial
and
stronge
,
resisting
diseases
.
This
exercise
wolde
be
vsed
of
persones
short
winded
,
and
them
,
which
can
nat
fetch
their
brethe
,
but
holdyng
their
necke
streight
vpright
.
Also
of
them
,
whose
fleshe
is
consumed
,
specially
about
the
breste
and
shulders
.
Also
whiche
haue
had
apostumes
broken
in
their
brestes
:
moreouer
of
them
that
are
hoorse
by
to
moch
moisture
.
and
to
them
,
which
haue
quarteyn
feuers
,
it
is
conueniente
,
it
louseth
the
humour
,
that
stycketh
in
the
brest
,
and
drieth
vp
the
moystnes
of
the
stomake
,
which
properly
the
course
of
the
quarten
is
wont
to
bring
with
hym
,
it
also
profiteth
them
,
whiche
haue
feble
stomakes
,
or
do
vomite
continually
,
or
do
breake
vp
sowrenes
out
of
the
stomacke
.
it
is
good
also
for
griefes
of
the
heed
.
He
that
intendeth
to
attempte
this
exercise
,
after
that
he
hathe
ben
at
the
stoole
,
and
softly
rubbed
the
lower
partes
,
and
washed
his
handes
.
Let
him
speake
with
as
base
a
voyce
as
he
can
,
and
walkynge
,
begyn
to
synge
lowder
&
lowder
,
but
styl
in
a
base
voice
,
and
to
take
no
hede
of
sweete
tunes
or
armonye
.
For
that
nothyng
doth
profite
vnto
helthe
of
the
body
.
but
to
inforce
him selfe
to
synge
great
,
for
therby
moch
aire
drawen
in
by
fetching
of
breth
,
thrusteth
forth
the
breast
&
stomake
,
and
openeth
and
inlargeth
the
poores
.
By
high
crieng
&
loude
redyng
are
expelled
superfluous
humors
.
Therfore
men
and
women
,
hauing
their
bodies
feble
,
and
their
flesshe
louse
,
and
not
firme
,
must
reade
oftentimes
loude
,
and
in
a
base
voyce
,
extendyng
out
the
wynd
pipe
,
&
other
passages
of
the
brethe
.
But
not
withstandyng
this
exercise
is
not
vsed
alway
,
and
of
all
persons
.
For
they
,
in
whome
is
abundance
of
humours
corrupted
,
or
be
moch
diseased
with
cruditie
in
the
stomacke
and
vaynes
,
those
do
I
counsayle
,
to
absteyn
from
the
exercise
of
the
voice
,
left
moch
corrupted
iuyce
or
vapors
,
may
therby
be
into
all
the
body
distributed
.
And
here
I
conclude
to
speake
of
exercise
,
whiche
of
them
,
that
desyre
to
●emayn
long
in
helth
,
is
most
di●igently
,
&
as
I
mought
say
,
most
scrupulously
to
be
obserued
.

declareth

must

it

And
note
wel

that
by

the
moysture
of

is
withdrawen

consequently
the

The

IN
potions
,
electuaties
,
and
pylles
ought
to
be
moch
more
obseruation
,
than
in
clysters
or
suppositories
,
for
as
moche
as
these
do
enter
no
further
than
into
the
gutte
,
where
the
ordure
lyeth
,
&
by
that
plac●
only
,
bringeth
forth
the
matter
,
whiche
causeth
disease
.
But
the
other
entryng
in
that
way
,
that
meates
and
drinkes
do
,
commeth
into
the
stomacke
,
and
there
is
boyled
,
and
sente
into
the
places
of
digestion
,
and
afterwarde
is
myxte
with
the
iuyce
,
wherof
the
substance
of

body
is
made
,
and
expellyng
the
aduersary
humou●s
,
somewhat
therof
doutlesse
remayneth
in
the
body
.
Wherfore
men
haue
nede
to
beware
,
what
medycines
they
receyue
,
that
in
them
be
no
venenositie
,
malyce
,
or
corruption
,
leste
for
the
expellyng
of
a
superfluous
humor
,
whiche
perchance

or

made

good

,
or

,
with

mought
bring
forth
a●leysure
.
by
desyryng
of

,
they
receyue
in
medicine
that
,
whiche
shall
ingender
a
venomous
humour
,
&
vneuitable
destruction
vnto
al
the
body
.
And
therfore
happy
is
he
,
whiche
in

fyndeth
a

well

phisition
,
and
so
true
a
poticary
,
that
hath
alway
drowges
vncortupted
,
&
whom
the
phisition
may
surely
trust
,
to
dispece
his
thinges
truely
.
But
now
to
returne
to
the
sayd
forme
of
purgation
,
I
wyll
nowe
set
forth
some
counsayles
,
concernynge
that
matter
,
whiche
I
haue
collected
out
of
the
chiefe
authors
of
phisike
.
Bodies
hote
&
moyst
:
may
easily
susteyn
purgation
by
the
stoole
.
They
,
whiche
be
leane
or
thyn
,
hauyng
the
members
tender
,
may
take
harme
by
purgations
.
To
men
that
at
colerike
,
and
them
,
that
eate
litell
,
purgations
at
greuous
.
In
yonge
chyldern
and
olde
men
,
it
is
daungerous
to
louse
moche
the
●ealy
.
To
them
that
at
not
wont
to
it
,
purgation
is
noyful
.
He
that
liueth
in
a
good
order
of
diet
,
nedeth
neither
purgation
nor
vomite
.
After
that
the
purgation
hath
wrought
,
thirstines
and
sounde
●lepe
,
be
signes
that
the
body
is
sufficiently
purged
.
By
dayly
takynge
of
medicines
,
nature
is
corrupted
.
Whan
ye
wylle
pourge
any
thing
,
make
first
the
matter
flowing
and
soluble
.
Medicine
to
purge
ought
not
to
be
mingled
with
meate
,
but
to
be
taken
fou●e
houres
at
the
least
before

thre
houres
after

pylles
made

comforte
the
stomake

whiche
wold
be
taken
at
the
begynning
of
supper
,
or
after
supper
,
a
litell
before
that
one
goth
to
bed
,
makyng
a
light
supper
or
none
.
After
purgation
taken
,
the
pacient
shuld
rest
,
and
not

,
vntyl
the
medicine
hath
wrought

nor

These

bycause
I

right
good

to

Nowe
wyll
I
sette

of

which
of

do

It

that
therby

not

expedient

whiche
are

Moreouer
they

excesse

I

(
saith

that
the
base

of
the

,
as
the

be

,
which
is
the
moste
sure

For
it
cureth

It

Lykewise
put
to
the

vndiscretely
,
it
hurteth
both
the

and
the
cies
.
The
late
authors
Actius
.
do
affirme
,
that
scarifieng
is
in
the
stede
of
lettyng
bloudde
,
where
for
age
,
debilitie
,
or

a

may

THere
is
also
an

fourme

founde
in

called
bloude
suckers
,
or
leaches
,
which
being
put
vnto
the

,
doo
drawe
out

And
their
drawyng
is
more
conuenient
for
fulnesse
of

thanne
scarifienge
is
,
for
as
moche
as
they
fetche
bloude
more
deper
,
and
is
more
of
the
substance
of
bloude
.
yet
the
opinion
of
somme
men
is
,
that
they
do
drawe
no
bloudde
but
that
,
which
is
corrupted
,
and
not
proporcionable
vnto
our

And
therfore
in
griefes
,
whiche
happen
betwene
the
skynne
and
the
flusshe
of

corrupted
,
these
are
more
conuenient
than
scarifienge
.
But
before

they
bringe

Wherby

that

If

If

Anger

The

Sometyme
this
affecte
hapneth
of
Ingratitude

eyther
where
for
benefite
,
or
special
loue
employed
,
one
receyueth
damage
,
or
is
abandoned
in
his
necessitie
,
or
is
deceyued
of
hym
,
whom
he
trusted
,
or
fyndeth
hym
,
of
whom
he
hath
greate
expectation
,
forgetfull
or
neglygent
in
his
commoditie
,
or
perceyueth
the
persone
,
whome
of
longe
tyme
he
hath
loued
,
to
be
estraunged
from
him
,
or
to
haue
one
of
later
acquayntaunce
in
more
estymation
.
This
affection
nyppeth
the
harte
,
ye
of
moste
wysemen
,
for
they
loue
moste
hartily
,
not
prouoked
by
carnal
affection
,
but
rather
by
good
opinion
,
ingendred
by
similitude
of
honest
studies
and
vertuous
maners
of
longe
tyme
mutuallye
experienced
.
And
it
is
not
only
vnto
man
greuous
,
but
also
vnto
god
most
displeasant
and
odious
,
as
it
is
abundantly
declared
in
scripture
.
Wherfore
the
persone
,
whiche
feleth
hym selfe
touched
with
this
affecte
,
before
that
it
growe
into
a
passion
,
and
waxeth
a
sycknesse
,
lette
hym
call
to

these
articles
folowyng

at

of

can
nat

with
perfitly
cute

Consyder

The
domynion
of

complexions
.
Capitulo

xiii
.
IT
semeth
to
me
not
inconuenient
,
that
I
doo
declare
as
well
the
counsayles
of
ancient
and
approued
authors
,
as
also
myne
owne
opynion
gathered
by
diligent
marking
in
daily
experience
,
concernyng
as
well
the
necessary
diete
of
euerye
complexion
,
age
and
declination
of
helth
,
as
also
the
meane
to
resyste
discrasies
of
the
body
,
before
syckenes
be
therin
confirmed
,
leauynge
the
residue
vnto
the
substanciall
lerning
and
circumspect
practise
of
good
phisitions
,
whiche
shal
the
more
easily
cure
the
pacientes
,
if
their
pacientes
do
not
disdayne
to
beare
away
and
folowe
my
counsell
.
And
fyrst
it
ought
to
be
considred
,
that
none
of
the
foure
complexions
,
haue
sooly
suche
dominion
in
one
man
or
womans
body
,
that
no
parte
of
any
other
complexion
is
therwith
myxt
.
For
whan
we
call
a
man
sanguine
,
colerike
,
fleumatike
,
or
melancolye
,
we
do
not
meane
,
that
he
hath
bloud
only
without
any
of
the
other
humours
,
or
coler
without
bloud
,
or
fleume
without
bloude
or
melancoly
,
or
melancoly
without
blod
or
coler
.
And
therfore
the
man
,
whyche
is
sanguyne
,
the
more
that
he
draweth
into
age
,
wherby
naturall
moysture
decayeth
,
the
more
is
he
colerike
,
by
reasone
that
heate
,
surmountynge
moysture
,
nedes
must
remayne
heate
and
drithe
.
semblably
the
colerike
man
,
the
more
that
he
waxeth
into
aege
,
the
more
naturall
heate
in
hym
is
abated
,
and
drythe
surmountyng
naturall
moysture
,
he
becometh
melancolyke
:
but
some
sanguyne
man
hath
in
the
proporcion
of
temperatures
,
a
greatter
myxture
with
coler
,
than
an
other
hath
.
Likewise
the
colerike
or
fleumatike
man
with
the
humour
of
sanguine
or
melancoly
.
And
therfore
late
practisers
of
phisike
are
wont
to
call
men
,
accordyng
to
the
mixture
of
their
complexions
,
whiche
man
receiueth
in
his
generation
,
the
humours
,
wherof
the
same
complexions
do
consist
,
beinge
augmented
superfluously
in
the
body
or
members
by
any
of
the
said
thinges
callid
not
natural
,
euery
of
them
do
semblably
augment
the
complexion
,
which
is
proper
vnto
hym
,
and
bryngeth
vnequall
temperature
vnto
the
bodye
.
And
for
these
causes
,
the
sanguine
or
fleumatike
man
or
woman
,
felynge
any
discrasy
by
choler
hapned
to
them
by
the
said
thynges
callyd
not
Naturalle
,
they
shall
vse
the
dyete
described
hereafter
to

whyche
is

Semblably

or

,
hauyng
any
discrasye
by
fleume
,
to
vse
the
diete

which
is

also
to

¶
The
diuision
of
melancoly
,
and
the
diete
of
persons
melancolike
.
Cap.
xviii
.
MElancolye
is
of
two
sortes
,
the
one
is
called
naturall
,
whiche
is
onelye
colde
and
drye
,
the
other
is
callyd
aduste
or
bourned
.
Naturall
melancolye
is
as
Galene
saythe
)
the
resydence
or
dregges
of
the
bloud
:
and
therfore
is
colder
and
thycker
than
the
bloude
.
Melancoly
aduste
is
in
foure
kyndes
,
eyther
it
is
of
naturall
melancoly
adust
,
or
of
the
more
pure
parte
of
the
bloudde
aduste
,
or
of
choler
adust
,
or
of
salt
fleume
adust
.
But
of
all
other
that
melancoly
is
wa●st
,
whiche
is
ingendred
of
choler
:
fynally
all
aduste
melancoly
annoyeth
the
wytte
and
iudgement
of
man
.
for
whan
that
humour
is
hette
,
it
maketh
menne
madde
,
and
whan
it
is
extincte
,
it
maketh
menne
fooles
,
forgetfull
,
and
dulle
.
The
natural
melancoly
Ex
Marel
lio
ficino
.
de
uita
sana
.
kepte
in
his
temperance
,
profyteth
moche
to
true
iugement
of
the
wyt
,
but
yet
if
●t
be
to
thick
,
it
darkeneth
the
spirites
,
maketh
one
timorous
,
and
the
wytte
dulle
.
If
it
be
myxt
with
fleume
,
it
mortifieth
the
bloud
with
to
moche
colde
.
Wherfore
it
may
not
be
so
litell
,
that
the
bloud
and
spirites
in
their
feruentnes
,
be
as
it
were
vnbridlyd
,
wherof
do
happen
vnstablenesse
of
wytte
&
slipper
remembraunce
:
nor
yet
so
moche
,
that
by
the
weight
therof
(
for
it
is
heuy
,
approchynge
nyghe
to
the
●●the
)
that
we
seme
to
be
alwaye
in
sleape
,
and
nede
a
spurre
to
prycke
vs
forwarde
.
Wherfore
it
is
ryght
expediente
,
to
kepe
that
humoure
as
thyn
as
nature
wyll
suffer
it
,
and
not
to
haue
to
moche
of
it
.
But
nowe
to
the
diete
pertaining
to
them
,
whom
this
humor
anoyeth
.
The
knowledge
,
that
melancoly
reigneth
,
is
oftentimes
heuynesse
of
mynde
,
or
feare
without
cause
,
slepynesse
in
the
members
,
many
crampes
without
●eplecion
or
emptynesse
,
sodayn
fury
,
sodayn
incontinencie
of
the
tongue
,
moche
solicitude
of
lyght
thynges
,
with
palenesse
of
the
vysage
,
and
feare
full
dreames
of
terrible
visyons
,
dreamynge
of
darkenes
,
depe
pyttes
,
or
death
of
frendes
or
acqueyntance
,
and
of
all
thyng
that
is
blacke
.
The
meates
conuenient
are
they
,
which
be
temperate
in
heate
,
but
specially
they
that
be
moyst
:
meates
soone

,
and
they
rather

,
temperately

THE

What
cruditie
is
,
and
remedies
therfore
.
Capitulo

CONCERNYNGE
syknes
,
and
thinges
accident
thervnto
,
I
wil
not
treate
of
in
this
warke
,
sauing
onely
that
I
wyll
somwhat
write
of
two
discrasies
of
the
body
,
whiche
do
happen
by
the
excesse
or
lacke
of
thinges
callid
not
natural
,
wherof
I
haue
spoken
before
.
The
one
is
callyd
cruditie
,
the
other
lassitude
,
whiche
althoughe
they
be
wordes
made
of
latine
,
hauyng
none
apte
englyshe
worde
therfore
,
yet
by
the
definitions
and
more
ample
declaration
of
them
,
they
shal
be
vnderstande
sufficiently
,
and
from
hensforthe
vsed
for
englysshe
.
But
fyrs●e
it
shall
be
necessarye
,
to
consyder
,
that
concoction
is
an
alteration
in
the
stomacke
of
meates
and
drynkes
,
accordynge
to
their
qualities
,
wherby
they
are
made
lyke
to
the
substance
of
the
body
.
Cruditie
is
a
vycious
concoction
of
thynges
receyued
,
they
not
being
holly
or
perfitely
altered
.
The
cause
therof
is
,
sometyme
the
distemperature
of
the
stomak
,
somtime
inflammations
,
somtime
matter
congeled
,
or
impostumes
in
the
stomake
,
otherwhile
ingurgitation
of
meate
and
drinke
:
or
for
the
vicious
qualitie
of
the
same
meates
or
drinkes
,
or
the
●eceyuyng
therof
out
of
order
,
or
lacke
of
exercise
,
or
of
conuenient
euacuation
.
The
meane
to
escape
cruditie
,
is
to
be
diligente
in
obseruation
of
the
councels
before
wrytten
,
concerning
the
thinges
called
not
natural
,
not
moche
vsyng
meates
that
be
very
harde
to

that

And
for
my
part
,
beynge
the

yeres
continually

I
neuer
founde
any

But
yf

If

for

Whan

bycause
that

best

colerike
,
and
only
serueth
for
them
that
are
replete
with
fleume
,
crude
or
vndigested
humours
,
clammy
or
fatte
.
The
diete
of
fattinge
thinges
,
dothe
nourishe
abundantly
,
soo
that
the
stomake
and
lyuer
do
digest
well
:
meate
of
good
iuyce
,
maketh
good
bloude
,
but
yet
it
stoppeth
the
lyuer
and
splene
.
These
do
they
,
whiche
make
fat
humours
onely
,
as
the
poulse
callyd
Lenticula
,
and
they
that
are
slymy
lyke
malowes
,
some
do
make
fat
humours
,
&
be
also
slymy
,
as
fishes
with
hard
shelles
.
Fynally
the
diete
,
whiche
doth
extenuate
and
make
leane
,
is
more
sure
for
kepyng
of
helth
,
than
that
,
whiche
fatteth
moch
.
Norishyng
meates
wold
be
therfore
moderately
vsed
,
whan
a
man
perceyueth
hym selfe
to
haue
nede
therof
,
it
may
be
most
surely
vsed
of
them
that
be
exercised
temperately
,
and
can
slepe
whan
they
lyst
.
They
that
can
not
slepe
by
reason
of
exercise
,
lette
theym
eschewe
fattynge
meates
,
lette
none
ydelle
persone
attempte
to
vse
theym
.
In
the
preseruation
of
helth
,
sluggardy
is
the
greattest
mischiefe
.
Like
as
the
temperate
mouing
is
good
,
so
is
the
meate
whiche
betwene
thycke
and
thynne
,
is
to
mannes
helth
most
conuenient
,
which
ingendreth
bloude
,
according
to
the
competent
constitution
of
mans
body
,
&
therfore
is
it
to
be
chiefly
vsed
.
Meate
of
yll
iuyce
is
alway
noyfull
,
wherfore
it
ought
to
be
eschewed
.
Lykewise
the
varietie
of
meates
is
to
be
obserued
diligently
,
for
it
is
a
great
thynge
to
couple
wel
togither
thinges
of
contrary
vertues
.
for
if
they
be
not
well
digested
,
that
whiche
is
receyued
,
may
bring
displeasure
.

I
pourposely

Marsilius

do
write
of
abundantly

forasmoch
as
I
desyre
to
be

compendious
.
One
thing
I
had
almost
forgotten
,
that
there
is
no
better
preseruatiue
,
than
to
fle
from
the
place
corrupted
,
betyme
and
farre
of

and
to

,
that

More
ouer
receiue
not

your

any
stuffe
,
that
commeth
out
of
a

,
wherin
any
persone
hath
ben

For
it
hath
bene
sene
,
that
suche

after
that

they
which

ben

&
sone
after

.
But
here
I
alway
except
the
power
of

,
which
is
wonderful
,
&
also
mercyful
,
aboue
mans
reson

THVS
make
I
an
ende
of
this
treatise
,
desyryng
them
that
shall
take
profite
therby
,
to
defende
it
ageynst
enuyouse
dysdayne
,
on
whom
I
haue
set
the
aduenture
,
for
the
loue
that
I
beare
to
my
countrey
:
requiringe
all
honest
phisitions
to
remember
,
that
the
intent
of
my
labour
was
,
the
men
and
women
redinge
this
warke
,
and
obseruinge
the
counsayles
therin
,
shulde
adapte
therby
their
bodyes
,
to
receyue
more
sure
remedy
by
the
medicines
prepared
by
good
phisitions
in
damgerous
syckenesses
,
they
kepinge
good
dyet
,
and
infourminge
diligently
the
same
phisitions
,
of
the
maner
of
their
affectes
,
passions
,
and
sensible
tokens
.
And
so
shall
the
noble
and
most
necessarye
science
of
phisike
,
with
the
ministers
therof
,
escape
the
sclaunder
,
which
they
haue
of
long
tyme
susteyned
,
and
accordynge
to
the
precepte
of
the
wyse
man
,
be
worthely
honoured
,
for
asmoche
as
the
hyghest
god
dyd
create
the
phisition
,
for
mans
necessitie
.
And
of
the
earth
created
medicine
,
and
th●
wyse
man
shal
not
abhorre
it
.
Thus
fare
ye
wel
gentyll

forget
me
not
with
your
good

praye
to
God
that
