I.
Of
Nature
,
Gods
Instrument
.
NAture
,
in
which
the
prints
of
Divinity
do
shine
forth
apparently
,
is
the
beginning
of
every
thing
,
whereby
all
things
consist
.
Nature
is
the
Mind
or
Divine
Reason
,
the
Efficient
of
natural
works
,
and
the
preserver
of
things
that
be
.
Which
power
can
be
ascribed
to
none
else
but
God
,
and
to
Christ
who
is
inseparably
united
with
him
.
For
,
He
is
the
brightnesse
of
his
Fathers
Glory
,
and
the
expresse
Image
of
his
substance
;
and
he
is
the
Maker
of
Nature
,
and
of
all
the
Universe
;
and
at
his
beck
,
without
any
matter
,
he
created
all
things
,
and
in
him
is
the
life
and
vigour
of
things
created
,
and
from
him
is
there
a
living
quality
infused
into
all
things
;
That
is
,
by
him
every
thing
subsists
in
its
natural
force
,
Colos.

Nature
is
neither
feeble
nor
idle
.
by
an
inset
faculty
propagates
and
maintains
it self
:
there
is
nothing
in
so
great
an
Universe
that
is
barren
or
idle
,
nothing
was
made
rashly
,
or
by
chance
,
or
in
vain
.
Every
Plant
hath
its
imbred
vertue
;
there
is
given
to
every
living
creature
it
s
own
disposition
,
and
natural
inclination
.
In
a
word
,
whatsoever
is
contain'd
within
the
compasse
of
the
world
and
of
the
Heavens
,
is
indued
with
an
imbred
force
for
its
peculiar
operations
,
and
all
things
are
disposed
in
their
places
and
times
,
and
by
an
admirable
viciscitude
,
they
all
perform
their
offices
and
courses
.
Wherefore
when
God
the
Efficient
and
Moderator
of
so
great
a
gift
,
had
view'd
all
things
that
he
had
made
in
six
dayes
,
they
seemed
to
him
exceeding
good
:
That
is
,
There
is
nothing
in
Nature
so
small
or
contemptible
,
that
may
not
make
men
in
some
things
to
wonder
at
it
.
And
what
men
report
that
Hieraclitus
Tarentinus
said
,
when
he
turned
aside
into
a
Bakers
house
;
Enter
,
here
are
the
Gods
also
;
the
same
must
we
suppose
of
Natures
works
.
For
in
the
smallest
works
of
Nature
the
Diety
shines
forth
,
and
all
things
are
good
and
beautifull
.
For
this
is
an
adjunct
to
the
works
of
Nature
,
that
nothing
is
done
rashly
or
by
chance
,
but
for
a
certain
end
.
And
as
when
we
talk
of
Houses
magnificently
built
,
we
speak
not
of
the
Lime
,
or
of
Bricks
,
or
Wood
,
and
the
other
materials
,
but
of
the
form
and
shape
,
and
structure
of
the
Edifices
,
and
for
what
purpose
they
were
built
;
Rom.

For
though
God
be
invisible
,
yet
by
the
things
created
,
as
St.
Paul
testifieth
,
and
from
the
world
so
wonderfully
created
,
and
so
wisely
governed
,
he
may
be
both
perceived
and
understood
.
And
,
as
Cicero
saith
,
By
the
memory
of
things
,
subtilty
of
Invention
,
and
quicknesse
of
motion
,
and
by
the
exceeding
beauty
of
Vertue
we
know
the
force
of
the
Mind
,
though
we
cannot
see
it
with
our
eyes
;
so
we
perceive
God
,
and
that
eternal
Mind
clearly
by
the
works
he
hath
made
,
We
all
are
held
in
God
,
and
though
no
noise
Be
heard
we
do
his
will
,
he
needs
no
voice
.
God
is
in
Sea
and
Land
and
Ayr
and
Sky
,
What
would
we
more
,
all
is
the
Diety
.
What
ere
we
see
,
or
where
so
ere
we
go
,
We
must
see
God
whether
we
will
or
no.
Who
then
would
not
love
him
,
whose
forces
he
manifestly
perceives
,
with
whose
benefits
he
is
abundantly
replenished
?
If
we
do
most
justly
honour
and
admire
Emperours
and
Princes
,
and
we
esteem
them
highly
,
and
present
them
with
great
presents
,
Nature
is
the
imbred
and
inset
quality
in
things
.
Nature
is
the
mixture
and
temper
of
the
four
Elements
.
Nature
is
the
force
and
propension
of
every
ones
mind
.
Nature
with
Philosophers
is
the
beginning
of
motion
and
rest
.
Nature
is
that
which
gives
the
form
to
every
thing
with
its
specificall
difference
.
Conrade
Gesner
,
a
man
of
hidden
learning
,
and
unwearied
pains
,
took
so
much
care
in
writing
the
History
of
all
living
Creatures
,
Conrade
Gesner
.
and
things
that
breathe
,
to
whom
I
give
the
Garland
before
all
others
:
So
many
more
in
their
descriptions
of
Plants
,
and
expressing
their
forms
,
have
deserved
very
well
;
But
as
all
this
is
plausible
and
popular
,
and
to
imitate
Nature
is
praise
worthy
,
so
it
doth
represent
all
living
creatures
in
dumb
shews
without
life
,
taft
,
savour
or
smell
,
and
void
of
all
vertue
.
For
the
inanimate
nature
of
things
,
is
not
silent
or
without
a
tongue
,
but
lively
,
cheerfull
,
upright
,
that
will
set
forth
it self
,
and
sweetly
allure
the
senses
,
so
that
it
will
much
move
him
that
contemplates
of
it
,
it
will
teach
him
many
things
,
and
will
draw
him
on
with
her
invitations
,
so
that
the
beholder
will
never
be
idle
,
or
rest
in
that
alone
,
but
will
from
hence
elevate
his
mind
to
him
,
by
whose
force
all
these
things
stand
and
consist
.
So
that
in
the
things
we
plainly
see
,
we
must
not
onely
look
upon
the
Excellent
workmanship
of
Nature
that
is
to
be
imitated
,
David
,
that
most
admired
the
works
of
God
,
did
wonderfully
extoll
this
admirable
face
of
Nature
,
and
ascribes
it
,
as
we
ought
,
to
the
Work-master
,
and
he
doth
with
exceeding
praises
adorn
his
works
that
are
seen
both
in
Heaven
above
,
and
in
the
Earth
beneath
,
and
followes
them
with
just
commendations
;
so
that
by
his
intent
and
fixed
contemplation
of
them
,
he
was
compelled
to
cry
out
,
How
wonderfull
are
thy
Works
,
O
Lord
!
thou
hast
made
all
things
in
wisdome
,
the
Earth
is
filled
with
the
plenty
thereof
.
This
consideration
of
Nature
seemed
profitable
to
the
very
Heathens
,
and
pleasant
to
their
minds
,
who
had
a
very
small
knowledge
of
Divine
things
:
Tully
in
Academicis
:
I
think
not
fit
,
that
natural
questions
are
ever
to
be
banished
;
for
it
is
the
very
food
of
our
Souls
and
Mind
to
contemplate
the
works
of
Nature
:
for
we
are
made
more
attentive
,
and
we
despise
transitory
fading
things
,
fastning
our
minds
on
heavenly
things
.
The
very
searching
out
of
things
begets
delight
,
and
the
mind
is
fill'd
and
affected
with
great
delight
.
CHAP.
II.
Man's
Worth
and
Excellency
.
Thou
hast
made
him
(
saith
he
)
but
little
lower
than
the
Angels
,
and
as
it
were
a
God
thou
hast
clothed
him
with
glory
and
honour
,
and
hast
set
him
over
the
works
of
thy
hands
.
He
obtained
this
prerogative
even
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
I
will
praise
thee
,
O
Lord
,
because
I
am
wonderfully
made
,
thy
works
are
wonderfull
,
my
soul
searcheth
and
knoweth
it
right
well
;
thou
knewest
all
my
bones
when
I
was
fashioned
in
the
secret
place
,
and
when
I
was
wonderfully
formed
in
my
Mothers
womb
.
Thy
eyes
beheld
me
being
yet
unmade
,
and
in
thy
bock
were
all
my
members
written
,
which
day
by
day
were
fashioned
.
Thy
knowledge
is
wonderfull
unto
me
,
whereby
I
was
made
,
I
cannot
understand
it
.
For
when
(
saith
he
)
I
throughly
search
out
my self
,
and
when
I
diligently
consider
the
structure
of
my
body
,
the
excellency
of
my
Soul
,
and
the
force
of
my
Mind
,
and
I
cannot
by
Reason
and
Judgment
attain
thereunto
,
I
both
adore
thy
Majesty
,
and
embrace
thy
bounty
.
Now
let
us
a
little
set
that
most
comely
form
aside
,
and
the
other
parts
of
the
Body
visible
,
and
we
will
consider
of
the
scituation
of
the
internal
Bowels
,
the
powers
of
the
natural
faculties
,
the
nerves
arising
originally
from
the
brain
,
the
arterial
pipes
from
the
heart
,
and
the
propagation
of
the
veins
from
the
Liver
,
also
the
faculties
and
powers
of
the
Soul
,
whereby
she
doth
produce
and
perfect
her
functions
.
Mans
Mind
is
full
of
fiery
vigour
,
For
both
do
ask
each
others
help
we
see
,
The
body
for
a
time
is
transitory
and
mortal
;
but
since
it
is
the
vessel
and
receptacle
of
the
Soul
,
and
useth
its
Ministery
,
God
hath
also
design'd
that
for
eternity
;
and
by
the
mystery
of
the
resurrection
it
shall
be
made
partaker
of
the
same
gift
,
that
is
,
of
immortality
,
as
it
is
the
will
of
God
.
CHAP.
III.
It
is
most
natural
to
procreate
one
like
himself
,
and
men
ought
to
use
it
reverently
as
a
divine
gift
,
and
Ordinance
of
God
.
WHen
God
had
made
the
Heavens
and
this
sublunary
world
,
and
framed
them
with
so
admirable
wisdom
and
skill
,
that
there
was
nothing
wanting
for
necessary
uses
,
commodity
and
pleasure
:
it
seemed
good
to
him
to
make
One
that
might
have
the
use
of
them
,
and
that
might
delight
in
these
things
and
enjoy
them
:
Wherefore
when
all
the
ornaments
of
nature
were
compleat
and
perfected
,
he
brought
man
into
the
world
,
as
into
his
own
possession
,
and
that
he
might
not
lead
a
disconsolate
life
,
he
gave
a
woman
for
an
helper
and
companion
,
All
men
on
earth
,
and
Beasts
and
Birds
above
,
Hast
thou
not
poured
me
forth
as
Milk
,
and
Crudled
me
as
Cheese
?
Thou
hast
compassed
me
about
with
skin
and
flesh
,
thou
hast
made
me
with
bones
and
sinews
,
and
my
life
is
from
thee
,
and
thy
force
hath
upheld
my
breath
?
Like
to
this
is
that
saying
of
the
wise
Hebrew
,
who
describes
the
beginnings
of
his
birth
thus
.
I
am
also
a
mortal
man
like
to
other
men
,
the
off
spring
of
the
first
man
on
earth
,
and
I
was
made
flesh
in
my
mothers
womb
,
that
came
from
coagulated
blood
in
ten
Moneths
,
from
the
seed
of
man
,
and
the
pleasure
that
comes
with
sleep
.
And
when
I
was
born
,
I
drew
in
the
common
Ayre
,
CHAP.
IV.
Of
the
likenesse
of
Parents
and
Children
;
whence
it
is
that
outward
accidents
are
communicated
to
the
Children
and
the
Mothers
Imagination
is
the
cause
of
the
production
of
many
Forms
:
Jacob
used
that
stratagem
,
who
was
afterwards
called
Israel
,
laying
rods
he
had
pilled
off
the
rinds
from
;
before
them
every
where
,
12.
Pliny
his
opinion
of
the
cause
of
similitude
.
wherein
many
accidents
have
great
force
;
as
sight
,
hearing
,
memory
,
forms
taken
up
at
the
very
instant
of
conception
,
and
a
sudden
thought
rising
of
any
thing
is
supposed
to
give
the
form
and
similitude
;
hence
some
are
like
their
Grandfathers
,
others
like
their
Fathers
,
or
some
other
kindred
.
Hence
there
are
more
differences
in
Man
than
in
other
Creatures
,
because
the
quicknesse
of
his
thought
,
and
nimblenesse
of
his
mind
,
and
variety
of
his
wit
,
imprint
divers
marks
,
because
other
creatures
have
their
minds
fixed
almost
and
unmoved
,
and
all
of
the
same
kind
are
alike
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
a
woman
may
cause
her
Child
to
have
a
strange
form
,
and
nothing
like
to
the
father
.
So
a
woman
that
had
layn
with
another
besides
her
husband
,
fearing
lest
her
husband
should
come
in
the
mean
time
,
after
9.
moneths
she
brought
forth
a
Child
not
like
the
party
that
she
lay
with
,
but
like
her
husband
that
was
absent
.
There
is
a
very
witty
Epigram
written
of
this
,
Tho:
More

Epigram

by
that
most
ingenious
Man
Sir
Thomas
More

Those
four
boys
,

,
Which
thy
Wife
brought
forth
,
Thou
think'st
are
not
thine
,

naught-worth
.
But
that
Boy
alone
That
she
lately
bore
,
Like
thee
,
for
thine
own
Thou
tak'st
,
and
no
more
.
Four
as

Rejected
are
in
scorn
,
Yet
wise
men
suppose
,
That
the
Mothers
mind
Doth
the
Child
dispose
For
likenesse
in
's
kind
.
Four

begot
When
that
many

From

,
thou
wert
not

nor

This
last
like
to
thee
,
Was
begot
in
fear
,
Thy
Wife
was
not
free
Thou
wert
then
too
near
.
This
I
think
was
it
,
That
thy
likenesse
hit
.
Hence
it
followes
,
that
the
argument
is
vain
,
to
assign
the
Father
from
the
likenesse
of
the
Child
.
Horace

Calves

And
because

So
Plautus

I
do
not

that
to
be
the
dowry
which
people
call
so
,
but
chastity
and
bashfulnesse
,
and
a
moderate
desire
,
a
fear
of
the
Gods
,
love
of
Parents
,
and
concord
with
kindred
.
Wherefore
besides
others
,
For
since
all
their
forces
and
natural
faculties
are
wholly
employed
to
form
the
child
,
it
happens
that
when
the
woman
is
any
way
offended
,
all
the
humours
and
spirits
run
downwards
to
the
womb
.
And
when
the
imagination
of
a
thing
that
sticks
fast
in
the
mind
joyns
with
these
,
it
frames
the
like
fashion
on
the
child
that
the
mind
conceives
.
CHAP.
V.
Of
the
strange
longing
of
Women
with
child
,
and
their
insatiable
desire
of
things
;
And
if
they
cannot
get
them
they
are
in
danger
of
life
.
THe
order
of
the
former
narration
seems
to
require
me
to
speak
something
concerning
the
longing
of
Women
.
Something
worse
meat
and
drink
,
so
it
please
,
is
better
than
that
which
is
better
and
pleaseth
not
so
well
.
For
all
those
things
that
relish
best
in
the
Palate
,
and
are
most
pleasing
to
the
taste
,
are
more
easily

though

,
For
Hippocrates
the
Authour
of

,
and
Galen
a
great
lover
of
it
,
do
rightly
professe
in
many
places
that
the
menstrual
bloud
feeds
the
child
,
and
that
the
child
grows
by
receiving
that
flowing
out
of
the
veins
.
The

is
as

Aphoris
.
The
menstruall
blood
is
one
principle
of
our
Generation
,
and
is
by
nature
moist
.
Hippocrates
.
If
a
Woman
with
child
have
her
courses
,
the
child
cannot
be
well
,
For
the
blood
is
taken
thus
from
her
,
that
is
directed
to
the
womb
from
all
the
body
,
to
feed
the
child
.
If
therefore
the
courses
running
away
,
weaken
the
child
,
and
defraud
him
of
his
nourishment
,
it
must
needs
be
that
they
do
good
when
they
are
stopt
,
and
serve
to
feed
the
child
all
the
while
it
is
in
the
womb
.

The
Soul
comes
not
from
the
Parents
Seed
,
but
is
infused
by
God
,
and
can
neither
dye
nor
corrupt
,
what
day
of
Child-bearing
it
is
infused
.
ex
traduce
from
our
Parents
,
or
from
the
seminal
faculty
,
but
it
is
free
from
all
grosse
matter
,
and
all
corporeal
corruption
,
and
being
new
created
by
God
,
Soules
cannot
dye
;
when
they
their
bodies
leave
,
Then
other
Bodies
do
the
same
receave
;
All
things
are
chang'd
,
but
nothing
quite
decayes
,
Nature
is
flitting
,
one
state
never
stayes
.
Souls
wander
here
and
there
,
from
Beasts
to
Men
,
They
come
,
and
then
to
beasts
return
again
.
Hence
these
superstitious
Philosophers
forbad
the
eating
of
flesh
,
thinking
it
abominable
to
taste
the
flesh
of
any
creature
,
lest
one
might
cnance
to
eat
his
Grandfather
in
a
calf
,
Nature
of
the
Infant
,
If
a
Male
(
saith
he
)
be
perfect
on
the
30
day
,
he
will
move
on
the
60
day
,
and
he
will
be
born
in
the
seventh
moneth
:
But
if
he
be
perfectly
formed
on
the
35
day
,
he
will
move
on
the
70
day
,
and
begin
to
come
forth
in
the
eighth
moneth
:
But
if
he
be
perfectly
formed
on
the
45
day
,
he
moves
the
90
day
,
and
is
.
born
in
nine
moneths
.
Out
of
which
passing
of
dayes
and
moneths
it
appears
clearly
,
that
the
day
of
forming
being
doubled
,
makes
up
the
day
of
moving
;
and
the
day
of
moving
,
3.
times
reckoned
,
makes
up
the
time
of
being
born
.
For
example
,
where
35
perfects
'
the
form
,
if
you
double
that
,
it
will
make
70
,
the
day
of
motion
;
and
that
,
3.
times
taken
,
makes
206
dayes
or
7.
moneths
,
giving
every
moneth
30
dayes
,
so
you
must
consider
of
the
rest
.
But
a
Female
is
made
perfect
in
longer
time
than
a
Male
,
If
anyone
(
saith
he
)
strike
a
woman
great
with
child
,
and
she
miscarry
,
if
the
child
were
formed
,
he
shall
pay
life
for
life
,
but
if
the
child
were
not
alive
,
he
shall
pay
a
sum
of
money
for
it
.
Whereby
he
proves
that
the
soul
is
not
in
the
child
,
nor
can
it
be
called
Man
,
unlesse
all
the
members
be
perfected
,
that
it
have
the
perfect
form
of
a
man
.
Since
therefore
it
is
infused
into
the
body
made
,
no
man
may
think
it
comes
in
with
the
seed
.
For
if
the
rational
immortal
Soul
were
in
the
seed
,
or
should
flie
out
with
it
,
many
souls
(
saith
he
)
would
vanish
with
the
daily
running
forth
of
the
Seed
.
Wherefore
it
is
not
fit
to
think
that
the
Soul
was
propagated
by
Adam
,
or
any
of
our
progenitours
,
but
that
God
doth
every
moment
create
and
infuse
them
.
Which
I
think
may
be
confirmed
by
this
saying
of
our
Saviour
;
My
Father
worketh
unto
this
time
,
and
I
do
work
.
Whereby
he
implyes
that
the
great
and
good
God
the
Father
;
and
the
Son
also
that
is
equal
to
him
,
and
of
the
same
essence
,
are
still
working
in
creating
and
saving
the
souls
of
men
,
and
are
busied
in
producing
them
,
and
of
other
Creatures
souls
also
,
whereby
they
live
and
have
their
being
.
To
which
belongs
that
of
the
Psalmist
.
God
saves
both
man
and
beast
,
and
feeds
and
fills
them
with
his
plenty
.

Davids
words
explained
.
Who
being
peculiarly
affected
toward
man
,
he
hath
bestowed
more
rare
gifts
on
his
soul
.
For
man
is
in
a
more
excellent
condition
by
far
than
the
beasts
are
.
For
God
hath
given
to
man
reason
,
and
a
mind
which
other
creatures
have
not
,
and
hath
taught
him
to
know
his
maked
,
and
hath
breathed
into
him
a
divine
soul
;
which
bounty
Job
confesseth
;
He
teacheth
us
more
than
the
beasts
of
the
Earth
,
he
instructeth
us
above
the
Fouls
of
the
Ayre
,
whereby
he
shews
that
men
excell
other
creatures
,
and
that
God
hath
given
man
better
parts
in
abundance
.
But
imperfect
births
and
Monsters
want
these
singular
gifts
of
God
:
For
though
some
of
them
pan●
and
seem
to
be
alive
,
yet
they
have
not
that
from
a
rational
soul
,
but
from
the
forming
faculty
,
and
the
generative
spirit
,
that
are
in
the
seed
and
bloud
;
For
the
life
of
every
Creature
is
in
the
blood
thereof
:
For
the
life
and
spirit
of
every
living
creature
is
in
the
blood
,
and
fed
by
it
,
as
the
Lamp
is
by
the
oyle
.
Which
force
of
the
soul
,
as
Galen
knew
very
well
,
so
he
ingenuously
confesseth
that
he
is
ignorant
what
is
the
substance
of
Mans
soul
,
and
whence
it
comes
.
But
had
he
been
learned
in
better
Philosophy
,
So
many
Men
,
so
many
minds
,
Which
I
think
proceeds
onely
from
the
divers
conditions
of
their
souls
.
For
God
,
saith
David
,
Keep
thy
heart
with
all
diligence
,
because
life
proceeds
therefrom
.
CHAP.
XII
.
The
Soul
though
it
be
incorporeal
,
not
made
of
matter
,
or
Elements
,
yet
is
it
subject
to
passions
and
perturbations
,
and
such
affections
as
redound
upon
the
Body
.
SInce
the
Soul
performs
her
functions
by
the
body
,
and
carrieth
that
house
about
with
her
,
So
the
Body
hurt
doth
ill
affect
the
Mind
,
serm.

And
presseth
down
the
Soul
,
as
oft
we
find
.
The
wise
Hebrew
who
saw
that
before
Horace
,
saith
,
That
the
corruptible
body
presseth
down
the
Soul
,
and
overcomes
the
Mind
that
meditates
on
many
things
.
And
though
the
substance
of
the
Soul
is
thought
to
contract
no
stain
or
fault
from
the
body
;
yet
as
a
thick
cloud
darkneth
the
Sun
beams
,
They
that
a
guilty
Mind
torments
within
,
To
this
may
be
referred
that
of
Isaiah
,
The
heart
of
the
wicked
is
as
the
foaming
Sea
,
whose
waves
cast
up
mire
and
dirt
,
for
they
have
no
rest
,
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked
,
saith
the
Lord
.
An
ill
Mind
may
be
merry
oft-times
,
but
is
never
secure
.
The
shew
of
their
countenance
doth
witnesse
against
them
,
that
is
,
their
face
and
outward
habit
of
their
body
,
doth
argue
them
to
be
wicked
,
and
that
they
meditate
nothing
but
deceits
and
mischiefs
.
To
which
agrees
that
saying
of
Solomon
,
The
fools
eyes
wander
every
way
.
In
the
face
of
the
wise
wisdome
shines
:
for
the
countenance
of
a
man
is
a
certain
sign
of
his
mind
,
and
brings
forth
what
lyeth
secretly
within
.
So
Catiline's
pale
face
,
saith
Tully
,
filthy
eyes
,
sometimes
quick
,
sometimes
slow
gate
,
did
clearly
bewray
his
wicked
heart
:
he
had
an
impure
mind
,
hatefull
to
God
and
Man
,
that
could
be
quieted
with
nothing
,
his
conscience
did
so
wound
him
with
fear
and
restlesnesse
.
There
is
never
so
small
a
fault
of
the
Mind
,
but
will
appear
somewhat
in
the
outward
lineaments
of
the
body
.
For
hatred
,
anger
,
fear
,
sorrow
,
love
,
envy
,
treason
,
a
desire
to
rob
and
steal
,
will
presently
be
seen
in
the
face
.
He
was
dead
in
his
own
body
,
and
living
in
anothers
.
All
which
confirm
,
that
vices
go
and
come
from
one
part
to
another
,
and
that
one
partakes
of
the
others
hurt
,
and
that
they
mutually
suffer
one
the
others
ill
.
All
vices
in
Man
grow
up
in
the
Soul
,
for
that
onely
lives
,
feels
,
and
moves
.
But
the
Soul
(
as
he
maintains
)
so
useth
the
body
,
as
the
Smith
useth
a
Hammer
or
an
Anvil
,
wherein
it
forgeth
all
the
Idols
of
obscenenesse
and
filthinesse
,
and
makes
all
Images
of
ill
desires
.
the
flesh
dictates
no
sins
,
nor
invents
any
mischiefs
,
nor
doth
it
frame
thoughts
,
or
dispose
of
what
must
be
done
,
but
the
body
is
the
Soul's
shop
,
and
what
the
Soul
affects
,
it
performs
by
the
body
.
But
where
it
is
said
,
that
the
flesh
contends
against
the
spirit
,
and
the
spirit
against
the
flesh
,
he
thinks
it
spoken
figuratively
;
because
all
that
contention
is
of
the
Mind
against
it self
,
striving
with
its
own
will
.
For
the
Mind
,
being
drunk
with
the
venom
of
its
own
desire
,
applyes
the
body
in
acting
such
contumelies
,
and
so
they
joyntly
sink
down
into
deadly
pleasures
,
and
fall
asleep
in
them
.
For
the
spirit
doth
lust
against
the
flesh
,
and
the
flesh
against
the
spirit
;
they
are
his
own
words
;
and
these
two
are
enemies
,
so
that
a
man
cannot
do
what
he
would
.
For
the
earthly
mansion
is
a
burden
to
the
soul
,
and
stops
the
mind
from
doing
what
it
intends
.
The
spirit
is
ready
,
but
the
flesh
is
weak
.
For
the
flesh
is
deaf
when
the
spirit
directs
it
,
and
admonisheth
it
,
and
is
unwilling
to
hearken
to
it
.
As
a
man
going
a
Journey
,
He
seems
to
me
to
argue
very
wittily
.
For
if
the
soul
bound
to
the
body
were
free
of
all
grief
or
passions
,
it
could
feel
no
pain
or
torments
in
hell
.
But
that
is
not
so
,
their
worn
dieth
not
,
and
their
fire
is
not
quenched
.
Did
ere
the
Bull
of
Brasse
so
fiercely
roar
,
Or
the
Sword
hanging
down
,
tormented
more
The
heart
of
Damocles
?
Wherefore
the
soul
is
afflicted
an
other
way
,
by
feeling
and
touching
,
than
the
body
is
when
it
is
tormented
by
whipping
and
scourging
,
whilst
it
is
wounded
,
or
racked
,
or
burnt
.
For
the
rational
soul
being
a
spirit
incorporeal
,
hath
inward
tortures
,
griefs
,
fears
,
jealousies
,
envies
,
hatred
,
indignation
,
and
rackings
of
conscience
.
Which
affections
,
are
more
properly
perturbations
,
if
they
stay
longer
in
the
mind
,
and
cannot
be
discussed
by
reason
,
nor
by
divine
help
,
they
not
onely
afflict
the
mind
most
cruelly
,
but
the
body
also
.
Wherefore
they
are
both
subject
to
one
the
others
laws
,
and
bound
mutually
together
.
Yet
the
soul
hath
this
prerogative
,
for
her
honour
and
dignity
,
Wherefore
the
soul
doth
two
waies
perfect
her
faculties
;
some
of
them
by
organs
,
some
without
them
,
and
with
no
help
of
the
body
.
So
,
what
actions
are
done
by
reason
and
understanding
,
and
judgment
of
the
mind
are
the
offices
of
the
soul
alone
;
But
manual
actions
cannot
be
done
without
the
Ministry
of
the
body
.
For
a
man
conceives
in
his
mind
the
arts
of
Architecture
,
plaistring
,
painting
,
and
other
arts
usefull
for
man
,
but
he
works
them
with
his
hands
,
My
Soul
is
sorrowful
unto
death
;
and
he
prays
against
it
unto
his
Father
.
And
though
the
Souldiers
insolence
did
not
as
yet
lay
hold
of
him
,
or
insult
over
him
;
yet
his
whole
mind
and
thoughts
were
bent
upon
the
danger
that
was
at
hand
,
and
he
was
stricken
with
so
much
terrour
and
horrour
,
I
could
reckon
up
a
large
Catalogue
of
those
that
being
in
great
calamities
were
sorely
wounded
in
their
souls
.
The
multitude
of
Prophets
will
serve
for
examples
,
as
Helias
,
Helizeus
,
David
,

of

that
indefatigable
maintainer
of
our
Faith

St.

who
all
served
God

the

faithfully
,
who
besides
the

of
their
bodies
,
and
their
losses
and
straights
they
sustain'd
,
had
their
Souls
gall'd
with
most
bitter
pangs
.
Whosoever
shall
consider
with
himself
what
griefs
seised
upon
their
souls
,
what
tortures
of
mind
they
endured
,
what
trembling
:
when
as
they
were
driven
out
of
their
Countreys
,
wanting
the
comfort
of
their
friends
and
kindred
,
exposed
to
scorns
,
whippings
,
reproaches
,
afflicted
,
pressed
down
,
trod
under
feet
,
proscribed
,
and
they
were
forced
to
passe
thorow
desarts
where
no
men
could
follow
them
,
to
escape
the
fury
of
their
Enemies
,
and
to
save
their
lives
.
Why
art
thou
troubled
,
O
my
Soul
,
and
why
art
thou
disquieted
within
me
?
my
Soul
fainted
within
me
,
my
Mind
refused
comfort
.
Again
,
when
he
is
refreshed
,
and
finds
Gods
favour
,
Enter
my
Soul
into
thy
rest
,
for
the
Lord
hath
done
good
unto
thee
;
Praise
the
Lord
,
O
my
soul
,
and
all
that
is
within
me
,
praise
his
holy
Name
.
My
soul
longed
after
thee
,
thy
right
hand
hath
sustained
me
.
Infinite
more
Examples
might
be
alledged
,
whereby
I
think
the
natural
faculties
of
the
Soul
onely
are
not
to
be
understood
,
and
the
powers
that
shall
quickly
dye
,
but
the
reasonable
Soul
,
which
partakes
of
a
Divine
Nature
,
from
which
all
actions
of
the
body
proceed
,
and
all
the
functions
are
perfected
.
In
this
part
God
hath
set
Synteresis
,
that
is
,
CHAP.
XIII
.
That
the
Souls
of
Men
are
not
equal
in
all
things
,
nor
of
the
same
condition
and
dignity
,
but
one
is
better
than
another
.
THough
I
mentioned
some
things
a
little
before
that
concern
this
Argument
,
and
that
may
establish
this
Paradox
,
yet
I
believe
it
will
be
worth
my
Labour
,
if
I
enlarge
this
in
a
particular
treaty
.
Many
are
of
that
opinion
,
that
the
Souls
of
Men
are
of
the
same
worth
and
dignity
,
As
many
as
sleep
in
the
dust
shall
awake
,
some
to
life
eternal
,
some
to
disgrace
and
punishment
and
condemnation
.
And
they
that
are
learned
shall
shine
as
the
Firmament
,
and
they
that
have
taught
many
righteousness
,
shall
shine
as
Stars
for
ever
and
ever
.
I
find
St.
Paul
observed
the
same
difference
between
incorporeal
substances
,
taking
a
similitude
from
the
Stars
.
For
as
one
Star
is
brighter
than
another
,
and
their
bodies
are
very
divers
,
so
great
is
the
difference
in
the
souls
of
men
,
and
in
the
resurrection
one
Soul
shall
be
far
more
glorious
than
another
.
Gregory
Nyssen
testifies
)
hath
appointed
,
according
to
the
several
species
of
Animals
,
that
their
Souls
should
be
different
one
from
another
,
and
for
every
body
he
hath
assigned
a
convenient
soul
.
So
to
Bruit
beasts
God
hath
not
given
a
reasonable
understanding
,
but
natural
industry
,
whereby
they
shun
all
snares
and
dangers
.
Wherefore
every
kind
of
Animals
is
moved
by
the
same
Inclination
.
For
every
Hare
is
fearful
,
every
dog
smells
well
,
The
manifestation
of
the
Spirit
is
given
to
every
one
to
profit
withall
;
and
men
have
several
offices
appointed
to
them
,
which
God
dristributes
to
every
one
as
he
pleases
,
dividing
to
every
man
his
Spirit
as
he
will
;
so
every
man
hath
his
own
proper
soul
made
by
the
same
God
,
but
not
of
the
same
dignity
,
not
endowed
with
the
same
understanding
of
things
,
yet
so
as
it
is
capable
both
of
vice
and
vertue
,
and
by
its
imbred
force
it
may
embrace
the
best
things
;
and
avoid
what
is
evill
,
though
she
can
do
all
but
weakly
where
she
wants
Divine
assistance
:
stir
up
the
gift
of
God
that
is
within
them
,
till
I
come
;
Which
when
Paul
an
instrument
of
Election
did
diligently
teach
unto
others
,
he
studied
by
all
means
to
do
that
,
There
is
a
great
disproportion
between
the
souls
of
good
and
wicked
men
both
in
this
world
and
in
the
world
to
come
,
All
Souls
are
spritefull
,
and
from
Heaven
come
.

Of
the
immortality
of
the
Soul
,
and
certainty
of
the
Resurrection
;
Also
how
that
may
be
done
;
Lastly
how
much
our
minds
are
raysed
toward
God
from
so
great
a
benefit
,
and
what
great
confidence
we
may
have
when
we
die
that
we
shall
be
saved
.
But
since
God
created
all
things
for
mans
sake
,
God
created
onely
Man
for
himself
,
and
like
unto
him
,
and
therefore
God
loved
man
wonderfully
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
and
delighted
to
hold
familiarity
,
and
to
keep
company
with
man
;
so
that
for
man's
sake
he
was
pleased
to
be
united
to
the
humane
nature
,
and
the
immortal
God
was
inseparably
joyn'd
to
mortall
Man
;
and
thereby
the
Divine
Nature
is
fast
with
the
humane
Nature
,
the
Wisdome
of
the
Father
,
I
was
with
God
in
the
begining
before
any
thing
was
made
,
I
was
with
him
from
eternity
;
when
he
made
the
Heavens
I
was
there
,
when
he
compassed
in
the
depths
by
a
Law
I
was
present
,
when
he
fastned
the
Heavens
above
,
and
the
earth
beneath
,
I
was
with
him
ordering
all
things
,
and
was
continually
delighting
before
him
,
recreating
my self
in
the
earth
,
and
my
delight
was
with
the
sons
of
men
.
Which
Love
and
good
will
of
God
towards
Man
,
as
St.
Paul
calls
it
,
Let
us
make
(
saith
he
)
Man
after
our
own
Image
.
In
which
words
he
did
not
mention
one
part
onely
,
but
the
whole
Man
,
Soul
and
Body
;
for
both
these
joyn'd
together
make
a
man
:
for
when
these
are
divided
a
man
dyes
,
and
is
call'd
a
man
no
longer
.
Wherefore
Reason
evinceth
,
that
both
parts
shall
have
the
same
end
,
either
blessednesse
if
they
live
well
,
or
misery
if
ill
.
Nor
were
it
reasonable
,
that
the
body
should
fail
of
this
hope
of
happinesse
,
What
consists
not
of
Elements
is
immortal
,
and
can
never
dye
;
the
Soul
is
not
made
of
the
Elements
,
nor
of
concrete
matter
,
but
came
from
God
;
therefore
it
cannot
dye
.
Not
could
there
be
so
great
force
in
the
Souls
of
men
,
such
sharpnesse
of
wit
,
such
excellency
of
Learning
,
such
subtilty
of
Invention
,
such
knowledge
of
things
,
or
love
or
knowledge
of
God
,
unlesse
the
Soul
were
separated
from
earthly
drosse
,
and
did
partake
of
Divinity
,
and
were
ordain'd
for
Eternity
.
Which
perswasion
also
was
held
by
the
Antients

15.
Paul's
sound
reasons
to
prove
Immortality
.
If
we
have
hopes
in
Christ
in
this
life
onely
,
we
were
of
all
men
the
most
miserable
:
and
they
were
in
a
far
better
condition
,
who
are
strangers
to
Christ
,
and
live
pleasantly
,
and
take
their
ease
,
than
Christians
,
who
being
deluded
with
vain
hopes
,
suffer
themselves
to
be
vexed
,
and
to
be
the
laughing
stock
and
refuse
of
the
whole
world
.
But
if
all
that
is
Man
,
and
all
mans
hopes
end
in
death
,
I
have
fought
a
good
fight
,
I
have
finished
my
course
,
I
have
kept
the
faith
,
henceforth
there
is
laid
up
for
me
a
Crown
of
righteousnesse
,
which
God
the
just
Judge
shall
give
unto
me
;
and
not
to
me
onely
,
but
to
as
many
as
believe
in
him
,
and
trust
in
his
promise
.
Wherefore
no
man
ought
to
cast
aside
this
hope
,
or
let
his
mind
fall
off
from
an
expectation
of
so
great
felicity
.
For
every
man's
mind
dictates
to
him
the
truth
of
this
matter
,
his
understanding
perceives
it
,
his
reason
confirms
it
,
Nature
it self
speaks
it
.
Add
to
this
,
that
all
men
have
a
rational
desire
of
Immortality
,
and
every
man
desires
to
preserve
the
memory
of
himself
so
long
as
he
can
,
and
would
have
it
continued
to
posterity
,
never
to
be
forgotten
by
Age.
in
words
of
mans
wisdome
,
Job
,
Esdras
,
and
chiefly
Paul
,
have
given
us
rules
concerning
this
,
O
the
depth
of
the
riches
of
the
wisdome
and
knowledge
of
God!
how
unsearchable
are
his
Judgments
,
and
his
wayes
past
finding
out
!
for
who
hath
known
the
mind
of
the
Lord
?
or
who
hath
been
his
Counsellour
?
for
by
him
,
and
through
him
,
and
to
him
are
all
things
.
Moreover
that
no
man
might
suffer
himself
to
be
drawn
off
from
this
solid
foundation
,
on
which
all
man's
hope
rests
,
and
the
strength
of
his
salvation
turns
upon
it
,
Paul
doth
stifly
urge
and
inculcate
the
resurrection
,
An
example
of
this
was
first
begun
in
Christ
,
who
by
nothing
did
more
effectually
declare
his
Divinity
,
than
by
his
triumphant
Resurrection
.
That
example
of
his
must
be
shew'd
forth
in
all
by
his
vertue
;
who
,
as
Paul
saith
,
shall
change
our
vile
bodies
,
and
make
them
like
his
glorious
body
,
according
to
his
power
,
whereby
he
can
subject
all
things
unto
himself
.
Wherefore
the
Apostle
would
not
have
us
to
be
tormented
with
fear
of
death
,
or
to
grieve
over-much
for
it
.
For
they
that
sleep
in
Christ
,
shall
be
raised
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
shall
live
everlastingly
with
him
.
Which
our
Saviour
foretold
that
it
should
so
come
to
passe
;
The
hour
shall
come
,
that
all
that
are
in
their
graves
shall
hear
his
voyce
,
and
they
that
have
done
well
shall
come
forth
to
the
Resurrection
of
Life
,
and
they
that
have
done
evil
to
the
resurrection
of
condemnation
.
By
which
words
he
comforts
dejected
minds
,
I
know
that
my
Redeemer
liveth
,
and
I
shall
rise
out
of
the
Earth
in
the
last
day
,
and
I
shall
see
God
my
Saviour
in
my
flesh
,
whom
I
shall
behold
my self
,
and
not
another
for
me
:
This
hope
is
laid
up
in
my
brest
,
that
is
,
no
man
shall
take
from
me
this
confidence
and
assurance
.
Since
therefore
all
hopes
of
obtaining
salvation
,
By
him
we
have
admission
and
entrance
unto
the
Father
.
He
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sins
.
For
so
God
loved
the
world
,
that
he
gave
his
onely
Sonne
to
redeem
us
,
that
every
one
that
believes
in
him
,
trusts
in
him
,
and
relyeth
on
his
promises
,
may
not
perish
,
but
have
everlasting
life
.
Which
confidence
raiseth
our
minds
to
bring
forth
good
fruits
by
works
of
charity
,
whereby
we
love
God
above
all
things
,
and
our
neighbour
for
his
sake
.
Abba
Father
.
For
the
Spirit
of
Adoption
,
Christ
instituted
his
holy
Supper
;
Therefore
by
this
mystical
Bread
and
holy
Sacrament
we
are
assured
that
Christ
is
in
us
,
and
we
in
him
,
and
that
we
are
joyned
to
him
by
the
most
firm
bond
of
love
.
Since
therefore
those
heroick
and
divine
vertues
inspired
by
God
,
which
are
so
joyned
together
,
that
they
can
never
be
asunder
,
are
so
necessary
to
salvation
,
the
mind
must
be
daily
busied
in
them
,
that
after
the
troubles
of
this
life
are
past
,
after
that
we
have
approved
the
profession
of
our
faith
,
and
shew'd
it
openly
,
which
God
requires
we
should
do
,
Let
us
come
with
boldnesse
to
the
Throne
of
Grace
,
that
we
may
find
mercy
in
time
of
need
.
And
let
us
continually
from
our
very
heart
speak
in
the
ears
of
our
merciful
and
placable
Judge
,
those
words
of
the
Prophet
;
Enter
not
into
Judgment
with
thy
servant
,
O
Lord
,
because
in
thy
sight
no
man
living
shall
be
justified
.
If
thou
Lord
shouldst
observe
what
is
done
amisse
,
who
might
abide
it
?
but
with
thee
there
is
mercy
and
plenteous
redemption
.

It

It

more
to

than
to
repair
what
was

And
the
earthly

never

can
easily
restore

former

what

The
humours
and
food
do
change
the
habit
of
the
body
,
and
state
of
the
mind
apparently
;
And
hence
arise
the
affections
,
and
stings
of
conscience
:
And
,
by
the
by
,
what
Melancholy
can
do
,
and
how
it
may
be
cured
.
THere
is
no
mortal
Man
that
is
not
led
by
his
passions
,
and
perturbations
,
but
one
is
more
driven
by
them
than
another
,
and
is
more
easily
forced
by
the
motions
of
his
mind
.
Intemperance
is
the
fountain
of
all
the
passions
,
which
is
a
departing
from
the
mind
,
and
from
right
reason
.
So
that
the
desires
of
the
mind
cannot
be
ruled
or
kept
in
order
.
And
though
objects
,
and
many
outward
causes
,
stir
up
many
troublesome
motions
in
man
,
yet
the
principall
cause
,
and
original
is
from
the
heart
,
and
from
the
humours
and
spirits
,
which
if
they
be
moderate
,
and
not
infected
with
some
strange
quality
,
the
mind
is
not
so
hot
,
He
hath
no
mind
that
hath
no

Souldiers
neither
Faith
nor
truth
regard
:
By
which
variety
of
wits
,
manners
and
affections
,
it
seems
to
me
that
the
passions
and
propensions
of
every
mans
mind
,
are
to
be
referred
to
many
causes
.
For
though
the
objects
,
and
the
heart
it self
,
and
the
parts
ordain'd
for
nutriment
,
and
to
ingender
spirits
,
are
the
organs
,
and
receptacles
of
the
affections
,
yet
the
humours
within
the
body
,
The
evil
spirits
also
mingle
themselves
with
ill
humours
,
and
especially
with
black
choler
,
If
the
melancholique
veins
or
emrods
run
in
those
that
are
mad
,
they
are
thereby
cured
,
nature
deriving
the
ill
humours
from
the
principal
part
to
the
parts
more
ignoble
.
Again
,
A
fault
by
hiding
will
the
stronger
grow
.
But
if
adversities
and
misfortunes
have
brought
on
this
mischief
,
you
must
oppose
against
it
an
undaunted
courage
of
your
mind
,
and
support
your self
with
Gods
Word
,
and
with
confidence
in
him
,
and
so
with
the
lesse
labour
you
shall
overthrow
those
terrible
phantasms
and
representations
that
assault
you
.
Kings
c.
19.
So
Helias
in
his
afflictions
desired
to
die
.
So
David
so
often
assaulted
by
his
enemies
began
to
distrust
.
So
Job
even
in
despair
chose
rather
to
die
,
A
good
speech
is
a
Physitian
for
a
sick
mind
:
To
which
may
be
added
that
of
Pliny
,
Rost
and

are
taken
out
of
the

CHAP.

Herbs
are
subject
to
change
,
and
will
lose
their
forces
and
form
,
MAny
Physitians
complain
,
that
the
descriptions
of
Plants
are
false
,
and
their
vertues
are
uneffectual
;
and
that
there
were
many
Plants
obvious
and
common
in
former
times
,
that
if
we
compare
them
with
these
of
our
times
,
ours
will
answer
to
them
neither
in
name
nor
descriptions
;
and
therefore
they
say
they
are
other
plants
,
though
we
call
them
still
by
the
same
names
.
So
our
Hyssop
,
Beans
,
Cinquefoil
,
Valerian
,
Tyf
,
wheat
,
Provender
,
Rie
,
Amelcorn
,
they
think
not
to
be
the
same
,
because
they
do
not
exactly
agree
with
the
descriptions
of
the
Antients
.
For
as
I
would
defend
no
mens
errours
that
are
deceived
in
the
choice
and
knowledge
of
Plants
:
so
I
think
that
some
men
do
not
sufficiently
measure
all
things
by
the
squre
of
reason
.
For
though
in
so
great
a
change
and
variety
of
herbs
all
of
them
cannot
be
ranged
into
a
certain
Classis
,
nor
can
we
give
them
a
fit
name
that
may
answer
the
description
of
the
Antients
;
yet
we
must
not
think
that
they
are
other
plants
than
what
were
described
by
the
Antients
,
or
of
other
operations
than
such
as
they
set
down
.
For
Nature
it self
gave
a
cause
for
this
Variety
,
if
there
be
any
▪
which
daily
changeth
the
form
,
Some
I
have
seen
their
seeds
to
sowe
prepare
With
Nitre
and
oyl
lees
,
And
though
the
Industry
of
the
Gardner
cease
,
and
the
art
how
to
sowe
them
,
the
herbs
themselves
do
naturally
change
their
fashion
,
if
you
consider
their
colours
,
form
,
stature
,
forces
.
And
that
is
partly
done
by
the
secret
force
of
the
Stars
,
partly
by
length
of
time
,
that
such
things
as
appeared
as
though
they
would
last
alwayes
,
Natures
curiosity
would
not
have
the
fashion
of
herbs
truly
known
that
might
passe
currant
to
posterity
,
but
would
have
a
continual
search
to
be
made
for
them
,
that
we
see
are
changed
or
renewed
daily
.
So
Nature
sharpens
man's
Industry
,
and
shakes
off
drowsinesse
.
For
the
first
cause
and
spring
of
Husbandry
Would
not
that
this
Art
without
Industry
Should
ere
be
learnt
,
To
this
we
may
adde
the
state
of
the
climate
,
and
nature
of
the
Ayr
,
With
Damask
Prunes
their
Cups
are
compass'd
round
,
And
such
as
in
Armenia
are
found
.
And
Apples
which
in
rude
Persia
grow
,
Full
of
their
imbred
poyson
,
but
we
know
That
now
they
yield
a
wholesome
nourishment
:
And
all
their
venome
is
consum'd
and
spent
,
And
of
their
Countrey
they
the
name
retain
Peaches
,
that
on
small
Trees
do
grow
amain
.
For
this
kind
of
Apple
unlesse
it
be
exposed
to
the
Sun
beams
,
over
against
the
South
,
and
is
of
a
cold
and
moyst
juice
,
and
therefore
corrupts
quickly
,
and
offends
the
stomach
,
Many
of
these
if
you
transplant
them
into
another
Countrey
they
will
decay
,
faint
,
or
dye
,
or
grow
very
hardly
,
and
can
scarse
hold
their
Names
and
Vertues
.
Wherefore
he
that
will
plant
any
thing
,
let
him
observe
Virgil's
Rule
,
For
nature
is
never
negligent
or
idle
,
but
doth
attempt
many
and
great
things
,
and
it
doth
form
and
beautify
not
onely
the
superficies
of
the
earth
,
but
all
the
secret
and
hidden
parts
of
it
.
Hence
it
is
that
the
Jasper
,
Gallia
,
Belgica
,
where
the
Eburones
,
Menapii
,
and
Sicambri
lived
,
there
are
stone-cole
dug
forth
,
The
venome
,
and
offensive
humour
boyleth
forth
.
Some
ascribe
this
generative
force
of
the
Earth
to
the
Stars
(
which
doubtlesse
do
effectually
operate
upon
inferiour
bodies
)
because
we
see
many
things
decay
,
I
see
the
best
plants
will
degenerate
,
If
not
transplanted
,
On
the
contrary
if
you
dresse
wild
Plants
,
they
will
grow
like
those
of
the
Gardens
,
and
lay
aside
their
wild
natures
,
as
Virgill
also
observed
.
All
Plants
by
Nature
,
rise
up
strong
and
fair
,
Though
barren
from
the
ground
,
Wherefore
Nature
brings
forth
continually
new
plants
,
unheard
of
before
,
That
comes
to
passe
partly
by
the
influence
of
the
Stars
,
and
partly
by
the
nature
of
the
ground
,
and
the
ambient
Ayre
.
For
since
the
earth
is
of
divers
qualities
,
it
happens
by
reason
of
the
Ayre
,
and
the
nutriment
of
the
earth
that
plants
are
changed
,
and
receive
other
qualities
.
So
Hasel-Nut-Trees
,
Cherry
Trees
,
Wild-Cherry
Trees
,
if
they
grow
near
banks
,
that
stinking
Waters
run
by
,
or
Salt
waters
wet
,
their
fruit
will
tast
salt
.
So
men
as
their
food
is
,
and
the
Ayre
they
live
in
,
obtain
another
temperament
of
their
body
,
other
manners
and
qualities
.
So
Danes
by
long
constance
and
comerce
,
change
into
Spaniards
;
Germans
,
into
French-Men
,
or
Italians
;
so
you
shall
see
a
pleasant
and
delightsome
,
tree
set
on
salt
ground
,
to
degenerate
by
reason
of
the
nutriment
it
sucks
in
.
For
Salt
and
bitter
ground
is
ill
for
Trees
.
If
you
add
to
this
that
there
is
a
fatall
change
,
and
vicissitude
of
things
;
you
shall
find
that
plants
though
you
do
manure
them
,
will
grow
old
and
feeble
,
Pamphilus
Galen
spake
of
,
who
never
so
much
as
dreamt
of
such
Plants
as
he
undertook
to
write
of
,
and
to
describe
their
vertues
.
Which
kind
of
men
,
Heraclides
Terentinus
likened
to
Criers
,
jear
upon
Phormio
.
but
none
that
ever
doted
more
than
Phormio
.
And
he
said
true
.
For
what
could
be
done
more
vainly
and
idly
,
than
that
a
foolish
Greek
who
never
knew
what
wars
meant
,
nor
ever
bore
any
publick
office
,
should
prescribe
military
precepts
to
Hannibal
,
who
had
strove
so
many
years
with
the
Romans
that
Conquerd
all
nations
?
Who
will
not
reckon
these
men
amongst
those
,
who
boast
that
they
know
the
vertues
of
Comfrey
,
Licoris
,
Hore-hound
,
savoury
,
Pennyroyal
,
and
that
onely
from
books
,
and
yet
cannot
tell
if
the
plant
be
brought
to
them
,
what
that
is
that
hath
such
vertues
,
they
so
much
speak
of
?
For
since
we
cure
diseases
by
medicaments
and
effectual
herbs
,
who
is
so
mad
to
endure
a
Physitian
that
is
ignorant
of
these
things
?
Who
will
not
condemn
such
a
Mans
ignorance
and
neglect
,
that
is
so
dangerous
for
the
Patient
?
For
in
my
Judgment
,
no
man
is
a
perfect
Artist
that
wants
this
knowledg
.
For
as
in
the
Marriner's
Art
,
Than
for
to
know
the
force
and
use
of
Plants
.
And
the
best
recreation
they
could
use
.
Indeed
the
fame
and
Names
of
the
greatest
kings
had
been
lost
,
and
forgot
,
and
no
memorial
of
them
had
remaind
,
unlesse
some
herbs
growing
up
new
every
year
,
that
bear
their
names
,
should
rub
up
their
memorial
,
and
keep
them
from
being
forgotten
.
A
Lover
of
Physick
must
go
in
the
same
way
,
and
not
onely
try
the
dubious
forms
of
Plants
,
but
examine
the
forces
of
them
also
,
and
use
them
to
drive
out
diseases
,
and
preserve
the
health
of
mankind
.
Hippocrates
and
Galen
the
best
Physitians
did
so
with
great
diligence
,
who
by
experience
in
Physick
came
to
knowledg
,
and
have
laid
down
certain
rules
approved
from
reason
and
experience
,
and
set
an
exact
method
to
practise
by
.
For
these
things
being
amplified
with
large
descriptions
,
and
solid
traditions
,
will
make
men
Artists
,
I
say
the
same
of
the
wits
of
our
men
:
for
our
Mother
Nature
hath
denyed
them
nothing
,
nor
did
she
give
all
things
to
Men
of
former
Ages
,
but
she
gave
a
portion
to
posterity
,
and
would
not
leave
them
barren
.
Wherefore
we
in
our
dayes
want
not
wit
,
if
we
have
but
a
desire
ready
to
learn
Arts
,
and
take
as
much
pains
as
they
did
formerly
.
Use
can
do
all
things
.
You
shall
see
some
at
first
very
industrious
to
learn
;
but
so
soon
as
they
grow
famous
amongst
the
people
,
they
grow
idle
,
and
do
their
businesse
carelesly
being
hard
,
refractory
,
intractable
,
inhumane
,
and
not
so
diligent
as
they
were
;
and
from
an
empty
conceit
of
their
own
worth
,
they
despise
others
,
and
will
endure
no
man
to
advise
with
them
.
Some
of
these
presently
begin
to
practise
Physick
,
wanting
those
helps
a
Physitian
ought
to
have
,
and
which
they
should
have
learned
before
,
and
not
begin
now
to
learn
;
so
that
they
are
called
Doctors
before
they
deserve
it
.
For
then
they
begin
to
study
Physick
when
they
are
called
to
give
Physick
to
their
Patients
.
Salust
,
It
is
last
in
time
to
wage
war
,
but
first
in
use
;
so
is
it
in
curing
diseases
,
we
must
know
how
to
cure
them
before
they
come
.
I
did
not
think
.
and
so
determine
of
the
event
both
wayes
;
and
he
must
not
say
afterwards
,
I
did
not
think
:
Sometimes
a
Physitian
in
a
doubtful
disease
that
soon
hastneth
to
the
state
,
as
a
Fencer
on
the
Stage
,
takes
advice
as
the
present
occasion
will
suffer
him
.
Which
I
remember
I
formerly
did
sometime
.
For
when
I
considered
the
disease
and
the
symptoms
of
it
,
and
was
well
informed
by
the
series
of
words
,
and
by
the
order
of
the
Medicaments
,
yet
the
matter
as
I
said
before
,
being
changed
,
I
was
forced
to
alter
the
whole
scene
.
So
Terence
speaks
learnedly
and
wisely
;
No
man
ever
knew
so
well
,
The
Comedian
could
never
speak
truer
for
the
whole
course
of
a
man's
life
,
and
chiefly
in
curing
diseases
.
to
try
the
Porters
Art
,
by
breaking
of
Pots
,
as
Pliny
saith
,
to
learn
by
others
dangers
,
and
by
false
experiments
and
conjectures
,
to
kill
their
Patients
.
By
whose
rashnesse
and
errour
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
the
Art
of
healing
,
Nature
and
Lawes
of
Men
forbid
us
then
To
practice
,
To
which
agrees
that
of
Horace
,
The
Proverb
speaks
this
in
brief
,
Let
every
man
practise
what
he
knowes
.
Wherefore
Pliny
saith
,
Arts
would
be
happy
,
if
onely
Artists
might
judge
of
them
,
and
practise
them
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
How
manifold
difference
and
variety
there
is
in
the
nature
of
grounds
.
TO
adde
something
that
is
next
to
the
former
Argument
,
I
think
Physitians
ought
to
consider
the
nature
and
qualities
of
all
grounds
.
For
from
hence
arise
divers
kinds
of
Plants
,
and
of
divers
faculties
and
vertues
.
prescribes
to
Cratera
,
to
gather
herbs
that
grow
on
hills
and
high
Mountains
.
For
they
are
stronger
and
firmer
,
and
more
effectual
than
those
that
grow
near
waters
,
by
reason
of
the
density
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
thinnesse
of
the
Ayr
:
but
to
gather
the
flowers
of
them
that
grow
near
Rivers
and
watry
places
,
which
are
weaker
,
and
not
very
forcible
,
and
of
a
sweeter
juice
.
Since
therefore
we
know
the
force
and
temperament
of
Plants
,
by
duly
considering
the
nature
of
the
ground
,
and
some
plants
delight
in
one
ground
,
some
in
another
,
and
all
require
such
Land
as
is
proper
to
their
natures
,
I
will
set
down
the
differences
of
them
by
the
way
,
as
in
a
Table
which
Virgil
exactly
describes
,
that
so
all
plants
may
be
fitted
to
their
own
soyl
,
and
not
fail
in
their
forces
by
reason
of
the
malignity
of
nutriment
.
For
hence
it
is
,
that
they
do
not
answer
our
expectation
,
but
deceive
us
with
vain
hopes
.

How
Weezels
and
other
Creatures
that
hurt
Corn
may
be
driven
away
or
kill'd
.
He
that
hides
his
Corn
shall
have
the
peoples
curse
;
buc
he
that
brings
it
forth
,
shall
be
blessed
by
them
.
But
God
oft-times
suffers
us
to
be
thus
afflicted
,
when
we
are
ingratefull
to
him
for
the
great
abundance
we
have
received
.
For
by
Ezekiel
he
threateneth
to
send
four
Calamities
to
those
that
forsake
him
,
Also
Sagapenum
,
Oyl
lees
,
Castorium
,
Savin
,
Brimstone
,
Harts-horn
,
Ivy
,
Galbanum
,
and
all
things
that
smell
strong
;
for
neither
will
Serpents
,
Snakes
,
nor
Bats
endure
the
smell
of
them
.
Which
Virgil
the
Father
of
all
Learning
affirms
,
Burn
in
your
Stalls
the
smelling
Cedar
,
So
they
flee
from
the
strong
smelling
flowers
of
Hops
,
which
also
are
offensive
to
mens
brains
,
and
cause
heavinesse
and
drunkennesse
in
the
head
.
Also
the
flowers
of
Elders
,
the
smell
where
of
drives
away
Caterpillars
,
and
it
kills
Moths
and
cloathflies
,
as

,
the

of

,
that

hath
a
wonderful
force
in
killing
Weezels
,
not
by
any
venomous
quality
,
but
by
the
sweetnesse
of
it

For
it
is

leave

The
cunningnesse
of
Worms
in
Mans
body
,
and
what
it
portends
,
when
they
come
forth
by
the
Mouth
and
Nostrils
.
IT
hath
been
seen
sometimes
miraculously
,
that
long
and
round
Worms
especially
,
have
crambled
upwards
,
and
crept
forth
at
the
mouth
and
the
nostrils
:
and
they
do
this
by
an
imbred
natural
motion
,
if
a
man
be
long
fasting
.
For
then
they
bite
the
stomach
,
I
have
seen
this
also
happen
in
sick
people
,
but
not
without
some
imminent
danger
foreshew'd
by
it
:
For
so
great
is
the
putrefaction
and
inflammation
of
humours
in
such
bodies
,
that
the
Worms
cannot
endure
the
deadly
force
of
the
disease
:
wherefore
they
break
forth
of
themselves
,
not
urged
by
any
Crisis
,
or
naturally
,
but
from
the
malignity
of
the
disease
.
But
when
the
violence
of
the
disease
abates
,
and
they
are
carried
downwards
with
other
excrements
,
Hippocrates
holds
that
to
be
healthfull
;
but
to
come
forth
of
their
own
accord
,
That
it
was
a
certain
sign
of
death
,
and
that
the
Soul
was
ready
to
breathe
forth
.
But
since
we
formerly
made
mention
of
Worms
,
I
thought
fit
to
add
this
,
That
many
things
will
kill
all
worms
and
drive
them
forth
.
But
nothing
is
better
than
Worms
dryed
upon
a
tile
at
the
fire
,
and
the
powder
given
to
those
that
are
full
of
worms
,
will
presently
drive
forth
all
within
the
body
:
As
Pliny
and
other
searchers
of
Natural
things
assert
,
that
a
man
being
stung
by
a
Scorpion
,
So
our
Countrey-men
say
,
that
the
biting
of
a
mad-dog
is
cured
by
the
burnt
hairs
of
the
same
creature
,
drank
in
wine
.
For
it
drives
forth
the
venome
,
and
keeps
off
all
the
danger
of
it
,
and
makes
the
body
that
is
bit
,
that
it
is
of
force
to
attract
,
and
overcome
the
venome
.
So
sometimes
two
contrary
poysons
mingled
,
do
cure
and
not
kill
:
As
Ausonius
wittily
sets
down
in
an
Epigram
,
concerning
a
woman
that
would
have
poysoned
her
husband
with
Wolfs-bane
:
A
whorish
Wife
her
jealous
Husband
to
Gave
poyson
,
yet
she
fear'd
it
would
not
do
;
Wherefore
Quicksilver
intermingled
shee
,
Thought
for
to
hasten
death
,
which
set
him
free
.
For
if
apart
these
poysons
you
shall
give
,
They
kill
;
but
joyn'd
together
,
make
him
live
.

That
humours
and
not
bad
Angels
cause
diseases
,
yet
the
aereal
spirits
do
mix
themselves
therewith
,
and
increase
the
diseases
,
by
adding
fire
unto
them
.
THere
are
some
amongst
us
that
are
but
moderately
versed
in
the
Works
of
Nature
,
and
know
not
the
causes
of
diseases
,
their
original
,
progresse
,
and
symptoms
that
follow
,
or
accidents
,
and
because
they
cannot
attain
to
the
reason
of
them
,
they
refer
all
to
evil
Angels
,
and
say
they
are
bewitcht
,
since
the
Devils
do
constantly
employ
themselves
to
hurt
us
.
Soranus
Ephesius
testifies
,
When
East
and
West
,
So
a
disease
is
more
violent
by
concours
of
humours
,
and
diseases
joyned
to
,
cruelly
torture
mans
body
.
For
in
one
body
,
It
is
frivolous
to
refer
the
causes
of
these
things
to
ill
spirits
.
For
all
these
things
consist
in
the
corruption
or
inflammation
,
quality
or
quantity
of
the
humours
.
For
it
is
these
things
that
make
the
fits
shorter
or
longer
.
Get
thee
behind
me
Sathan
.
For
Christ
cal'd
him
so
because
he
was
against
him
,
and
strove
to
divert
him
from
our
redemption
that
he
was
about
.
And
unlesse
the
great
good
God
by
his
singular
favour
should
bridle
the
fury
of
the
adversary
against
us
,
Who
naught
but
a
fair
countenance
reveal
,
Melancholy
juice
makes
men
stable
and
constant
,
and
that
will
not
easily
depart
from
what
they
once
undertake
,
or
forsake
their
opinion
,
that
if
they
happen
to
addict
themselves
to
any
sect
,
they
will
hold
it
tooth
and
nail
,
and
not
be
easily
drawn
off
.
This
affect
is
milder
in
cholerick
people
,
for
they
by
reason
of
their
unstable
floting
humours
,
and
thin
spirits
are
quickly
transported
,
and
though
they
be
very
hot
and
clamorous
,
yet
they
are
soon
pleased
,
and
not
so
obstinate
.
Flegme
is
unprofitable
to
form
mens
manners
,
and
therefore
flegmatique
people
are
dull
and
unfit
for
any
great
matters

Of

which
disease
the

both

,
how
it
may
be

by

WE
have
shewed
elsewhere
what
effects
the
humours
work
in
the
bodies
of
men
;
but
since
they
do
diversly
affect
us
according
to
the
diversity
of
places
,
I
thought
good
to
speak
of
those
also
that
are
inherent
in
the
brain
.
For
those
diseases
that
are
in
the
highest
part
of
the
body
,
do
not
onely
afflict
us
with
pain
,
but
also
take
away
sense
and
motion
,
and
hurt
the
mind
;
as
we
may
see
in
the
Apoplex
,
Lethargy
,
and
the
Epilepsie
that
is
weaker
in
children
and
women
.
Galen
eryes
up
Pionie
as
much
as
Cato
did
Coleworts
,
which
not
onely
by
an
Elementary
quality
but
from
the
whole
substance
of
it
and
secret
property
resists
this
disease
.
And
it
will
raise
children
that
fall
,
because
it
is
not
so
strong
in
them
,
if
it
be
but
banged
about
their
necks
.
For
it
discusseth
and
consumes
the
flegmatique
humour
that
is
the
seminary
of
this
disease
.
Also
the
seeds
of
this
given
inwardly
will
do
it
more
effectually
in
such
as
are
of
years
.
For
it
drinks
up
the
windy
venemous
miosture
,
and
brings
the
body
to
a
hotter
and
dryer
temper
.
Some
say
,
this
seed
is
the
best
,
that
comes
from
the
first
increase
of
the
male
Pionie
.
For
a
long
time
it
brings
forth
unprofitable
shoots
without
seed
.
But
when
it
is
of
perfect
growth
,
the
husks
cleave
,
and
in
one
part
you
shall
see
berries
very
smooth
and
black
;
in
another
,
kernels
of
a
shining
scarlet
red
colour
.
The
black
seed
must
be
kept
for
use
.
Yet
not
so
superstitiously
,
as
to
hold
,
that
the
seed
of
the
next
year
is
uneffectual
;
for
that
seed
that
comes
after
ten
years
,
is
a
present
remedy
if
it
be
not
rotten
and
decay'd
.
French
Lavender
,
and
I
put
in

little
Nutmeg
to

;
also
I
command
them
to
wash
their
mouthes
with
vinegar
of
Squills
,
so
as
to
swallow
it
down
by
degrees
.
Also
I
find
,
that
the
shavings
of
mans
skull
are
a
present
remedy
to
dry
up
those
humours
that
cause
those
diseases
,
if
some
part
of
a
mans
skull
scraped
off
be
given
to
a
man
,
or
of
a
womans
skull
to
a
woman
,
and
that
in
wine
,
or
Oxymel
of
Squills
,
not
by
any
hidden
quality
,
but
because
it
dryes
exceedingly
:

which
cause
the
runner
and
blood
of
a
Hare
stayes
the
bloody
flux
,
and
other
fluxes
of

belly
;
so
I
find
by
experience
,
that
mans
bones
grated
given
for
the
dysentery
in
red
wine
,
will
stop
it
,
by
a
binding
quality
,
and
drying
force
,

also

Whence
comes
it
that

are

will
not

Whence
come
Feavers
to
revive
again
,
and
to
be

intermission
and
truce
for

time
;
which
all
men
ought
to
know
,
that
they
may
not
easily

being

may

there
riseth

cool

cause
a
continuance
,
that
diseases
are
longer
,
for
the
diseases
cannot
be
discussed
because
the
humours
are
thick
and
fast
together
,
and
the
skin
is
not
so

Diadumenus
,
whose
head
was
crown'd
with
a
Diadem
and
a
Garland
,
that
children
were
wont
when
they
were
born
,
as
a
sign
of
good
fortune
to
have
a
cap
on
their
heads
by
nature
,
which
the
midwives
catch
away
and
sell
to
their
credulous
Advocates
;
For
Lawyers
think
they
shall
find
great
help
from
them
.
When
therefore
the
Womb
is
wet
with
a
fowl
and
vitious
moisture
,
which
grows
together
with
the
seed
of
both
Parents
,
the
membrane
is
of
a
dark
brown
colour
,
and
the
childs
skin
of
a
smoky
dark
colour
also
.
But
if
the
seed
and
bloud
be
pure
,
clean
,
and
subject
to
no
fault
;
the
cover
is
red
,
and
the
child
is
of
a
pleasant
and
lively
colour
.
And
these
membranes
are
not
onely
different
in
colour
,
but
in
shape
also
,
either
by
reason
of
some
internal
or
external
effect
,
or
from
some
object
of
the
eyes
or
mind
.
For
when
some
men
are
so
lascivious
and
given
to
pleasure
,
that
without
choice
,
taking
no
heed
of
the
flowing
of
the
terms
,
they
will
use
copulation
with
women
;
it
falls
out
sometimes
that
when
the
terms
have
run
three
dayes
or
thereabout
,
and
there
is
not
much
behind
,
onely
a
day
or
two
that
they
have
to
run
more
,
the
natural
time
is
hindred
,
and
some
part
of
the
excremental
flux
is
kept
back
by
unseasonable
copulation
but
yet
sometimes
this
perfects
the
conception
.
When
therefore
a
woman
is
in
the
act
of
generation
,
and
knows
that
her
terms
are
not
yet
quite
staid
,
and
that
she
should
not
yet
copulate
,
the
parts
being
still
wet
,
she
secretly
blusheth
at
it
,
and
her
eyes
are
covered
with
blood
:
which
affect
when
it
passeth
to
the
child
that
membrane
becomes
of
divers
colours
and
fashions
.

IF
at

the

Their

Some
things
will
not
burn
,
but
are
invincible
in
the
midst
of
flames
;
and
how
that
comes
to
passe
.
I
Have
seen
napkins
made
and
woven
of
a
certain
kind
of
flax
that
will
not
burn
,
nor
ever
be
consumed
by
fire
:
when
therefore
they
are
foul
and
should
be
made
clean
,
men
use
no
Soap
or
Lye
,
or
Wash-balls
to
take
out
the
spots
,
but
they
cast
them
into
the
fire
,
and
they
will
flame
,
as
earthen
pots
that
are
very
greasie
,
and
become
very
clean
and
extream
white
.
This
kind
growes
in
the
desarts
of
India
,
and
dry
grounds
burnt
with
the
Sun
:
from
whence
some
plants
by
reason
of
the
nature
of
the
ground
,
and
the
qualities
of
the
outward
ayr
,
become
to
be
of
that
temper
,
that
they
may
be
wrought
and
woven
into
shee●s

For
if
in

Crabs
can
grow
up
with
hard
shells
,

Crafish

The
death
of
man
and
destruction
of
things
that
are
,
is
against
Nature
,
and
is
very
improperly
,
called
natural
.
Yet
the
mind
must
be
resolved
not
to
fear
death
;
though
,
not
without
cause
,
all
men
are
afraid
of
it
.
THough
it
be
so
ordained

that
mans

hath
drawn
this
upon
him
deservedly

we
must
all
tend

destruction
,

dye

I

by
reason
this

proved

that
death
is
not
natural

contrary

nature

Men
that
are
tall
and
grosse
bodied
,
are
sometimes
not
so
long-lived
as
those
that
are
slender
,
and
cannot
so
stoutly
struggle
with
diseases
.
But
commonly
little
men
will
drink
more
wine
,
than
grosse
men
,
and
will
be
longer
before
they
be
drunk
.
DAily
examples
shew
,
that
men
with
grosse
fat-bodies
are
spungy
,
I
have
seen
sometimes
dwarfs
almost
,
and
very
little
men
(
but
their
beard
was
long
,
and
their
whole
body
hairy
,
which
is
an
argument
of
exceeding
heat
)
enter
the
lists
of
drinking
with
very
strong
men
,
who
were
not
for
all
this
the
least
moved
by
the
force
of
the
wine
,
(
though
no
man
in
these
conflicts
deserves
to
be
commended
,
and
the
victory
is
not
praise-worthy
:
)
whereas
the
others
were
so
drunk
,
that
they
were
grown
stupid
,
and
neither
their
foot
,
hand
or
tongue
could
do
their
office
.
The
cause
of
these
things
consists
not
onely
in
the
capaciousnesse
of
the
veins
and
receptacles
,
but
in
the
native
heat
that
is
very
large
,
that
quickly
conquers
and
consumes
all
,
and
in
a
strong
brain
that
will
not
easily
admit
the
vapours

They
that
eat
a
moderate
breakfast
in
the
morning
,
will
eat
more
freely
at

and
if
they
drink
much
wine
it
will
offend
them
lesse
.
By
the
way
,
whether
it
be
wholesome
to
eat
much
bread
.
SOme
there
are
that
use
to
fast
till
noon
;
which
as
I
mislike
not
,
so
I
think
it
not
alwayes
expedient
,
that
any
man
should
eat
nothing
till
dinner
,
especially
one
that
hath
a
hot
stomach
:
as
every
cholerick
person
,
or
one
that
is
forced
to
labour
hath
,
and
Students
that
study
much
.
the
Mandible
is
the
old
man's
staffe
.
For
what
old
age
impaires
,
and
what
fails
of
the
natural
moysture
of
the
body
,
meat
and
drink
make
up
again
.
Wherefore
they
and
all
sedentary
people
and
Students
and
Magistrates
that
serve
for
the
publick
good
,
may
in
the
morning
eat
Raisins
,
Dates
,
Figs
,
Currans
,
Pine
kernels
,
Fistick
nuts
,
Orange
and
Citron
pills
candied
with
Sugar
,
Myrobalans
conserved
with
honey
when
they
are
green
,
or
some
other
liquid
corroboratives
that
lesse
weary
the
stomach
,
and
trouble
it
not
to
digest
them
.
In
the
mean
time
every
one
must
measure
his
own
strength
,
and
consider
his
condition
,
and
nature
,
and
see
what
it
will
bear
,
and
what
it
refuseth
and
cannot
away
with
.
Moreover
,
by
reason
of
long
hunger
,
the
stomach
is
filled
with
ill
humours
that
it
sucks
from
the
parts
that
are
near
,
and
so
refuseth
meat
,
We
see
that
all
meats
will
suddenly
corrupt
and
stink
,
in
three
days
or
a
little
more
unlesse
you
salt
them
.
And
Egs
,
Fish
,
Flesh
,
and
all
such
meats
will
be
unsavoury
.
But
bread
never
corrupts
,
or
smells
amisse
.
Being
over
long
kept
it
will
grow
mouldy
,
but
it
putrifies
not
.
Wherefore
such
as
cram
themselves
with
meats
.
and
eat
little
or
no
bread
,
send
a
stinking
smell
from
their
very
entralls
,
and
offend
all
that
are
near
them
.
Wherefore
those
that
desire
to
be
of
strong
and
firm
constitution
of
body
,
let
them
eat
bread
with
moderation
at
least
,
chiefly
when
they
must
exercise
and
labour
hard
.
For
unlesse
Ditchers
,
Porters
,
Marriners
,
Charriers
,
Fencers
,
Wrestlers
,
should
eat
bread
in
abundance
,
they
could
not
subsist
,
and
endure
such
labours
.
But
I
prescribe
the
use
of
bread
more
sparingly
to
tender
weak
sickly
constitutions
,
and
to
such
whose
stomachs
are
faint
,
and
the
passages
narrow
;
It
is
best
to
refresh
them
with
liquid
meats
,
and
to
restore
their
strength
,
for
these
will
soon
enter
the
veins
.
For
such
bodies
are
too
tender
and
delicate
for
to
receive
hard
meats
.
And
the
kingly
Prophet
David
seems
to
me
to
have
observed
and
considered
all
these
things
very
exactly

that
the

is
altogether
excremental

is

,
and
come
from

as

as

When
men
are
sick
they
grow
tall
though
they
ea●
lesse
,
but
they
lose
in
breadth
.
So
we
see
that
young
people
and
children
in
long
and
chronical
diseases
,
do
grow
more
slender
and
lean
,
Wherefore
nature
in
producing
of
bones
,
whence
length
comes
useth
the
force
of
heat
,
whereby
she
dries
the
humours
a
little
,
and
fits
the
aliments
to
feed
the
bones
.
For
augmentation
cannot
be
made
without
plenty
of
nutriment
.
For
when
a
Creature
is
generated
it
requires
to
be
augmented
till
it
comes
to
its
full
growth
,
and
to
spread
in
length
and
breadth
.
Then
,
to
make
it
continue
and
last
the
rest
of
its
life
to
come
,
nutrition
doth
its
office
,
that
what
decayes
may
be
restored
,
and
what
the
qualities
of
the
ambient
Ayre
consume
may
be
repaired
,
yet
the
body
growing
nothing
bigger
thereby
,
or
longer
.
Wherefore
the
augmenting
faculty
is
that
that
draws
forth
the
bones
of
men
in
Feavers
like
Wax
,
by
the
heat
and
vertue
of
the
seminal
excrement
,
which
in
the
vigour
of
years
is
very
forcible
and
effectuall
to
do
this
.
But
if
children
and
young
men
use
to
eat
milk
from
their
Cradles
,
and
to
use
exercise
,
they
grow
longer
,
And

Whether
it
is
best
to
open
a
Vein
when
one
is
fasting
,
or
after
meat
;
and
whether
it
be
lawfull
to
sleep
presently
after
blood-letting
.
IT
is
needlesse
to
relate
here
what
profit
it
is
to
man
to
have
a
vein
opened
,
and
what
good
,
men
find
by
it
in
health
or
sicknesse
,
and
who
must
be
let
bloud
,
and
when
.
For
every
one
may
learn
this
from
a
faithful
and
honest
Physitian
;
not
from
that
common
and
triviall
custome
that
some
trifling
fellows
have
invented
,
who
too
rigidly
observe
the
Stars
more
than
the
humours
.
But
since
there
use
to
be
infinite
questions
moved
concerning
this
matter
,
I
shall
determine
all
in
a
few
words
;
whether
it
is
expedient
to
open
a
vein
,
When
men
are
fasting
or
full
.
For
since
I
see
many
tremble
and
fear
when
a
vein
must
be
opened
,
lest
they
should
swound
or
faint
,
I
think
it
fit
to
give
them
some
meat
,
and
a
little
strong
wine
.
For
I
have
often
observed
some
frequently
to
fall
down
in
a
swound
,
and
not
to
move
,
and
could
hardly
with
smels
and
pulling
them
be
recovered
.

Physiognomy
,
that
is
,
the
reason
how
to
look
into
the
Nature
and
manners
of
men
,
and
with
which
by
the
marks
and
signs
of
the
body
we
may
judge
of
the
motion
and
propension
of
the
mind
,
is
not
to
be
disliked
.
Moreover
I
shall
prove
by
Testimony
of
Scripture
what
is
most
convenient
to
be
observed
hereby
.
The
shew
of
their
Countenance
doth
witnesse
against
them
.
Whereby
he
shews
,
●●at
wicked
men
may
be
caught
by
their
looks
.
For
their
countenance
shews
what
malice
they
are
fill'd
with
,
what
they
meditate
,
what
they
desire
to
undertake
,
and
whither
their
wicked
intentions
are
bent
.
There
are
many
things
to
prove
this
,
that
we
may
read
in
David
and
Solomon's
lives
,
A
wicked
and
ungodly
man
goeth
with
a
proud
lock
,
he
winketh
with
his
eyes
,
speaketh
with
his
feet
,
teacheth
with
his
fingers
,
frowardnesse
is
in
his
heart
,
he
deviseth
mischief
,
and
continually
soweth
discord
.
But
in
those
that
are
of
a
pleasing
and
mild
spirit
,
all
things
appear
well
in
their
countenances
.
Their
standing
,
going
,
lying
down
,
their
countenance
,
eyes
,
hands
,
motion
,
serve
all
to
expresse
an
honest
and
comely
mind
;
as
also
in
the
face
,
wisdome
,
honour
,
honesty
and
other
vertues
appear
.
But
though
all
things
do
not
exactly
answer
the
praedictions
of
this
art
,
and
many
things
fall
out
contrary
to
the
marks
that
are
outwardly
on
the
body
,
and
that
either
by
reason
of
education
,
or
the
Industry
of
Parents
,
or
else
by
the
grace
of
God
:
yet
for
the
most
part
they
are
true
,
and
the
event
is
certain
.
For
in
such
as
are
marked
with
some
visible
note
,
Art
finds
out
the
truth
.
From
these
therefore
that
are
marked
with
any
outward
mark
,
came
the
Proverb
,
Take
heed
of
those
that
Nature
hath
marked
.
Whereby
such
as
are
skilful
in
humane
affairs
,
do
note
unto
us
,
that
we
must
avoid
the
company
and
society
of
wicked
people
;
because
they
find
by
daily
experience
and
practise
,
that
such
people
are
deceitfull
,
and
full
of
crafty
and
cunning
practises
.
But
that
Iame
people
are
extream
letcherous
,
and
have
their
secrets
exceeding
great
,
the
Proverb
from
thence
declares
.
A
lame
man
is
the
most
letcherous

Whether
it
be
more
wholesome
to
sleep
with
open
mouth
,
or
with
the
mouth
and
lips
shut
close
.
MAny
think
it
is
best
to
sleep
with
their
mouths
wide
open
;
For
so
the
fumes
and
fuliginous
vapours
can
breathe
forth
the
better
,
and
that
the
breath
can
more
freely
passe
out
and
in
,
and
will
not
smell
so
strong
;
for
they
that
sleep
with
their
mouthes
shut
,
have
an
ill
sented
and
stinking
breath
.
But
I
am
other
wise
perswaded
.
For
as
lying
on
the
back
is
hurtfull
to
the
Lungs
and
midriff
,
so
that
they
will
swell
with
humours
powred
on
them
;
so
to
sleep
with
open
mouth
is
naught
for
ones
health
.
For
the
Lungs
being
full
of
holes
,
draw
in
abundantly
by
the
vocall
artery
,
the
obvious
Ayre
,
which
in
the
night
is
commonly
impure
and
troubled
:

That
the
curses
of
Parents
and
the
ill
wishes
that
they
wish
against
their
Children
,
and
ban
them
withall
,
do
sometimes
take
effect
and
fall
out
so
;
and
their
good
wishes
whereby
they
desire
all
good
to
happen
to
them
,
are
a
means
to
make
them
prosper
,
and
to
obtain
what
their
Parents
desired
might
happen
to
them
.
THe
Nature
of
mortall
men
is
fallen
into
so
great
cruelty
,
all
humanity
being
laid
aside
,
that
they
are
not
onely
barbarous
to
strangers
,
but
they
are
cruell
to
their
own
children
,
to
whom
they
should
wish
all
prosperity
.
For
who
doth
not
hear
daily
in
the
streets
and
villages
their
terrible
and
execrable
curses
:
whereby
they
most
inhumanely
curse
their
children
to
the
pit
of
hell
,
and
pray
for
all
mischiefs
to
fall
upon
them
:
and
I
remember
that
many
of
them
have
taken
effect
,
and
come
to
a
miserable
and
lamentable
end
.
CHAP.

.
How
comes
it
,
that
according
to
the
common
Proverb
,
scarce
any
man
returns
better
from
his
long
travels
,
or
from
a
long
disease
,
and
to
lead
a
better
life
afterwards
.
THere
is
an
upinion
that
is
of
long
continuance
,
and
a
perswasion
in
the
Low-Countries
,
that
is
commonly
objected
against
such
as
recover
of
a
long
disease
.
Hence
they
eat
,
and
drink
healths
one
after
another
round
about
,
and
so
they
gratify
them
that
are
restored
to
their
former
health
;
and
commonly
there
they
sing
bawdy
songs
;
and
such
things
,
that
are
not
fit
to
be
seen
or
heard
,
are
represented
.
These
things
and
many
such
like
do
easily
draw
a
sick
and
dubious
mind
that
hath
quickly
forgot
its
deliverance
,
to
embrace
what
is
worse
.
To
this
I
add
the
delicate
and
voluptuous
meats
,
which
the
humours
being
augmented
by
,
do
stimulate
and
prick
the
obscene
parts
with
,
Unchanged
nature
without
delay
,
For
so
great
is
the
inclination
and
pronenesse
of
mans
nature
to
that
which
is
worst
,
that
unlesse
God
were
very
desirous
of
our
salvation
,
and
did
continually
warn
us
,
and
send
us
some
great
afflictions
,
all
would
run
to
utter
oblivion
.
So
as
it
is
in
Esaias
,
onely
trouble
gives
so
much
understanding
to
the
ear
.
That
is
,
no
man
but
when
troubles
come
near
,
and
calamities
arise
,
doth
awake
and
give
attention
:
nor
doth
a
man
ever
think
to
live
frugally
and
moderately
,
or
thinks
of
leading
a
better
life
,
but
when
he
is
afflicted
,
or
when
we
chance
to
be
sick
of
feavers
and
other
cruel
diseases
,
and
are
tormented
with
most
terrible
pains
.
Now
there
is
nothing
that
turns
a
man
more
from
God
,
and
alienates
him
from
his
maker
,
than
prosperous
successe
and
abundance
of
all
things
:
because
this
people
returns
not
to
him
that
smites
them
,
therefore
is
not
his
fury
turned
away
,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still
,
and
lifted
up
again
to
smite
them
.
The
like
is
said
in
Jeremiah
,
and
complained
of
:
In
vain
have
I
smitten
your
children
,
and
they
have
not
received
instruction
.
I
smote
them
and
they
lame●●d
not
,
I
bruised
them
but
they
refused
to
be
instructed
;
they
made
their
●●ces
harder
than
a
stone
,
and
they
would
not
return
,
they
are
grown
rich
,
great
,
and
fat
,
and
they
foulely
passed
over
my
words
.
Wherefore
God
sometimes
chastiseth
us
more
bitterly
,
to
recall
us
to
an
honest
and
more
pious
life
.
So
Alexander
King
of
Macedo
,
who
suffer'd
men
to
honour
him
as
a
God
,
When
therefore
God
gives
a
man
abundance
of
all
things
,
as
riches
,
Gold
,
Silver
,
gallant
houses
,
stately
furniture
,
brave
garments
,
in
a
large
measure
,
thou
hast
eaten
and
art
full
,
and
hast
built
goodly
houses
,
and
when
thy
heards
and
they
flocks
,
thy
Silver
and
thy
Gold
are
multiplyed
,
and
all
that
thou
hast
,
take
heed
that
thine
heart
be
not
then
lifted
up
,
and
thou
forget
the
Lord
thy
God
the
giver
of
all
these
things
.
And
least
that
should
be
objected
to
them
for
their
ingratitude
and
forgetfulnesse
,
that
God
gave
them
butter
from
the
heard
,
and
milk
of
sheep
,
with
the
far
of
Lambs
and
Rams
,
with
the
flower
of
Wheat
,
and
delicate
Wines
in
abundance
,
but
when
Israel
was
fat
and
full
,
he
kicked
backwards
,
and
forgot
the
Lord
that
made
him
,
and
was
unthankfull
to
the
Authour
of
his
salvation
.
Wherefore
to
such
backfliders
Moses
threatneth
terrible
threatnings
and
punishments
,
and
lays
it
down
that
many
sad
and
miserable
calamities
shall
befall
them
;
whereby
,
Let
their
posterity
learn
an
be
warned
,
as
God
speaks
in
Jeremias
;
If
they
continue
in
the
same
fault
,
what
a
sad
and
bitter
thing
it
is
to
forsake
the
Lord
our
God
,
and
not
to
fear
and
reverence
him
,
who
is
the
Lord
God
of
hosts

Of
the
events
of
dreams
,
and
how
far
they
ought
to
be
observed
,
and
believed
.
SInce
of
old
time
men
were
wont
to
observe
dreams
with
incredible
vanity
and
superstition
,
and
to
credit
and
believe
them
;
The
great
and
good
God
that
would
have
no
man
troubled
in
undoubtfull
and
uncertain
things
,
that
disturb
the
tranquillity
of
the
mind
,
forbad
that
no
man
should
be
curious
in
observing
them
,
and
make
rash
interpretations
upon
them
,
On
what
by
day
our
senses
chance
to
light
,
When
that
we
sleep
,
we
see
the
same
by
night
.
The
Hunts-man
when
he
rests
,
his
mind
then
roves
Of
Hills
and
Dales
,
of
shady
Woods
and
Groves
.
Lawyers
plead
causes
,
Coach-men
Coaches
drive
,
And
the
night
Horses
seem
to
be
alive
.
The
Sea-man
loads
his
wares
,
the
Lover
comes
by
stealth
.
And
as
by
day
the
miser
hunts
for
wealth
.
And
he
that
thirsts
as
standing
on
the
brink
Of
Rivers
,
then
believes
that
he
doth
drink
.
And
I
in
silent
night
am
wont
to
muse
,
Of
divers
Arts
that
in
the
day
I
use
.
And
indeed
when
the
body
is
in
a
good
temper
,
we
see
in
out
sleep
no
other
visions
and
apparitions
,
then
such
actions
and
things
that
we
are
busied
about
in
the
day
time
.
But
if
our
sleep
be
interrupted
,
and
not
quiet
,
but
unequal
and
troublesome
,
we
are
then
perplexed
with
such
dreams
and
visions
that
are
troublesome
and
unusual
;
and
this
shews
that
our
bodies
abound
with
grosse
humours
,
as
Plutarch
saith
,
or
the
spirits
with
in
are
troubled
.
So
drunken
and
feavourish
people
use
to
be
disquieted

not

they
enquire
now

of

how
they
slept
in

;
and
what
they
dreamt
of

For
dreams
shew
the
diseases
and

of
the

For
if
any
man
dream
that
he
roles
in
filth
and
dirt
,
it
shews
that
his
body
is
full
of
corrupt
naughty
humours
;
but
if
he
dream
he
hath
been
in
gardens
amongst
sweet
flowers

hearbs
,
it
is
a
sign
that
the
humours
of
his

are
very
pure
and
clean

How
a

what
good
the

smoothnesse
,
of
a
Looking-glasse
,
can
do
to
Students
and
such
as
tire
their

in

,
and
how
it
may
restore
a
dull
sight
.
Men
have
not
Glasses
for
to
see
their
faces
,
But
rather
for
to
see
their
minds
graces
:
And
when
their
Heart
they
behold
,
To
think
what
they
did
of
old
,
Also
this
is
the
profit
,
the
use
of
a
Glasse
may
make
unto
us
,
that
it
may
sharpen
our
eyes
,
that
are
grown
dull
by
continuall
poring
,
and
help
to
recover
and
refresh
our
weary
sight
.
For
the
visuall
Spirits
are
gathered
together
,
and
are
recreated
by
new
Spirits
that
result
from
the
brain
;
I
am
not
so
deformed
,
I
lately
saw
my
face
,
When
that
the
Sea
was
calm
,
Wherefore
first
the
brightnesse
of
the
glasse
,
by
reflexion
shews
the
Suns
form
,
and
next
the
water
,
from
the
superficies
whereof
the
Sun-beams
are
beaten
back
.
The
like
reason
serves
for
a
Candle
,
Torch
,
or
the
Moon
being
over
against
a
Glasse
put
under
the

for
it
will
by
reflexion
return
the
object
double
.
Also
concave
Glasses
are
invented
for
another
use
,
that
being
held
against
the
Sun

by

will
burn

What
force
and
vertue
Aqua-vitae
hath
,
or
the
spirit
of
Wine
distill'd
,
and
who
may
safely
drink
it
:
by
the
way
,
some
admirable
effects
of
this
made-wine
,
are
set
down
.
THere
was
invented
in
the
memory
of
former
ages
,
an
art
of
distilling
,
for
the
use
and
preservation
of
mans
health
,
and
to
drive
away
sicknesse
,
whereby
we
distill
from
hearbs
,
juices
,
and
Physicall
liquors
,
which
,
though
it
be
certain
that
they
have
not
so
much
vertue
and
force
as
the
Infusion
and
decoction
of
the
hearbs
themselves
,
or
the
juice
pressed
forth
,
yet
are
they
not
wholly
to
be
rejected
,
as
they
are
by
some
men
.
Nor
must
we
judge
them
to
be
altogether
uneffectual
and
vain
;
for
the
quality
and
force
of
them
is
not
totally
lost
&
abolished
,
which
may
be
proved
,
as
by
many
things
,
so
by
Aquavitae
,
or
as
some
commonly
call
it
spirit
of
wine
,
Next
to
this
in
lightnesse
is
the
Oyl
pressed
forth
of
Linseed
and
Sesame
,
which
never
,
contrary
to
the
nature
of
other
Oyles
,
Next
to
this
is
the
liquor
distill'd
from
green
hearbs
by
force
of
the
fire
,
and
cleansed
Wine
that
hath
no
sweetnesse
mingled
with
it
.
For
that
Forreign
Wine
,
which
they
call
bastard
,
and
we
call
Serope
or
Zerape
,
is
heavier
than
all
liquors
,
so
that
vessels
fill'd
with
that
liquor
will
sink
in
the
water
.
Dew
of
Heaven
,
if
it
be
not
troubled
,
is
of
the
same
weight
with
Wine
,
namely
that
which
falls
from
the
Ayre
in
the
Month
of
May
,
and
is
kept
many
years
.
But
honey
is
a
third
part
heavier
than
they
.
Wherefore
there
is
no
liquor
,
that
is
used
any
ways
for
mans
body
that
is
lighter
or
more
penetrating
than
Aquavitae
,
as
it
is
called
,
because
it
sustains
mans
life
,
and
retards
old
age
,
or
that
better
preserves
all
things
from
putrefaction
and
corruption
.
The
use
whereof
is
grown
so
common
amongst
the
Dutch
,
that
they
drink
more
of
it
than
is
good
for
their
health
;
CHAP.

The
prodigious
force
of
Quicksilver
,
and
the
nature
of
it
:
the
Dutchmen
call
it
so
from
its
quick
motion
.
THere
are
two
principles
in
the
nature
of
things
,
out
of
which
in
the
deep
bowels
of
the
earth
all
mettals
are
made
of
,
The
one
is
Brimstone
as
the
Father
that
effects
and
acts
all
:
But
for
Quicksilver
,
that
is
that
watry
and
running
silver
,
what
quality
and
force
it
hath
,
and
whether
it
be
cold
or
hot
,
Physitions
cannot
agree
.
Some
say
it
is
cold
and
moist
,
because
if
you
touch
it
,
it
will
feel
exceeding
cold
,
and
will
astonish
them
,
and
cause
the
Palsie
:
others
say
it
is
hot
and
dry
from
the
effect
,
because
they
see
the
penetratious
nature
it
is
of
,
for
if
you
open
a
vein
of
those
that
have
been
once
or
twice
anointed
with
it
,
for
the
Pox
,
the
Quicksilver
hath
been
seen
sometimes
to
come
forth
;
which
I
think
proceeds
not
from
any
imbred
natural
heat
of
it
,
but
because
it
is
extinguished
with
some
burning
materials
or
else
mingled
,
whereby
the
cold
and
moist
quality
of
it
is
blunted
and
made
dull
,
and
a
fiery
quality
comes
in
the
place
of
them
.
For
there
is
a
kind
of
powder
that
Mountebank
,
Chirurgions
use
,
call'd
praecipitate
,
Amongst
which
the
safest
and
with
least
danger
is
,
to
do
it
with
mans
spittle
,
to
which
there
is
mixt
a
little
ashes
or
powder
of
cuttle-bone
.
Now
a
cuttle
is
a
sea-cat
,
whose
white
crumbly
bone

Gold-smiths
use
,
the
flesh
is
stirring

Lignum

light
sinks
to
the
bottom
of

water
.
though
it
be
light
,
and
of
no
weight
almost
,
sinks
down
to
the
bottom
if
you
put
it
into
water
because
it
is
compacted
,
and
there
are
no
pores
in
it

NO

knows
the
great

necessity
we
have

Salt

For
besides
that
,
that
Salt
makes
all
meats
savoury
,
and
most
pleasant
to
our
tast
and
Pallats
,
and
procures
an
appetite
to
our

,
it
preserves
all
things
from
corruption
,
especially
that
which
is
boyld
,
till
all
the
muddy
dreggs
be
taken
from
it
:
for
it
will
shine
of
a
bright
colour
,
and
all
things
may
be
safely
seasoned
therewith
,
and
kept
all

Summer

for
it
will
drink
up

consume
all
excrementitious
humours
,
and
thickneth
and
condenseth
all
flesh
and

,
that
the

But
if

Whether
a
man
should
drink
greedily
and
plentifully
,
or
by
little
and
little
and
sparingly
at
severall
times
,
when
he
is
thirsty
,
or
is
sat
at
Table
.
THe
principall
way
of
preserving
a
mans
health
,
consists
in
his
temperance
and
moderation
in
eating
and
drinking
.
But
because
I
have
spoken
elsewhere
abundantly
,
of
eating
dry
food
and
of
bread
,
I
shall
here
speak
of
drink
,
and
in
what
manner
and
measure
it
ought
to
be
used
.
First
it
cannot
be
prescribed
certainly
and
absolutely
to
those
that
are
in
Health
.
Because
some
are
accustomed
to
divers
wayes
or
doctrine
,
which
no
man
may
presently
break
off
,
but
he
will
be
in
danger
to
fall
into
some
sicknesse
.
The
best
and
safest
way
of
drinking
is
to
be
judged
of
,
according
to
the
age
of
people
,
and
difference
of
times
,
as
also
the
customes
they
have
long
used
,
and
as
their
strength
is
,
and
as
the
Wine
is
strong
or
weak
.
So
Beere
or
Wine
,
or
other
drink
must
be
prescribed
to
quench
a
mans
thirst
,
and
that
the
meat
may
not
be
dry
nor
flote
,
but
be
moderately
wet
.
Wherefore
the
body
must
be
refreshed
by
times
,
and
at
moderate
distances
,
and
the
meat
must
be
now
and
then
steeped
with
moisture
,
that
it
may
the
more
commodiously
goe
into
the
veins
by
concoction
,
and
be
digested
into
the
body
.
But
all
drunkennesse

All
such
things
as
hastily

or
rise

full
length

do

cannot
last

Sometimes
our
meats
are
hurt
,
and
contract
a
venemous
quality
,
by
the
sitting
of
some
venemous
creatures
upon
them
;
Likewise
in
mens
bodies
from
filth
abounding
in
them
,
some
things
are
bred
,
as
Frogs
,
Toads
,
Mice
,
Rats
,
Bats
;
and
an
example
of
this
is
set
down
.
NOt
onely
faulty
and
virulent
humours
breed
from
corrupt
nutriments
of
the
body
;
but
besides
some
sorts
of
Worms
,
divers
sorts
of
living
creatures
breed
in
the
secret
cavities
of
the
bowels
.
So
all
Shell-Fish
are
first
bred
from
some
muddy
and
slimy
moisture
,
and
all
glib
fish
,
as
Eels
in
speciall
,
which
afterwards
by
copulation
breed
whole
sholes
.
French
Pox.
The
intent
therefore
of
this
discourse
is
to
this
purpose
,
that
no
man
should
without
care
cram
in
foul
meats
,
and
not
well
wash'd
and
cleansed
from
outward
accidents
,
which
when
Country
people
neglect
,
they
use
to
be
scabby
and
full
of
Pushes
that
itch
,
and
to
be
deformed
with
many
fores
and
vices
of
their
skins
.
For
they
are
not
of
so
good
habit
of
body
,
and
sound
constitution
,
nor
so
comely
and
ingenious
,
and
of
such
excellent
naturall
parts
,
nor
yet
so
healthfull
,
generally
,
as
some
Noble
men
and
Gentlemen
are
,
that
will
suffer
no
meat
to
come
to
their
Tables
,
no
not
the
purest
White-bread
,
untill
the
outside
and
crust
of
it
be
finely
chipt
off

and
the
rest
of
their
provision
must
be
curiously
and
accurately

,
by
the
outward
Ayre
.
By
the
way
,
whence
proceeds
the

flowing
of

,
that
is
interchangeably
twice
in
the
space
of
a
naturall
day
.
But
when
the
season
and
the
flitting
Ayre
.
Grow
moist
,
For
the
Spirits
that
were
before
kept
in
,
break
forth
when
the
ayre
is
calme
and

,
And
thus

off
,
it
is
good
to
set
forth
when
it
is
full
Sea
,
and
the
waters
begin
to
fall
.
Again
if
any
man
sail
from
the
West
Southward
or
Eastward
,
he
must
set
forth
and
Sail
into
the
deep
at
low-water
,
when
the
Sea
is
comming
in
,
and
the
flouds
begin
to
come
back
;
So
that
he
must
alwaies
take
notice
of
the
Moons
motion
,
and
to
what
part
of
the
Heaven
she
enclines
,

it

Of

Mans

Hence
it
is
that

are
alwaies
full
of
spittle
in

is
overwet

such
as
are
hot
about
the
entrals
and
dry
with
a
feavorous
heat
,
their

are
not
wet
at
all

Since
therefore
the
qualities

effects
of
Spittle
come
from
the
humours
(
for
out
of
them
is
it
drawn
by
the
faculty

Predictions
of
Tempests
by
the
touch
of
Sea-water
,
and
what
Winter
Thunders
fore-shew
.
I
Oft
observed
as
I
passed
in
a
Ship
to
the
farther
Shores
;
by
putting
my
hand
into
the
Salt-water
,
that
the
Sea-water
was
luke-warm
,
which
shews
three
daies
before-hand
that
a
Tempest
is
comming
,
with
strong
winds
and
storms
.
For
when
in
the
deep
Sea
that
is
far
from
us
,
whence
the
floud
comes
to
us
,
there
hath
been
a
tempest
,
the
Sea-water
shaken
and
tossed
grows
hot
,
as
our
hands
do
clapt
together
,
and
so
the
tempests
come
roling
along
unto
us
,
and
the
waves
rise
to
a
mighty
height
.
So
when
the
Spring
comes
,
Southern
tempests
bring
forth
hearbs
and
grasse
,
by
the
motion
and
agitation
of
the
Ayre
that
causeth
heat
.
Likewise
if
in
Winter
it
Thunders
and
Lightens
,
and
the
Ayre
be
hot
with
frequent
coruscations
,
it
shews
that
a
tempest
will
follow
,
and
Whirl-winds
will
arise
and
cause
great
floods
in
the
Ocean
.
Winter
Thunders
foreshew
Tempests
.
For
when
that
distemper
of
the
Ayre
is
tossed
besides
the
season
,
and
contrary
to
natures
order
,
there
must
needs
be
some
violent
cause
that
moves
those
tempests
;
for
I
never
observed
any
such
thing
but
the
next
day
grievous
tempests
arose
and
inundations
in
many
places
.
For
thunder
and
lightning
are
ordinary
in
Summer
,
as
also
burning
Feavers
,
which
if
they
come
in
Winter
,
it
must
proceed
from
some
vehement
cause
,
which
the
contrariety
of
the
season
could
not
hinder
.
To
which
purpose
is
that
of
Hippocrates
.
Those
are
not
so
dangerously
sick
that
fall
sick
of
a
disease
that
is
suitable
to
their
nature
,
age
,
custome
,
or
to
the
season
of
the
year
,
as
those
are
that
are
sick
without
any
of
these
circumstances
.

Children
are
delighted
with
beautifull
things
,
and
cannot

the

therefore
they
are
not
to
be
put
to

with
old

in

much
lesse

How
it
comes
to
passe
that
children
,
women
with

,
Priests
,
and
such
as
lead
a
solitary
and
sedentary
life
,
are
of
all
people
first
infected
with
popular
diseases
,
and
with
the
Plague
.
I
Find
by
experience
that
when
popular
and
contagious
diseases
spread
abroad
,
CHAP.
LII
.
Divers
documents
of
Nature
,
and
a
fit
conjunction
of
several
matters
,
which
because
I
purposed
to
handle
them
with
a
convenient
brevity
;
I
have
bound
them
up
together
in
one
bundle
.
DIstilled
water
that
we
draw
from
green
and
fresh
hearbs
never
corrupts
,
because
all
earthly
matter
is
concocted
in
them
,
and
wasted
,
and
there
is
in
it
a
kind
of
aereall
substance
,
whence
it
comes
that
it
will
endure
no
boyling
.
For
if
you
set
it
to
the
fire
to
boyl
,
it
loseth
all
its
vertue
:
for
it
being
pure
and
purged
,
there
is
nothing
that
can
be
taken
from
it
;
and
thence
it
is
that
it
putrefies
sooner
,
and
grows
mouldy
on
the
top
,
than
fountain
water
boyled
doth
.
So
Ale
boyl'd
,
or
fountain
or
pond-water
,
though
it
be
thick
and
muddy
,
is
of
a
better
taste
,
and
not
so
sowre
,
as
that
which
is
made
of
rain
and
clear
water
.
For
troubled
water
being
boyled
,
if
there
be
any
corruption
in
it
,
it
is
boyl'd
away
and
grows
better
.
Hermolaus
Barbarus
speaks
off
,
that
water
that
hath
been
corrupted
seven
times
,
and
purged
again
,
will
never
corrupt
more
.
Because
,
as
I
think
,
all
the
earthly
substance
is
taken
from
it
,
and
voided
away
,
and
it
is
wholly
purged
of
all
its
dregs
that
were
the
cause
of
its
corrupting
.
So
it
is
observed
that
that
kind
of
drink
the
people
call
spruse
Beer
,
at
a
certain
time
of
the
year
will
grow
sowre
,
and
afterwards
strangely
come
to
its
former
vigour
:
the
same
happens
in
that
outlandish
wine
called
Bastard
,
and
black
Spanish-wine
,
that
stains
ones
hands
and
napkins
,
and
makes
all
linnen
of
a
deep
red
colour
,
as
the
Actian
Cherries
do
,
which
we
commonly
call
Morellen
.
There
are
two
liquours
no
lesse
delightfull
than
healthfull
for
mens
bodies
,
that
is
wine
within
,
oyle
without
:
Amber
draws
unto
it
,
straw
and
all
dry
light
matter
,
but
if
they
be
anointed
with
oyl
it
will
not
touch
them
,
The
Apothecaries

white

Egg
beaten

and
mingled
with
quick-lime
,
will
sodder
broken
glasses
,
Garlick
set
near
Roses
makes
them
smell
the
more
sweet
,
because
the
acrimony
and
heat
of
Garlick
draws
forth
their
natural
forces
and
stirs
them
up
;
for
what
is
faint
with
cold
,
There
are
a
multitude
of
things
,
whereof
we
may
render
a
probable
reason
;
As
for
example
,
Purslane
cures
teeth
astonished
,
Those
that
have
dull
noses
,
and
have
lost
their
smells
or
impared
them
;
Therefore
our
Country-men
are
to
be
blamed
that
eat
it
when
supper
or
dinner
is
almost
at
an
end
,
for
they
think
it
will
help
them
the
better
to
concoct
their
meat
;
but
it
is
an
enemy
to
the
stomach
,
unlesse
it
be
eaten
before
meat
with
water
and
Salt
,
for
otherwise
it
causeth
ill
vapours
,
and
stinking
belchings
to
rise
up
.
And
if
you
cut
a
little
piece
of
it
,
and
put
it
into
wine
,
it
will
presently
contract
a
filthy
stinking
smell
.
Tartar
oyl
will
presently
take
off
Iron
rust
,
So
the
Cyrenean
juice
called
Benzoin
,
and
Storax
Calamites
,
are
very
effectuall
to
keep
away
putrefaction
.
For
they
drive
off
all
ill
vapours
and
corrupt
Ayres
;
and
make
the
ambient
Ayre
that
is
commonly
the
cause
of
corruption
,
more
pure
by
their
sweet
and
pleasant
vapours
proceeding
from
their
dry
and
hot
qualities
.
In
Summer
,
that
wine
in
Cask
may
not
soon
grow
sowre
,
and
wax
hot
,
If
any
man
desires
to
mix
water
with
his
wine
because
it
is
too
strong
to
drink
,
If
any
one
would
keep
Chestnuts
from
corrupting
,
let
him
mingle
Walnuts
with
them
for
they
will
drink
up
all
filthy
excrementicious
moisture
from
them
,
That
wine
may
please
the
pallat
,
and
be
well
liked
for
taste
and
smell
;
put
an
Orange
or
Pom-citron
,
stuck
with
cloves
,
into
the
vessel
,
that
it
may
touch
the
wine
and
swim
in
it
,
for
it
would
rot
by
being
wet
;
it
will
contract
no
dead
or
musty
taste
,
but
will
have
an
excellent
rellish
.

CHAP.
I.
How
children
are
forced
to
endure
the
reproaches
and
disgraces
of
their
Parents
;
and
the
faults
and
wicked
actions
of
their
Progenitors
,
are
so
far
imputed
unto
these
,
that
by
reason
of
them
,
they
lose
their
reputation
or
substance
,
and
goods
of
fortune
,
or
sustain
some
dammages
in
their
bodies
or
minds
.
THere
is
an
excellent
Sermon
in
Ezechiel
,
or
rather
a
severe
and
reprehensive
expostulation
of
God
with
them
who
complain'd
that
they
suffer'd
for
their
Parents
faults
,
What
is
it
,
saith
the
Lord
,
that
you
turn
this
Parable
into
a
Proverb
,
saying
every
where
:
The
Fathers
have
eaten
sowre
Grapes
,
and
the
Childrens
Teeth
are
set
on
edge
?
As
I
live
saith
the
Lord
,
you
shall
no
more
use
this
Proverb
,
for
all
souls
are
mine
,
as
the
soul
of
the
Fathers
,
so
of
the
Children
also
;
the
soul
that
sins
,
that
shall
dye
.
Wherefore
God
taking
away
this
Proverb
pronounced
that
every
man
should
dye
for
his
own
sin
;
and
that
the
wickednesse
of
the
Progenitors
,
nor
any
of
their
disgraces
should
be
derived
to
their
posterity
,
unlesse
they
go
in
the
same
way
their
Parents
did
,
or
follow
their
vitious
footsteps
.
For
whoever
,
as
he
speaks
at
large
in
this
whole
Chapter
,
despising
and
forsaking
God
,
and
imitating
and
following
his
forefathers
sins
,
useth
the
same
ungodly
practises
his
Ancestors
did
,
and
contaminates
and
pollutes
himself
with
rapins
,
usuries
,
calumnies
,
adulteries
,
frauds
,
deceits
,
cavillings
,
idolatries
,
filthy
lusts
,
and
other
ungodly
waies
,
and
will
not
obey
Gods
precepts
and
Commandments
,
but
rejects
his
wholesome
instructions
,
as
he
is
in
the
same
fault
with
his
progenitours
so
shall
he
partake
of
the
same
punishment
;
For
being
that
he
was
the
common
Parent
of
all
mankind
,
and
from
him
the
nature
of
man
being
traduced
,
was
thereby
vitiated
this
guilt
and
corruption
and
depravation
of
nature
was
spread
by
propagation
into
all
his
posterity
,
as
it
falls
out
with
them
that
are
born
of
sickly
Parents
from
faulty
humours
and
corrupt
seed
,
Likewise
some
dye
suddenly
before
their
time
,
when
the
Parents
for
the
Childrens
cause
indulge
unto
themselves
overmuch
:
and
do
nothing
but
gripe
and
plot
for
wealth
,
possessions
honours
,
dignities
,
and
lofty
titles
:
and
they
make
their
way
unto
them
by
right
and
wrong
,
and
without
any
firm
trust
in
God
,
do
all
they
can
to
mount
to
high
preferments
;
whereas
God
oft-times
soon
takes
their
children
from
this
life
,
He
pleased
God
and
was
beloved
of
him
,
so
that
living
amongst
sinners
he
was
translated
,
yea
speedily
was
he
taken
away
,
lest
that
wickednesse
should
alter
his
understanding
,
or
deceit
beguil
his
soul
,
therefore
hasted
he
to
take
him
away
from
the
midst
of
the
wicked
.
And
when
men
see
this
,
saith
he
,
they
understand
not
the
cause
of
it
,
nor
can
they
tell
why
they
dye
so
soon
,
and
come
so
suddenly
to
an
end
.
So
sometimes
it
falls
out
by
the
providence
of
God
,
that
the
heir
dieth
,
and
all
hopes
of
posterity
and
the
very
pillar
of
the
family
falls
.
Also
Hoseas
professeth
that
God
takes
away
some
mens
children
for
their
Parents
wickednesse
.
Their
glory
shall
flye
away
like
a
Bird
,
from
the
birth
and
from
the
Womb
and
from
the
conception
:
that
is
,
they
shall
be
barren
and
unfruitfull
,
For
race
and
birth
are
not
our
works
,
Nor
ours
can
be
said
.
To
which
purpose
speaks
the
Satyrist
.
If
thou
be
noble
as
Achilles
stout
,
All
which
shews
that
true
nobility
and
honour
are
not
to
be
so
much
measured
by
the
stock
and
noble
descent
men
come
from
,
as
by
their
own
vertue
,
integrity
of
life
,
and
sincerity
of
manners
.
And
,
Lastly
that
men
of
good
parts
are
not
to
be
despised
,
though
they
be
of
mean
place
or
Parentage
,
if
they
aim
and
endeavour
themselves
to
perform
noble
actions
.
Which
is
shewed
in
that
whole
narration
of
Ezechiel
where
this
matter
is
fully
amplified
,
and
the
rash
Judgements
of
men
and
their
inconsiderate
and
reproachfull
speeches
against
God
,
are
strongly
convinced
and
reprehended
.

Wherefore
when
men
grow
well
after
a
disease
,
do
their
genitall
parts
swell
,
and
they
naturally
desire
copulation
:
and
of
this
matter
here
is
a
safe
admonition
,
and
wholesome
counselset
down
.
WHen
people
that
were
sick
recover
of
their
diseases
,
they
do
not
presently
grow
well
and
regain
the
strength
they
had
;
but
they
are
restored
by
good
diet
and
wholesome
nutriment
;
for
though
the
disease
be
shaken
off
,
and
the
Feavourish
heat
extinguished
,
yet
there
remain
in
the
body
still
some
prints
and
impressions
,
of
the
health
dejected
and
cast
down
;
so
that
by
reason
of
feeblenesse
no
part
almost
can
well
perform
its
office
,
when
we
should
use
them
;
The
Wife
that
is
sick
would
alwaies
have
something
.
Whereby
they
mean
that
when
their
wives
are
sick
,
it
is
not
alwaies
for
sweet
wines
and
delicate
meats
,
but
for
something
else
,
that
men
can
better
please
them
with
,
then
by
presenting
them
with
the
greatest
presents
you
can
give
them
:
Whence
Solomon
compares
their
yawning
,
and
wide
open
dores
,
to
the
Jaws
of
hell
and
the
grave
,
that
are
never
satisfied
.
And
if
lusty
and
stout
men
when
they
first
marry
can
hardly
hold
out
,
when
they
too
frequently
use
venerious
actions
,
and
,
to
speak
in
Tullyes
language
,
enter
their
wives
too
often
,
how
much
more
must
weak
and
sickly
men
be
dejected
and

There
is
indeed
in
every
part
an
imbred
force
and
vertue
,
as
sight
to
the
eyes
,
For
the
eyes
with
continual
poring
are
toyled
and
grow
dim
.
The
Ears
with
too
great
noise
grow
deafe

Wherefore
in
preserving
the
forces
of
nature
,
and
corroborating
the
state
of
the
body
,
all
things
must
be
used
temperately
and
with
moderation
,
that
every
man
may
seasonably
and
maturely
grow
old
without
trouble
;
for
lustfull
youth
will
when
old
age
comes
,
leave
a
froward
and
peevish
mind
,
and
a
decayed
and
feeble
body
.

Of
the
effect
of
the
Ayre
,
and
gentle
blasts
,
and
of
the
names
of
the
winds
,
with
their
forces
and
natures
to
cause
diseases
,
and
to
stir
the
humours
,
which
being
agitated
sometimes
move
the
mind
and
molest
it
.
THere
are
two
external
accidental
things
,
that
are
no
lesse
hurtfull
than
they
are
healthfull
to
our
bodies
.
Which
do
support
our
health
,
and
sometimes
make
us
sick
:
For
these
will
force
and
make
the
winds
to
rore
,
But
since
outward
winds
are
commonly
offensive
to
us
,
and
by
their
penetrating
force
do
us
much
hurt
,
I
shall
chiefly
speak
of
them
here
.
For
they
sometimes
get
secretly
into
our
bodies
,
and
sometimes
openly
,
and
by
violence
they
rush
in
,
and
do
great
hurt
to
men
,
heards
of
cattle
,
Corn
,
hearbs
,
Trees

Marcus
Varro
when
he
was
at
Corcyra
,
The
East
wind
went
where
first
the
morning
Sun
Doth
shine
,
the
West
where
the
Sun
sets
,
the
North
Invaded
Scythia
,
when
they
begun
,
The
Cloudy
South
from
Southern
parts
came
forth
.
Others
that
thought
to
do
it
more
exactly
number
twelve
winds
.
But
in
our
dayes
the
Art
of
Navigation
,
by
reason
of
the
vast
and
spacious
circumference
of
the
Ocean
,
and
the
long
voiages
in
the
Mediterranean
Sea
,
hath
found
out
thirty
two
winds
,
But
do
you
think
that
it
is
lost
?
But
Politick
men
that
are
not
used
to
the
Sea
,
do
not
so
much
regard
the
number
of
the
winds
as
the
nature
of
them
.
Cor.
Celsus
,
and
Ovid
call
it
neither
hot
nor
cold
,
The
cold
North
,
the
Lukewarm
South
.
But
at
Midsummer
,
when
the
Sun
is
hot
,
the
Eastern
wind
causeth
heat
,
and
kindles
yellow
choller
,
and
from
the
inflammation
thereof
burning
Feavers
spring
up
:
But
in
the
winter
it
is
somewhat
milder
,
and
not
so
sharp
and
cold
as
the
North-wind
.
The
East-wind
called
Eurus
is
kind
to
the
true
East-wind
,
Do
prove
their
passage
,
Since
therefore
there
are
many
things
that
are
apt
to
change
mans
condition
,
especially
the
concourse
of
the
winds
and
unstable
motions
of
the
Ayre
can
do
it
,
by
whose
violence
not
onely
our
bodies
but
our
animal
spirits
suffer
wrong
,
and
the
mind
it self
is
somewhat
distemper'd
that
as
the
Ayre
and
winds
vary
,
so
is
it
calm
or
troubled
;
though
the
diet
and
Intemperance
in
meats
and
drinks
is
of
great
concernment
,
to
constitute
the
habit
of
the
body
,
and
to
foster
our
affections
.
Collateral
and
middle
winds
,
which
decline
somewhat
from
the
South
,
and
bend
somewhat
toward
the
West
in
winter
,
have
the
same
force
that
the
South
and
South-West
winds
have
,
Prester
Ecnephias
;
What
should
I
speak
of
Autumns

;
Also
they
cause
many
diseases
to
mens
bodies
,
and
shake
them
no
lesse
than
they
do
stubble
.
For
in
Spring
and
Autumn
,
especially
in
the
Month
of
March
,
they
heap
upon

so
that
they
who
are
so

,
do
shew
signs
of
some
tempests
at
hand
,
and
can
undoubtedly
foresay
and
certify
what
weather
we
shall
have
:
we
call
them

that
is

Andreas
ab
Aurea
being
addicted
to
that
opinion
,
who
was
Admiral
of
the
Caesarian
Fleet
,
amongst
the
Genuenses
,
gave
this
counsell
to
Charls
the
fist
,
who
was
Emperour
,
to
take
notice
of
that
.
For
when
he
intended
an
expedition
into
Africa
,
and
the
Emperour
thought
at
the
first
appearance
of
the
North
wind
to
go
against
the
Morts
,
For
he
sends
Snow
like
Wool
,
and
scattereth
his
Frost
like
Ashes
.
Who
casteth
out
his
Ice
like
Morsels
,
and
makes
all
things
to
be
overlaid
with
Ice
,
as
with
a
plain
:
who
is
able
to
abide
his
frost
?
He
sendeth
out
his
word
and
melteth
them
,
and
presently
the
waters
flow
.
He
takes
away
the
East
wind
,
and
by
his
word
doth
the
South-West
wind
blow
.
He
rules
by
his
power
over
the
Sea
,
and
with-holds
the
violence
of
its
waves
,
he
bringeth
forth
the
scorching
wind
,
and
dries
up
the
buds
of
the
Earth
:
God
indeed
suffers
this
world
and
the
nature
of
all
things
to
be
carried
along
by
the
order
and
manner
of
it
,

will
appoint
over
you
terrour

consumptions
,
and
the
burning
Ague

and
cause
sorrow
of
heart

I
will
make
the
Heaven

IIII.
Of
the
Marriners
Compasse
,
which
Plautus
calls
Versoria
,
by
observation
whereof
Marriners
sail
to
Sea
;
and
by
what
vertue
,
and
for
what
reason
,
it
alwaies
points
to
the
North.
SInce
I
spake
of
the
winds
before
,
and
that
somewhat
largely
;
It
is
requisite
I
should
say
something
of
the
Marriners
Compasse
;
because
Marriners
,
by
the
use
and
benefit
of
this
,
make
their
voyages
to
Sea
;
and
do
thereby
passe
over
the
long
and
vast
distances
of
the
Ocean
,
and
come
to
places
that
are
scituate
very
far
off
;
and
they
can
exactly
tell
hereby
how
much
of
their
voyage
is
over
,
Here
shines
Joves

,
Great
and
Little
Bear
,
By
the
great
Stars

Grecians
ruled

.
But
the
Phoenicians
do
the
least
respect
,
And
Sea-men
on
those
Stars
do
most
reflect
:
Their
course
is
short
,
and
certain
,
and
perfect

Kings

and
the
Persian
Gulph
,
whereby
there
lyes
an
open
passage
into
India
(
the
Jews
call
it
Ophir
)
and
brought
a
vast
treasure
of
Gold
,
Apes
,
Peacocks
,
Elephants
,
Jewels
,
from
thence
as
the
Portingals
do
now
,
and
can
hardly
make
their
voyage
in
the
space
of
a
year
.
Wherefore
I
think
no
man
ought
rashly
to
believe
that
in
those
times
they
wanted
these
helps
for
sayling
,
What
was
,
saith
he
,
afore-time
is
now
,
and
what
is
past
shall
be
renewed
:
and
there
is
no
new
thing
under
the
Sun
,
and
if
any
thing
seem
to
be
new
,
it
was
in
the
dayes
that
were
before
us
:
and
the
things
that
now
are
shall
be
forgotten
,
because
they
shall
perish
and
decay
with
age
.
So
some
think
there
was
some
Art
of
Printing
formerly
used
,
as
they
conjecture
from
some
Antient
pictures
,
I
saw
Salmoneus
tortur'd
cruelly
,
Whil'st
he
Joves
flames
and
Thunder
did
present
:
He
rode
with
Horses
four
,
his
Coach
did
fly
,
Amongst
the
Greeks
,
through
Elis
City
went
.
He
shook
his
Torch
,
and
boasted
that
by
right
,
As
Gods
,
ador'd
he
should
be
for
his
might
.
Mad
fool
,
to
think
that
Ayre
and
Horses
can
,
Make
Clouds
and
Thunder
,
are
too
high
for
man
.
Though
all
these
things
are
doubtfull
,
and
we
can
pronounce
nothing
certainly
from
them
;
for
,
it
may
be
,
some
other
thing
is
meant
thereby
,
yet
of
the
Needle
there
is
another
reason
.
For
when
the
Pole
and
little
Bear
by
interposition
of
Clouds
and
darknesse
cannot
be
seen
by
the
Marriners
,
they
are
in
eminent
danger
on
all
sides
,
and
therefore
we
may
certainly
determine
,
that
since
Navigation
was
then
so
common
,
in
that
age
they
did
not
want
these
helps
of
Sailing
.
If
you
make
haste
,
to
do
it
better
,
take
The
Compasse
whil'st
the
wind
is
good
;
Wherefore
no
man
can
doubt
but
the
Antients
had
the
use
and
benefit
of
the
Marriners
Chart.

Wherefore
that

with

there
is
a

shall

unlesse
his

be

pulled
forth

be

if

shew
themselves
in
his
Tongue
and

,

the

are
of
a
wan
colour
,
and
blackish
,
these
are
signs
that
the
internalls
are
of
an
ill
constitution
,
and
therefore
it
is
thought
fit
not
to
kill
them
;
or
if
they
be
killed
ignorantly
,
that
they
must
be
buried
under
ground
.
And
if
no
such
thing
appear
,
they
that
are
appointed
Judges
of
this
businesse
,
do
pronounce
that
the
Hog
is
sound
and
fit
for
to
be
eaten
.
But
because
oft-times
this
creature
may
be
faulty
though
he
be
sound
in
that
respect
;
Wherefore
our
Countrey
people
when
they

Puyen

they
use
to
cry

John

day
is
memorable

not
onely
to
Jews
and
Christians
,
but
also
to
Mores
and
Barbarians
and
Mahumetans
,
men
that
are
strangers
to
our
religion
,
and
addicted
to
Mahomet
;
though
some
do
passe
this
night
over
with
strange
and
superstitious
worship
,
making
great
bon-fires
and
burning
great
piles
of
wood
,
as
the
Priests
of
Cybele
did
,
with
great
out-cries
,
and
furious
noises
;
and
young
people
make
crackers
,
and
squibs
,
with
fire-coles
heaped
together
.
Some
by
a
superstition
of
the
Gentiles
fall
down
before
his
Image
,
and
hope
to
be
thus
freed
from
the
Epileps
;
and
they
are
farther
perswaded
,
that
if
they
can
but
gently
go
unto
this
Saints
shrine
,
and
not
cry
out
disorderly
,
or
hollow
like
mad
men
when
they
go
,
then
they
shall
be
a
whole
year
free
from
this
disease
:
but
if
they
attempt
to
bite
with
their
teeth
the
Saint's
head
they
go
to
kisse
,
and
to
revile
him
;
then
they
shall
be
troubled
with
this
disease
every
Month
,
which
commonly
comes
with
the
course
of
the
Moon
,
yet
extream
juglings
and
frauds
are
wont
to
be
concealed
under
this
matter
.
And
since
these
solemnities
of
several
Countries
are
usually
performed
in
the
night
,
by
antient
custome
,
that
I
may
not
say
inveterate
errour
,
hence
grew
the
Proverb
,
Olaus
Magnus
,
John
Baptist
was
born
in
(
who
was
a
fore-runner
,
and
one
sent
forth
,
or
because
he
was
the
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
Wildernesse
,
and
a
Herauld
of
Jesus
Christ
,
)
is
most
solemn
and
sacred
to
that
Nation
,
Belli
Gallici
;
Thus
superstitious
men
by
a
preposterous
worship
to
flatter
the
Saints
,
and
hope
to
win
their
favours
,
whereas
they
neither
imitate
their
holy
lives
,
or
strive
to
be
of
such
manners
as
they
were
of
,
nor
do
they
in
any
thing
walk
in
their
steps
,
which
kind
of
worship
is
the
most
acceptable
to
God
and
to
his
Saints
.
John
Baptists
solemnities
are
performed
with
such
noise
and
tumults
,
and
superstition
,
I
think
came
from
hence

it

exposed

and
incursions
,
Den
heert
,
with
a
fork
,
and
a
large
vessel
being
set
upon
it
,
and
made
hot
with
fire
put
under
it
,
they
cast
the
clots
and
pieces
,
that
are
wet
with
a
briny
salt
liquor
that
drops
from
them
abundantly
into
the
vessel
,
and
these
they
break
small
and
soke
in
Sea-water
,
and
boyl
them
;
after
a
few
hours
the
muddy
dregs
will
sink
down
to
the
bottom
,
and
most
white
Salt
is
drawn
forth
.
Cleyn
zout
,
or
Cliync
zout
,
for
that
the
clots
of
it
struck
one
against
the
other
like
flints
for
hardnesse
,
will
make
a
clanging
noise
.
This
kind
of
Salt
is
fit
to
bring
to
the
Table
to
adorn
it
with
,
and
is
usefull
for
many
things
:
yet
is
it
not
so
good
to
preserve
things
.
Wherefore
they
rub
Cow-hides
,
and
skins
with
this
salt
,
and
cover
them
with
it
,
as
they
do
also
with
coorse
Sea-salt
.
Wherefore
the
Senate
made
a
Law
,
that
no
man
should
sell
such
salt
,
Zoult
Nelle
,
from
its
Salt
savour
:
it
grows
abundantly
on
the
Mountaines
of
Zealand
,
being
neighbout
to
Halymus
,
Sampire
,
Anthillis
and
Eringos
.
It
delights
in
the
Sea
Ayre
,
yet
it
is
not
watered
with
it
,
as
the
Sea
weeds
are
,
of
which
I
shall
speak
afterwards
.
This
herb
creeps
on
the
ground
,
Stoneçrop
,
Worm-grasse
,
Housleek
or
winter
Sengreene
:
the
stalk
is
a
hand
long
,
standing
firmly
upright
,
round
and
knotted
,
with
joynts
in
their
orders
to
distinguish
it
,
with
many
round
stalks
growing
to
it
on
both
sides
,
which
are
very
smooth
,
and
compacted
together
,
and
seem
as
though
they
would
be
pulled
out
one
of
the
other
,
as
Horse-tayls
are
,
with
leaves
proceeding
from
a
single
stalke
,
and
they
are
garded
about
with
it
,
they
are
barwny
,
thick
,
full
of
juyce
,
and
as
thick
as
reeds
,
we
call
it
Riet
,
they
hang
about
Passengers
feet
to
stop
them
,
and
hinder
their
going
,
and
they
make
a
noise
and
crackling
when
we
walk
upon
them
,
the
root
is
small
,
thin
,
and
with
slender
hairs
.
The
whole
herb
from
its
bottom
unto
the
top
of
it
,
den
Bot
,
by
eating
this
herb
they
are
recreated
and
cured
.
For
it
is
a
most
Salt
Plant
,
because
allwaies
when
the
Sea
comes
in
,
it
is
watered
by
it
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
being
thus
moystned
,
it
grows
thick
and
abundantly
.
But
those
that
would
keep
this
for
sawce
,
my
Counsell
is
that
they
boyl
it
moderately
,
and
pickle
it
with
Vineger
not
too
sharp
,
rather
than
with
Salt
pickle
,
or
to
cover
it
with
Bay-Salt
,
as
they
do
Purslane
.
The
use
of
it
is
more
wholesome
for
flegmatique
and
fat
people
,
than
for
such
as
are
lean
and
spare
.
There
lyes
under
the
earth
where
this
herb
grows
,
and
almost
under
all
Sea
costs
,
first
a
clay
that
is
clammy
and
glutinous
,
and
being
handled
will
stick
to
ones
hands
,
and
it
will
not
easily
be
shaken
off
.
But
like
a
fish
that
cleaves
unto
your
hands
,
if
that
you
handle
it
.
And
if
it
spot
your
cloths
,
it
can
hardly
be
washt
off
.
We
call
it
Cley
because
it
Cleves
,
the
Brabanders
call
it
Leem
;
Rembertus
Dodonaeus
a
Physitian
of
Mechlin
,
a
man
that
for
illustrating
of
Plants
,
and
in
his
practice
of
Physick
,
is
very
knowing
and
industrious
.
Every
where
neere
the
Sea
,
there
are
Forts
and
Bullwarks
raised
to
resist
the
Sea-waves
,
at
their
very
entrance
and
first
coming
into
the
Haven
,
made
of
beams
and
long
poles
drove
in
straight
and
crosse
wayes
,
Ruder
than
Kneeholme
,
than
Sea-weed
more
baser
.
Yet
it
hath
some
use
in
Physick
:
for
it
abateth
pains
of
the
Gowt
and
Joynts
,
the
body
being
first
purged
,
it
discusseth
inflammations
,
it
cools
and
dryes
farr
more
effectually
than
Ducks
meat
upon
ponds
,
But
there
are
in
Zeland
,
who
are
the
utmost
people
of
the
Belgick
nation
(
whom
Tacitus
calls
Mattiacos
,
Before
,
saith
he
,
your
Thorns
be
grown
,
and
become
hard
as
white
Thorn
,
the
Lord
shall
break
you
,
and
take
you
away
,
and
shall
make
you
melt
as
a
Snail
,
and
an
abortive
child
.
Whereby
he
describes
the
factions
and
deeds
of
wicked
men
,
shewing
that
their
Tyranny
,
threats
,
power
,
endeavours
,
and
undertakings
,
shall
all
come
to
nothing
,
and
shall
never
do
the
hurt
they
intended
,
taking
a
comparison
from
the
Buckthorn
,
that
when
it
is
grown
up
,
is
full
of
hurtful
prickles
,
but
in
the
spring
it
is
tender
,
soft
,
tractable
,
and
not
so
hurtfull
.
Now
there
are
in
these
Sea-coasts
,
many
shrubby
plants
,
whereof
some
growing
far
from
the
shore
,
yet
receive
the
Sea
Ayre
,
though
they
be
never
wet
with
Sea-water
;
others
are
moistned
by
the
Sea
coming
in
,
when
the
Ocean
over-flows
,
as
it
useth
to
do
in
winter
,
at
the
full
or
new
of
the
Moon
:
hence
it
is
that
all
Sea
plants
are
of
a
wan
colour

CHAP.
I.
Of
the
force
and
effect
of
the
Moon
,
by
whose
motion
the
Sea
is
driven
,
and
what
useth
to
happen
to
men
that
are
dying
,
or
desperately
sick
when
they
are
in
their
agony
,
and
are
beginning
to
dye
,
by
the
flowing
and
ebbing
of
the
Sea
,
and
motion
of
the
Moon
;
whose
forces
,
such
as
live
near
the
Sea
,
perceive
more
effectually
than
other
men
.
I
Shewed
before
what
power
this
Planet
had
,
For
in
the
low
Countries
those
that
live
by
the
Sea
,
as
I
have
proved
it
,
use
to
dye
after
a
diverse
manner
,
according
as
the
humours
abound
in
them
.
Wherefore
all
those
ruffe
,
and
hairy
Beasts
,
and
such
also
as
have
a
tender
and
soft
skin
,
whereof
rich
skins
and
coverings
are
made
,
live
rather
in
cold
than
in
hot
Countryes
,
and
thereupon
their
haire
sheds
the
lesse
,
because
their
skin
is
more
contracted
,
and
their
hide
is
more
condensed
and
bound
up
by
the
cold
:
so
that
it
holds
the
hayrs
the
faster
,
that
they
will
not
soon
fall
off
,
or
flye
away
.
Wherefore
wild
ones
,
that
run
up
and
down
as
they
list
,
wandring
here
and
there
,
are
the
most
wholesome
to
be
eaten
,
and
their
skins
are
thicker
,
and
their
hair
grows
faster
and
closer
to
their
hides
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
Islands
in
Zeland
,
and
of
the
nature
of
people
there
,
and
their
Conditions
,
Manners
,
Original
;
and
what
great
benefits
the
land
of
this
fruitfull
Countrey
affords
to
strangers
,
in
a
short
and
clear
description
:
wherein
,
by
the
way
,
the
memory
of
things
done
is
rubbed
up
,
and
many
naturall
causes
are
explained
.
SInce
the
Countrey
of
Zeland
affords
so
many
things
that
are
usefull
for
life
,
and
for
the
good
of
other
Nations
;
I
wonder
that
so
many
people
should
so
undervalue
this
Countrey
,
and
despise
it
.
For
,
besides
the
gallant
and
huge
high
Bay-trees
(
that
I
may
begin
from
the
fruitfulnesse
of
the
ground
)
which
are
full
of
great
shining
berries
,
Spain
,
Philip
Prince
of
the
Low-Countries
,
did
exceedingly
wonder
at
,
in
special
,
and
so
did
his
Lords
and
Courtiers
that
were
about
him
.
To
these
we
may
add
the
commodity
for
Havens
,
and
safe
places
for
ships
to
ride
in
,
where
every
Nation
comes
,
and
they
are
most
fit
for
sailing
to
any
part
of
the
world
they
please
to
set
forth
for
,
nor
do
they
want
able
Marriners
and
Pilots
for
that
work
,
who
have
sailed
over
all
the
secret
parts
of
the
Sea
.
But
how
fat
and
rich
the
ground
is
,
and
how
fruitfull
the
fields
are
and
what
great
heards
there
are
of
Cattle
and
sheep
,
hardly
any
man
will
believe
but
he
that
sees
it
;
as
also
the
most
plentifull
pasture
land
to
fat
cattle
with
,
not
onely
within
the
hills
and
ramparts
,
but
also
without
near
the
Sea-shores
,
in
the
very
creeks
of
the
Ocean
,
where
there
wander
up
and
down
some
millions
of
cattle
that
are
a
great
profit
for
Merchants
,
and
vast
gain
;
and
they
are
not
onely
greater
than
ordinary
,
but
very
dainty
meat
,
by
reason
of
the
ground
and
grasse
,
which
affords
them
such
wholesome
fodders
,
that
strangers
are
exceedingly
taken
therewith
;
so
that
Pettifoggers
,
that
is
such
as
are
given
to
follow
controversies
,
Cornelius
Tacitus
,
that
this
Sea-country
was
not
unknown
to
the
Antients
;
but
not
known
by
the
name
it
is
now
called
,
but
by
the
common
custome
and
usual
manner
of
the
people
speaking
one
to
another
,
whereby
they
called
them
Mates
.
For
,
saith
he
;
There
is
under
the
same
subjection
the
Nation
of
the
Mates
,
like
to
the
Hollanders
,
So
all
those
that
go
in
companies
,
or
that
buy
and
fell
together
,
and
as
many
as
make
an
agreement
or
compact
,
and
with
full
consent
of
mind
bring
their
goods
into
a
common
stock
,
in
hopes
of
gain
,
by
a
custome
amongst
Sea-men
,
of
which
there
is
great
plenty
in
these
Countries
,
are
in
their
native
language
called
Mates
,
that
is
,
Ambachs
Heeren
.
For
the
Low-country
people
thereby
mean
some
great
men
,
who
have
the
whole
power
in
their
hands
,
and
rule
within
such
a
Colony
,
or
territory
,
or
Jurisdiction
.
The
name
Zeland
is
but
new
,
and
was
not
known
to
the
Antients
,
it
is
derived
from
Sea
and
land
,
as
if
you
would
say
Land
by
the
Sea
:
for
it
is
compassed
round
with
the
Sea
,
and
parted
into
many
Islands
,
een
Flessche
,
the
picture
whereof
is
born
upon
the
Flags
and
banners
of
the
city
,
een
Flessche
.
and
upon
the
top
masts
of
ships
.
But
because
the
Inhabitants
of
this
place
drink
sweetly
,
and
the
women
will
do
the
like
,
and
are
sometimes
stronger
than
men
at
this
sport
,
from
the
embracing
of
a
flagon
that
they
so
much
delight
in
,
and
take
such
pleasure
to
drink
it
off
,
they
got
this
name
,
or
they
took
the
name
themselves
,
from
their
custome
of
drinking
;
and
it
is
old
with
them
to
do
so
,
not
to
make
themselves
drunk
,
but
to
drive
away
all
clouds
of
their
minds
,
and
to
make
themselves
merry
.
For
there
are
in
this
country
many
touchy
,
sad
,
hawty
,
melancholique
people
,
who
are
different
from
the
affects
of
Brabanders
,
and
Flemings
,
who
are
not
guided
by
the
sad
Planets
of
Saturn
or
Mars
,
Haemstede
,
Moermonde
,
near
to
Renissa
,
and
Broversaria
,
besides
no
ignoble
Town
.
The
City
Zirizea
,
—
They
are
so
wise
to
tell
,
What
's
sound
,
and
faigned
words
they
know
full
well
,
As
some
use
to
do
who
speak
one
thing
and
mean
another
.
From
this
skill
of
judging
of
counterfeits
,
some
common
quibs
and
taunting
proverbs
have
risen
amongst
the
Hollanders
,
de
Honte
,
from
its
barking
and
noise
it
makes
,
where
the
passage
lyeth
open
by
South
-
Vealand
and
Wallachria
into
the
Western
Sea
,
and
again
a
passage
into
these
parts
;
but
on
the
right
hand
leaving
the
Coasts
of
Brabant
,
by
a
continued
course
,
and
keeping
the
old
Channel
,
by
the
shores
of
the
Island
Scheld
,
French
L'
Escault
,
whence
this
Island
is
called
Scheld
,
commonly
Schowe
,
of
which
River
the
chief
and
main
passage
and
deepest
place
Marriners
usually
call
the
Channel
,
that
the
Ships
must
sail
in
,
that
they
stick
not
upon
fords
and
stay
in
shallow
places
.

But
the

contrary
to

,
swims
to

,
and
having
tasted
that
grows
wonderfull
nimble
,
and
not
so
slippery
,
and
more
wholesome
for
meat
:
whence
it
is
,
that
about
the
flood-gates
for
the
fallings
of
the

,
(
we
call
them

he
being
greedy
to
Extend
his
Dominions
,
he
was
minded
to
take
possession
of
some
Islands
in

;
wherefore
first
he
thought
to
conquer
Walachria
and
to
make
it
tributary
,
and
bringing
an
Army
into
this
Country
,
(
for
the
passage
over
is
very
easie
,
)
he
wasted
it
all
with
Fire
and
Sword
and
Plunder
,
then
he
beseiged

,

,
William

honour'd

Guido
Dampetra
Prince
of
Flanders
,
and
with
him
innumerable
Lords
of
the
Court
;
their
Ensignes
were
taken
from
them
,
Skins

Tents

spoils

and
many
rich
booties
and
gallant
things
were
recovered
from
them

and
with
the
Prince

Captives
were
brought
into
the
City

Abraham

Moses

David
,
Ezechias

Judith

and
many
more
did
,
and
by
these
helps
they
wonn
the

But
since
the
Scheld
,
and
Zirizea
situate
therein
,
hath
been
often
set
upon
by
strangers
,
and
shaken
with
Warr
,
C.
Caesar
,
besides
other
things
,
from
these
words
(
The
Mase
runs
forth
of
the
mountain
Vosevus
,
and
being
in
one
part
received
by
the
Rhein
,
it
makes
the
Island
of
the
Hollanders
,
and
not
far
from
it
,
within
a
mile
it
falls
into
the
Ocean
)
that
the
place
called
Zeland
,
is
joyning
and
next
to
Holland
,
and
is
an
Appendix
,
But
the
Rhein
runs
forth
from
that
part
of
the
Alps
where
the
Lepontii
dwell
,
and
is
carried
swiftly
a
long
way
,
and
when
it
comes
near
to
the
Sea
,
it
breaks
into
many
parts
and
making
many
great
Islands
,
it
runs
into
the
Sea
,
the
greatest
part
whereof
is
inhabited
by
wild
and
barbarous
people
,
who
are
supposed
to
live
on
fish
and
Birds
Eggs
,
from
which
the
Rhein
with
many
heads
falls
into
the
Sea
.
In
which
words
he
seems
to
me
to
describe
exactly
the
Hollanders
that
are
nearest
to
the
North-Sea
,
as
also
the
Mates
or
Zelanders
that
are
joyned
near
unto
them
;
the
Islands
of
them
,
and
of
those
in
West
-
Holland
,
who
are
in
the
same
nature
,
and
the
same
condition
with
them
,
he
describes
a
little
after
in
these
words
:
Part
ran
into
the
woods
,
some
into
the
Lakes
hard
by
;
they
that
were
next
the
Sea
,
they
hid
themselves
in
Islands
,
which
are
usually
made
by
the
inundation
of
the
Sea
;
and
these
really
are
no
other
but
the
Islands
of
Zeland
,
for
all
the
Islands
round
as
many
as
are
in
the
Belgick
Sea
,
are
made
thus
,
and
heaped
together
,
so
that
they
are
first
by
Nature
,
and
then
they
are
fenced
by
art
,
and
by
degrees
by
cultivation
and
by
mans
industry
they
are
made
fruitful
fields
for
grasse
,
and
for
arable
also
.
But
there
is
such
a
change
of
things
amongst
us
,
that
in
few
years
this
country
is
much
enlarged
,
and
in
few
years
it
may
be
as
much
diminished
and
run
to
losse
;
nor
doth
any
thing
better
shew
the
vicissitudes
and
inconstancy
of
humane
affairs
,
than
the
Islands
of
Zeland
,
whose
prosperity
,
and
good
successe
by
the
Inundations
of
the
Sea
,
Brabant
sche
Lucht
,
Zeeusche
renten
.
For
in
our
,
and
our
Grandfathers
memory
,
above
a
100000.
Acres
that
were
an
Island
,
and
were
fenced
in
with
mounds
,
all
these
mighty
fences
bing
broken
down
and
scattered
,
by
the
inundation
of
the
Sea
,
are
swallowed
up
in
it
,
not
without
a
great
destruction
of
the
Inhabitants
.
Again
the
Inhabitants
making
new
Islands
as
they
often
do
,
when
grassy
fields
present
themselves
,
and
they
diligently
employ
themselves
in
husbandry
,
and
manuring
and
sowing
the
ground
;
so
that
in
a
few
years
,
they
abound
with
all
things
,
so
much
that
one
would
hardly
believe
it
.
Yet
those
in
Zeland
that
are
alwaies
exposed
to
the
violence
of
the
Sea
,
have
nothing
firm
and
constant
,
and
on
which
they
may
safely
relye
,
for
the
havens
where
ships
rode
formerly
in
safety
,
are
now
become
shallow
fords
,
and
are
so
full
of
Sand
or
mud
,
that
the
least
ships
cannot
come
into
them
;
Again
,
Norway
,
Denmark
,
Rivalia
,
Riga
,
Gedan
,
commonly
Danic
,
Stockholm
,
now
famous
by
the
illustrious
King
Ericus
King
of
Sweden
;
which
navigation
,
as
the
vicissitudes
of
humane
affairs
are
,
is
now
translated
to
Amsterdam
.
Yet
the
City
of
Zirizea
,
abounds
exceedingly
well
with
all
things
which
are
usefull
and
commodious
for
mans
life
,
and
no
lesse
than
when
it
was
famous
,
for
negotiations
with
strangers
,
and
frequented
with
goers
and
commers
,
of
all
sides
:
For
the
concourse
and
merchandise
of
forraigners
,
and
celebrity
of
a
place
may
sometimes
be
lost
suddenly
,
either
by
the
rising
of
some
war
from
without
,
or
seditions
at
home
,
or
popular
tumults
,
;
for
presently
all
strangers
withdraw
themselves
,
and
take
care
for
their
own
safety
.
But
that
negotiation
that
is
performed
amongst
the
Citizens
and
Inhabitants
,
shutting
out
all
usury
and
traffique
,
in
a
compendious
way
made
with
strangers
or
the
Inhabitants
,
and
is
a
liberal
gain
,
is
stable
,
firm
,
solid
,
and
not
so
much
subject
to
envy
.
But
if
calamity
come
from
some
other
place
,
then
the
Citizens
and
natives
,
But
that
strangers
may
understand
in
what
part
of
the
earth
and
under
what
climate
the
City
Zirizea
is
,
and
under
what
elevation
of
the
Pole
:
I
took
the
height
of

Zirizea's

,
and
I
found
the
elevation
to

:
whence
it
comes
,
that
since
the
Sun
is
not
far
from
them
,
and
departs
not
very
far
from
the
Island
,
but
doth
moderately
shine
upon
them
in
the
two
Equinoctials
and
two
Solstices
:
the
Inhabitants
by
the
benefit
of
the
Sun
,
have
no
dull
and
stupid
wits
,
but
they
are
witty
,
civill
,
merry
,
yet
many
of
them
by
the
reason
of
the
Sea
that
hath
its
influence
upon
them
,
will
speak
very
scurrilous
,
crabbed
and
brinish
language
,
sometimes
:
of
which
subject
I
lately
held
a
pleasant
discourse
,
with
Job
Nicolais
,
a
discreet
man
,
and
industrious
,
who
carefully
labours
for
the
publick
good
,
and
doth
what
he
can
to
promote
it
,
and
desireth
that
the
Citizens
should
be
men
of
sound
and
good
manners
;
and
if
they
have
contracted
any
fault
by
the
Salt
vapours
of
the
Sea
that
are
so
near
to
them
,
that
it
might
be
mended
with
good
education

How
comes
it
that
such
as
are
old
men
or
far
in
years
,
do
beget
children
not
so
strong
,
and
oft
times
such
as
are
froward
,
and
of
a
sad
and
sowre
Countenance
,

such
as
are

merry

THey
that
marry

their
age
declines
,
and
their
youthly
heat
is
abated

for
the
most
part
beget
sorrowfull
children

and
such
as
are
froward
,
sad
,
not
amiable
,
silent
,
and
of
a
sowre
and
frowning
countenance
:
Ask
,
saith
he
,
thy
Mother
,
and
she
will
tell
thee
,
why
those
she
bears
now
,
are
not
like
those
she
bore
before
thee
,
but
are
lesse
in
stature
:
and
she
will
say
unto
thee
,
that
the
rest
were
conceived
and
born
when
she
was
young
,
but
these
when
the
Womb
decayed
:
hence
it
is
that
such
as
are
born
in
old
age
,
are
slender
,
small
,
weak
,
For
sometimes
old
people
wil
shew
themselves
young
and
lascivious
together

to
be
so
wel
pleased

that
in
the

it

than
in
this
place

Of
a
neutrall
body
,
that
is
one
that
can
be
said
neither
sound
nor
sick
,
but
is
of
a
tottering
and
doubtfull
condition
floting
between
both

IT
is
confessed
that
the
art
of
Physick
was
formerly
divided
into
three
parts
.
The
first
is
that
preserves
the
present
health
,
and
carefully
keeps
off
all
inconveniences
of
sicknesse
;
The
second
that
which
containes
the
reason
,
whereby
the
body
may
be
fenced
and
defended
,
that
it
shall
not
easily
fall
into
sicknesse
;
The
last
,
that
which
cures
the
body
of
such
diseases
that
it
is
fallen
into
:
There
are
also
thee
conditions
in
mans
body
;

as
to
a
Traveller
that
is
got
out
of
Theives
hands
,
he
yet
pants
and
trembles
,
and
is
not
wholly
restored
from
the
great
fear
and
danger
of
his
life
he
was
in
,
nor
yet
fully
come
to
himselfe
;
(
which
our
Saviour
Christ
,
expressed
by
an
elegant
similitude
)
but
being
refreshed
by
his
freinds
to
comfort
him
,
he
begins
to
revive
by
degrees
,
and
to
cast
away
fear
:
so
a
sick
man
,
though
when
his
disease
is
gone
,
he
begins
to
go
abroad
,
and
find
all
things
better
with
him
,
yet
some
footsteps
of
the
disease
stay
yet
in
his
body
,
nor
are
all
the
accidents
that
use
to
accompany
it
,
quite
taken
away
and
extinct
.
Another
constitution
neere
to
this
,
yet
something
worse
than
this
,
is
,
whereby
in
outward
appearance
,
a
man
seems
to
be
well
,
and
not
sick
at
all
,
but
yet
his
body
is
full
of
vitious
naughty
humours
.
In
like
manner
we
may
reason
of
sleep
and
meat
,
for
they
sit
down
at
Table
,
and
eat
to
live
,
but
not
with
that
appetite
and
desire
as
sound
people
do
,
whose
best
sawce
is
hunger
:
they
sleep
and
are
refreshed
thereby
,
but
not
so
sweet
deep
long
sleep
,
as
some
men
,
who
tired
with
labour
,
sleep
quietly
all
the
night
.
Persius
describes
,
and
taxeth
severely
such
men
who
are
diseased
,
and
by
a
counterfeit
health
thrust
themselves
amongst
other
mens
companies
,
in
these
verses
.
Within
,
Again
in
another
Satyr
assuming
the
person
of
a
Physitian
,
he
marks
him
,
that
counterfeits
and
dissembles
his
disease
,
and
will
not
be
reckoned
amongst
the
sick
,
but
quarrels
with
the
Physitian
,
and
rejects
his
counsel
,
and
reproacheth
him
for
it
,
and
laughs
at
him
,
as
if
he
were
sick
of
a
worse
disease
.
Go
to
good
Sir
,
Such
men
as
these
are
found
almost
every
where
now
a
dayes
,
who
,
when
diseases
shew
themselves
in
their
faces
,
countenance
,
eyes
and
the
whole
habit
of
their
bodies
,
yet
they
will
not
discover
them
to
skillfull
Physitians
,
but
they
conceal
and
foster
them
to
the
great
detriment
of
their
healths
:
which
when
they
have
taken
deep
root
and
are
fast
,
can
hardly
be
rooted
out
:
wherefore
the
wise
man
gives
to
every
one
wholesome
counsel
,
You
see
some
ask
for
Hellebour
too
late
,
Which
should
be
carefully
told
to
them
who
carelessely
regard
not
to
use
means
when
their
health
begins
to
decline
,
and
neglecting
to
support
it
,
at
last
fall
into
desperate
diseases
.
Wherefore
those
that
are
on
the
brink
of
a
sickly
constitution
,
do
not
presently
recover
,
but
have
a
neutrall
body
,
and
are
neither
sick
nor
well
,
but
in
the
middle
between
health
and
sicknesse
,
and
therefore
they
must
carefully
regard
their
health
:
for
it
is
easy
for
them
to
be
worse
.
But
what
I
say
of
a
neutral
body
,
besides
other
things
,
may
also
be
referred
to
the
condition
of
the
Ayre
and
the
sky
:
for
sometimes
the
Ayre
is
healthfull
,
pestilentiall
,
mean
:
and
the
sky
is
sometimes
clear
,
sometimes
cloudy
,
sometimes
tolerable
between
both
;
which
also
may
be
seen
in
the
winds
and
waves
of
the
Sea
;
and
in
mens
affections
,
and
motions
of
their
minds
the
like
may
be
observed
.
For
they
are
moderate
,
vehement
,
turbulent
,
moved
,
mean
,
remisse
,
quiet
.
So
that
things
are
not
alwaies
at
the
same
passe
,
nor
do
they
run
the
same
course
.

Of
the
reason
of
seeing
and
quicknesse
of
the
eyes
,
and
why
some
will
see
clearly
things
a
great
way
off
,
and
yet
are
blind
close
by
;
others
will
see
the
smallest
things
near
them
exactly
,
but
things
afar
off
,
though
they
be
high
mountains
,
they
cannot
discern
easily
;
and
why
commonly
the
right
eye
is
duller
than
the
left
,
and
sees
not
so
clear
.
By
the
way
concerning
the
colours
of
the
eyes

the
many
and
great
gifts
of
Nature
,
and

ample
endowments
,
He
can
direct
a
verse
as
fine
,
But
that
some
men
see
two
things
for
one
,
is
caused
by
the
distraction
of
their
eyes
into
divers
parts
.
a

you
cannot

trust

that
he
doth
all
his
actions
with
fraud
,
deceit
,
fallacy
,
catching
,
deceits
,
impostures
,
and
dissembling

,
to
do
other
men
mischief
,
and
himself
profit

All
those
men
partake
of
this
nature
and
condition
,
who
in
the
principal
and
chief
part
of
their
bodies
have
any
remarkable
sign
,

on

The
Reason
why
some
are
born
without
some
parts
,
and
want
some
Limbs
;
others
have
some
parts
double
and
superfluous
,
and
serving
for
no
use
.
For
the
force
of
imagination
is
so
strong
,
that
if
a
woman
once
fasten
her
eyes
and
thoughts
upon
any
object
,
all
the
faculties
of
nature
,
and
that
force
that
serves
to
form
the
Child
,
the
humours
running
from
all
parts
,
which
are
at
her
command
,
fall
down
thither
,
and
imagination
is
wholly
intent
to
do
the
businesse
;
hence
it
is
that
somtimes
she
frames
divers
and
unusuall
shapes
,
double
parts
,
and
superfluous
appendixes
,
and
fastneth
strange
limbs
to
the
body

Of
an
Egg
laid
by
a
Cock
,
and
at
what

he
useth
to
lay
it
,
then
what
is
bred
out
of
it
;
also
concerning
the
Cock-stone
,
and
the
Jewel
Aetites
.
THe
Cock
above
others
that
are
tame
and
house-birds
is
very
couragious
,
The
Basilisk
doth
reign
alone
,
By
his
hissing
he
is
known
,
Besides
himself
will
suffer
none
,
Admits
no
venome
but
his
own
;
Hurts
at
a
distance
—
Whereby
he
shews
that
he
doth
mischief
by
seeing
any
man
,
and
kills
by
his
venom'd
breath
,
before
the
poyson
comes
to
touch
the
body
.
Yet
I
believe
it
is
an
old
wives
tale
,
which
the
vulgar
thinks
to
be
real
truth
,
that
in
our
country
so
pernicious
and
hurtfull
a
creature
can
be
bred
by
the
hatching
of
a
Toad
,
and
that
sometimes
in
Caves
and
dens
under
the
ground
,
Basilisks
lye
that
kill
men
if
they
chance
to
come
into
those
places
,
whereas
i●●●
the
venemous
vapours
that
stink
,
and
arise
from
foul
nasty
p●●ces
,
that
stop
mens
breath
and
kill
them
,
and
no
man
need
to
doubt
but
that
sometimes
poysonous
creatures
that
lurk
in
those
places
do
destroy
men
.
Under
old
Hedges
,
I
think
that
Germany
hath
this
and
many
more
kinds
of
Serpents
,
and
some
kind
of
Basilisks
,
They
conceived
wickednesse
,
and
brought
forth
iniquity
,
they
have
hatched
the
Cockatrice
Eggs
,
and
spun
the
spiders
web
,
he
that
eats
of
their
Eggs
shall
dye
,
and
that
which
is
fostered
shall
break
forth
into
a
Basilisk
.
Look
not
saith
he
on
the
Wine
when
it
looks
red
,
and
when
the
colour
of
it
shines
in
the
Glasse
;
it
goes
down
pleasantly
,
but
in
the
end
it
will
bite
like
an
Adder
,
and
as
a
Basilisk
will
it
send
its
Poyson
forth
.
And
as
a
Woolf
takes
away
the
voice
of
those
he
meets
,
Goudt
bloemen
.
But
since
the
monstrous
birth
of
the
Cock
,
from
whose
Egg
the
common
people
think
a
Basilisk
is
bred
,
doth
not
a
little
fright
and
amaze
all
men
,
so
the
Cock-stone
called
Alectorius
,
is
desired
by
all
,
and
all
men
are
in
love
with
it
;
For
if
this
be
worn
about
us
,
Which
must
seem
absurd
to
no
man
,
since
the
Matrix
hath
an
exquisite
sense
of
feeling
,
But
if
the
Matrix
send
downwards
,
and
fall
low
,
stinking
things
must
be
bound
to
the
nether
parts
,
and
sweet
things
to
the
upper
parts
;
which
by
their
pleasing
vapours
may
recreate
the
spirits
decayed
.
But
if
these
things
be
used
otherwise
,
and
preposterously
;
it
falls
out
that
the
disease
is
exasperated
,
and
women
are
grievously
affected
,
if
they
do
not
copulate
with
men
,
so
that
besides
the
great
pains
they
endure
,
they
faint
and
swound
away
.

Of
the
nature
,
condition
and
manners
of
women
;
and
why
that
sex
being
angry
is
more
violent
than
men
are
,
and
will
scold
more
outragiously
,
and
is
overborn
by
many
other
affections
and
passions
;
and
,
by
the
way
,
what
is
the
meaning
of
that
saying
of
the
wise
Hebrew
,
The
iniquity
of
a
man
is
better
than
a
woman
that
doth
well
.
THe
wickednesse
of
some
women
is
the
cause
that
not
onely
Stage-Players
,
To
this
,
belongs
the
speech
of
Metellus
of
Numidia
,
which
the
Romans
commended
,
Give
me
any
Plague
,
but
the
Plague
of
the
heart
,
and
any
wickednesse
,
but
the
wickednesse
of
a
woman
:
there
is
no
head
above
the
head
of
a
Serpent
,
no
anger
exceeds
the
anger
of
a
woman
,
I
had
rather
dwell
with
a
Lyon
and
a
dragon
,
than
to
keep
house
with
a
wicked
woman
.
But
since
a
woman
came
forth
and
was
made
out
of
man
,
a
pleasing
,
gentle
,
tame
,
meek
,
tender
,
smooth
,
beardlesse
,
soft
skinned
creature
,
and
that
desires
to
be
handled
by
man
,
and
to
be
subject
to
him
,
Delights
to
play
with
fellows
,
For
a
womans
mind
is
not
so
strong
as
a
mans
,
nor
is
she
so
full
of
understanding
and
reason
and
judgement
,
and
upon
every
small
occasion
she
casts
off
the
bridle
of
reason
,
They

not
right
nor

nor
just

What
may
help
or
hurt
them
,
their
lust
Doth
govern
all
.
So
forgetting
themselves
,
they
despise
their
faith
,
honour
,
chastity
,
fame
,
honesty
,
reputation
,
and
hazard
all
.
To
which
may
be
applyed
that
enquiry
of
Solomon
concerning
mans
condition
,
I
applyed
my
heart
to
know
,
and
to
search
,
and
to
seek
out
wisdome
,
and
the
reason
of
things
,
and
to
know
the
wickednesse
of
folly
,
and
of
foolishnesse
,
and
madnesse
:
and
I
find
more
bitter
than
death
the
woman
,
whose
heart
is
snares
and
nets
,
and
her
hands
as
bands
.
I
have
laboured
to
this
hour
to
find
a
good
and
cordiall
woman
,
and
could
find
none
:
one
man
amongst
a
thousand
have
I
found
,
but
a
woman
amongst
all
those
have
I
not
found
.
Het
quaeste
van
Een
:
man
is
better
dan
het
beste
van
een
vrouwe
,
that
is
,
If
any
thing
be
done
and
brought
to
perfection
by
a
woman
,
it
deserves
lesse
praise
than
what
is
but
yet
rude
and
imperfect
,
begun
by
a
man
;
namely
,
by
reason
of
a
woman's
want
of
mind
and
counsell
,
her
dullnesse
and
blockishnesse
,
for
want
of
naturall
heat
,
and
because
their
languishing
mind
is
soked
into
great
moysture
,
so
that
the
faculties
of
their
souls
come
forth
more
slowly
,
and
are
not
so
fit
for
action
,
and
to
do
noble
things
.
but
the
Woman
is
the
glory
of
the
Man
:
for
the
man
is
not
from
the
Woman
,
but
the
Woman
is
from
the
Man
.
For
man
was
not
created
for
Woman
,
but
Woman
for
Man
,
yet
the
Man
is
not
witout
the
Woman
,
nor
the
Woman
without
the
Man
in
the
Lord
,
who
so
orders
all
things
,
that
the
woman
must
be
in
subjection
to
the
Man
.
For
as
the
Woman
is
from
the
Man
,
so
the
Man
by
the
Woman
begetteth
Children
:
So
that
there
is
a
society
for
help
that
is
seen
on
both
sides
,
So
want
of
knowing
truth
doth
fools
delude
,
So
errour
involvs
a
man
as
well
as
it
doth
a
woman
,
and
wickednesse
lays
hold
of
them
both
,
but
the
woman
is
more
detestable
and
execrable
for
her
wickednesse
.
Therefore
the
wickednesse
of
a
man
is
better
than
a
woman
doing
good
,
and
as
the
Dutch
proverb
runs
,
De
deucht
van
Een
vrouwe
is
Ergher
dan
Een
Mans
boosheyt
.
By
which
proverb
they
aggravate
the
malice
of
that
sex
,
that
if
you
should
compare
vices
with
vices
,
and
examine
the
frauds
,
impostures
,
fallacies
and
devices
of
them
both
,
those
that
are
committed
by
women
are
farr
more
pernicious
and
heavy
,
than
such
as
are
acted
by
men
.

Observed
in
Gallia
Belgica

the
Plague
was
spreading
there
,
and
other
epidemical
diseases
,
that
many
remain'd
safe

took
no

by
using
some
antidotes

of

kind
are
Theriac

The
best
help
was
for
to
despair

health

Wherefore
when
I
was
called
to
them
,
I
gave
them
the
choicest
remedies
and
that
in
a
double
dose
,
that
,
as
the
Proverb
is

I
might
use
a
hard
wedge

knot

and
first
strengthning
the
heart
,
I
drave
forth
all
the
venome
to
the
outward
parts
,
never
attempting
to
open
a
vein
in
those
diseases

consists

the

if
there
be
in
the

any
superfluity

,
(
unlesse
a

be

administred

they
inflame
it

Whence
arise
and
grow
stings
of
Conscience
in
man
,
and
whether
as
passions
and
perturbations
of
the
mind
they
are
to
be
ascribed
to
the
humours
:
or
whether
they
consist
in

COnscience
,
that
is
the
testimony
of
good
and
bad
in
every
mans
mind
,
which
by
a
remembring
of
what
is
done
,
Saul

Judas
,
and
it
raiseth
others
into
hope
and
confidence
of
obtaining
Salvation
,
as
it
did
,
David
,
Peter
,
Magdalen
.
Therefore
a
man
is
affected
with
some
anguish
of
his
mind
and
torture
in
his
soul
,
whensoever
conscience
sets
before
him
the
memory
of
the
wickednesse
he
hath
committed
,
Restore
unto
me
the
joy
of
thy

,
and
uphold
me
with
thy
free
spirit
.
Also
that
expostulation
of
his
with
his
own
Soul
,
or
rather
that
lamentation
:
Why
art
thou
disquieted
oh
my
soul
,
and
why
art
thou
so
troubled
within
me
?
hope
in
God
,
because
I
will
yet
praise
him
.
And
again
,
when
he
had
recovered
peace
of
conscience
,
and
all
sadnesse
was
dispelled
,
he
saith
,
Enter
into
thy
rest
oh
my
Soul
,
because
the
Lord
hath
rewarded
thee
,
thou
hat
given
me
joy
and
gladnesse
of
heart
:
So
then
if
we
have
done
all
things
against
equity
,
and
an
evill
will
drives
a
man
,
contrary
to
right
understanding
,
and
direction
of
the
mind
,
and
rules
of
reason
;
af●erwards
the
remembrance
of
wicked
deeds
will
torture
the
mind
of
any
man
.
Likewise
Iob.
Though
he
kill
me
,
yet
will
I
trust
in
him
.
But
wicked
,
ungodly
,
impious
,
naughty
men
,
though
they
be
guarded
and
encompassed
with
a
great
retinue
,
and
defended
with
abundance
of
wealth
,
having
great
store
of
Lands

Possessions
,
and
want
of
nothing
,
yet
are
they
racked
in
their
minds
,
and
are
afraid
of
all
things
;
Their
Soul
is
pierced
with
the
Conscience
of
their
wicked
deeds
as
with
a
Sword
.
For
when
they
call
to
mind
the
mischief
they
have
done
,
they
presently
tremble
,
wax
pale
,
look
about
,
and
are
afraid
of
the
safest
means
,
as
if
the
furies
of
hell
hurried
them
along

For
there
is
in
every
man
an
imbred
choice
of
things
by
nature
,
Thou
wilt
hear
my
voice
in
the
morning
,
Oh
Lord
,
in
the

will
I
direct
my
prayer
unto
thee
,
and
will
look
;
For
thou
art
not
a

that
hath
pleasure
in

the
Lord
shall
listen
unto
me
in

in

will
I

The

did
so
drive
him

How
many
months
doth
a
Woman
go
with
Child
;
and
which
must
be
accounted
a
seasonable
birth
.
By
the
way
,
of
the
framing
of
the
body
of
man
,
and
in
how
many
dayes
or
months
the
Child
is
made
perfect
,
and
comes
to
live
.
In
which
narration
,
all
things
are
handled
more
accurately
,
because
from
hence
bitter
quarrells
arise
,
not
onely
betwixt
marryed
people
,
but
others
also
that
use
unlawfull
copulalation
.
SInce
there
use
oft
times
great
contentions
and
quarrells
to
arise
amongst
many
people
,
concerning
the
time
that
the
woman
goes
with
Child
,
and
some
complain
that
are
jealous
of
their
Wives
that
they
have
formerly
marryed
to
keep
them
company
,
that
they
have
not
gone
their
full
time
to
be
delivered
,
so
that
somtimes
they
suspect
that
they
have
play'd
the
Whores
,
and
that
some
other
men
have
secretly
made
use
of
their
bodies
:
I
thought
it
not
amisse
to
write
something
to
this
purpose
,
and
the
rather
because
Lawyers
that
end
controversies
,
referr
the
judgment
of
this
matter
to
Physitians

and
leave
the
resolution

A
Child
,
at
seven
months
is
full
of
life
.
But
as
for
what
concernes
the
7th
,
month
,
I
know
many
marryed
people
in
Holland
that
had
Twins
,
who
lived
to
extreame
old
age
,
their
bodies
being
lusty
,
and
their
minds
quick
and
lively
.
Wherefore
their
opinion
is
foolish
and
of
no
moment
,
who
think
that
a
Child
at
seven
months
is
imperfect
,
and
not
so
long
lived
,
and
that
a
Child
cannot
be
borne
perfect
in
all
parts
untill
nine
months
be
past
.
So
of
late
,
there
arose
a
great
conflict
amongst
us
,
Maeselen
ende
Pocken
,
and
other
red
or
wan
Pushes
that
are
contracted
by
the
menstruall
foulnesse
,
and
,
in
the
Spring
or
Summer
,
thrust
themselves
forth
into
the
outward
parts
of
the
body
.
To
this
we
may
add
the
Epilipsie
,
or
Falling-sicknesse
,
the
Dutch
call
it
Vallende
Siecte
,
which
disease
because
it
hath
many
differences
,
the
superstitious
Gentiles
of
old
were
wont
to
referr
it
,
to
certain
Gods
,
before
the
light
of
the
Gospel
was
revealed
to
men
,
whereas
it
proceeds
from
naturall
causes
,
and
chiefly
from
clammy
and
tenacious
flegme
.
Moreover
in
the
mouths
of
young
Children
,
there
breed
almost
so
soon
as
they
are
born
,
some
blisters
about
their
throats
and
Palates

the
Ara●●ans
call
them

CHAP.

A
profitable
and
pleasant
narration
of
the
Procreation
of
Man
,
wherein
is
illustrated
the
other
part
of
the
Argument
.
SInce
many
do
erre
and
are
blind
in
the
knowledge
of
naturall
things
,
and
especially
in
those
things
that
appertain
to
the
structure
of
mans
body
,
and
many
trifling
narrations
are
used
to
be
delivered
concerning
the
fashioning
of
the
Infant
,
and
the
scituation
of
it
,
of
the
time
of
a
womans
going
with
child
,
and
of
the
course
of
the
Moon
;
and
whether
the
seventh
Moneth
may
be
thought
seasonable
for
the
birth
of
a
child
,
and
whether
a
child
then
born
be
long
lived
;
I
think
I
shall
do
well
if
I
shall
attempt
by
the
way
to
explain
the
framing
of
man
,
for
there
is
an
excellent
structure
of
this
divine
workmanship
,
and
there
is
an
elegant
and
curious
frame
of
all
the
parts
that
are
seen
outwardly
,
or
are
inwardly
concealed
,
and
serve
for
mans
use
.
The
first
,
when
presently
after
copulation
and
mutual
embracements
it
hath
the
nature
of
Seed
,
at
which
time
it
is
called
conception
or
geniture
;
because
the
two
Seeds
fermented
together
,
do
grow
up
like
Creme
,
or
the
concretion
of
Milk
;
The
second
time
of
forming
is
constituted
when
Nature
and
the
force
of
the
Womb
by
the
use
of
her
own
imbred
forces
and
vertue
,
makes
a
manifest
change
in
the
Seed
,
so
that
all
the
substance
seems
rather
to
be
neshy
and
sanguine
than
seminal
,
and
this
happens
about
the
12.
or
14.
day
after
the
frame
began
,
and
though
this
concretion
and
fleshy
masse
,
abounds
with
hot
fiery
bloud
,
yet
it
is
rude
and
without
any
form
,
and
there
are
no
lineaments
or
figure
of
the
parts
distinguished
,
for
the
Limbs
have
yet
obtained
no
certain
form
;
whence
it
is
that
we
can
see
no
fashion
or
portraiture
of
a
man
,
but
onely
a
rudiment
and
beginning
of
mans
workmanship
,
The
third
time
to
make
up
this
fabrick
is
set
,
when
those
three
principal
parts
shew
themselves
evidently
and
perspicuously
,
namely
the
Heart
,
from
whence
spring
the
Arteries
;
the
Brain
,
from
whence
,
as
some
threads
from
a
distaff
,
the
Nerves
proceed
;
and
the
Liver
,
from
whence
the
Veins
are
propagated
.
To
frame
these
the
faculty
of
the
Womb
is
busied
from
the
time
of
conception
,
unto
the
18.
day
of
the
first
Moneth
.
But
lastly
,
which
time
reacheth
to
the
28.
or
30.
day
,
the
outward
parts
are
seen
exquisitely
elaborated
and
distinguished
by
their
joynts
;
and
then
the
child
begins
to
grow
and
to
pant
;
from
which
progresse
of
dayes
,
because
all
the
Limbs
are
parted
,
and
the
whole
artifice
is
perfect
,
it
is
no
longer
seen
as
an
imperfect
child
or
Embryo
,
that
is
,
a
concretion
that
springs
forth
,
but
is
held
to
be
a
perfect
and
absolute
child
.
Males
for
the
most
part
are
perfect
by
the
30.
day
,
but
Females
on
the
42.
or
45.
day
.
It
is
by
reason
of
heat
that
Males
are
sooner
perfected
than
Females
,
for
heat
extends
the
humour
like
to
soft
Wax
,
For
a
child
that
is
quick
and
lively
labours
no
lesse
in
this
work
than
the
woman
,
and
strives
to
come
forth
to
draw
in
the
outward
Ayre
.
Yet
there
are
many
that
when
9
Months
are
compleatly
ended
,
Some
are
born
in
the
7th
,
month
,
whose
bodies
are
loose
and
not
not
firme
,
and
that
have
but
weak
naturall
heat
,
Howle
because
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
,
as
desolation
,
the
Hearts
of
men
shal
melt
,
and
their
hands
faint
,
terrours
and
torments
and
griefs
shall
possesse
their
minds
,
and
they
shall
be
troubled
and
cry
out
as
Women
with
Child
.
So
Jeremias
describing
the
Israelites
in
the
height
of
their
sorrows
and
extreame
calamities
;
I
heare
,
saith
he
,
the
noyse
as
of
a
Woman
in
travel
,
the
streights
and
pangs
of
one
that
beares
her
first
Child
,
which
is
wont
to
be
the
most
bitter
,
because
they
are
unaccustomed
to
it
,
and
they
never
felt
the
like
,
nor
were
they
ever
in
Travell
before
.
So
God
is
formidable
to
Kings
,
and
terrible
when
they
lift
up
their
heads
against
him
,
In
the
way
of
thy
judgments
,
O
Lord
,
have
we
waited
for
thee
:
the
desire
of
our
Soul
is
to
thy
name
,
and
to
the
remembrance
of
thee
;
with
my
Soul
have
I
desired
thee
in
the
night
,
yea
with
my
Spirit
within
me
,
I
will
seek
thee
early

the

Though
for
what
belongs
to

the

of

is
more

the

I
suppose
because
they
have
tasted
the
delight
of
love
,
which
sticking
in

,
makes
them
more
greedy

what

there

that

if
any

should

I

it

the

a

excells

For
since
a

Who
chiefly
take
diseases
from
others
;
And
how
it
comes
about
that
children
grow
well
,
when
Physick
is
given
to
the
Nurse
.
SInce
contagious
diseases
infect
all
that
come
in
the
way
of
them
yet
they
infect
no
men
sooner
,
than
such
whose
Natures
are
of
much
affinity
one
with
another
;
as
are
Parents
and
Children
,
Sisters
,
Brothers
,
Cousins
,
who
are
in
danger
,
almost
on
all
hand
,
and
the
disease
spreads
amongst
them
.
And
the
nearer
any
man
is
of
bloud
and
kindred
,
the
sooner
he
catcheth
this
mischief
from
others
,
by
reason
of
Sympathy
,
that
is
,
consanguinity
and
agreement
in
humours
and
spirits
.
But
in
curing
diseases
in
children
,
(
because
that
age
cannot
away
with
Physick
)
I
use
this
stratagem
,
that
I
give
the
Poysick
to
the
Nurses
,
to
drink
,
for
the
force
of
the
Physick
soon
runs
through
the
bloud
that
the
milk
is
made
of
,
comes
into
the
Brests
,
and
the
Milk
receives
the
quality
of
it
:
so
if
it
be
a
purging
medicament
,
it
will
purge
the
child
;
if
it
be
astringent
,
it
will
stop
and
bind
him
.
Likewise
if
they
be
naturally
subject
to
a
Cough
,
or
Asthma
,
I
give
such
things
as
may
dilate
and
cleanse
the
brest
,
as
Hyfop
,
Horehound
,
Orris
root
,
Elecampane
,
Licoris
,
Figs
,
Savory
.
Sometimes
I
command
to
bind
up
in
a
fine
rag
,
such
Medicaments
as
are
proper
for
the
child
,
and
to
give
the
infusion
of
them
,
as
it
is
commonly
called
,
especially
where
that
age
hath
learned
to
drink
,
and
can
put
the
cup
to
the
mouth
;
wherefore
I
study
to
find
an
art
how
to
handle
young
children
,
old
men
,
childing-women
,
and
such
as
lye
in
,
sick
people
,
and
such
as
are
in
labour
with
child
,
as
the
condition
of
every
body
requires
,
and
the
nature
of
the
disease
,
having
allwaies
in
my
mind
that
saying
of
Hippocrates
,
we
must
yeeld
much
to
age
,
to
the
climate
,
By
these
reasons
and
examples
I
use
to
stop
the
mouthes
of
some
young
smatterers
in
learning
,
who
will
let
no
Physick
be
given
to
Children
,
old
men
,
child-bearing
women
,
and
to
such
as
are
weak
by
travel
in
child-birth
,
of
which
there
are
none
but
must
be
strengthened
with
the
greatest
care
,
and
a
very
convenient
diet
,
and
,
by
a
wholesome
use
of
Physick
,
that
can
do
no
hurt
,
be
brought
to
their
former
health
.
So
I
doubt
not
within
three
dayes
after
they
are
delivered
,
to
open
a
vein
to
women
in
child-bed
,
if
they
have
the
Quinsey
or
a
Pleuresy
,
and
by
giving
them
a
pectoral
potion
,
to
ripen
the
flegme
.
Also
about
Women
with
child
,
if
at
any
time
they
are
infected
with
an
acute
disease
,
great
consideration
must
be
had
,
least
the
woman
or
the
child
should
be
endangered
.
If
there
be
necessity
to
open
a
vein
or
purge
,
Moreover
in
these
tender
bodies
the
forces
must
be
carefully
maintained
,
and
the
disease
must
be
vanquished
.
For
it
is
ill
Physick
where
nature
suffers
any
losse
.
Wherefore
let
the
Physitian
either
do
good
,
or
else
let
him
do
no
harm
,
but
let
him
study
by
Art
to
profit
all
he
can
;
and
this
he
shall
well
do
,
if
he
do
all
by
right
reason
,
and
rules
of
Art
.

Of
the
skin
or
feather
covering
of
the
Vulture
,
that
is
of
great
force
in
strengthening
the
Ventricle
,
and
in
getting
of
a
stomach
,
something
more
effectual
than
Ginger
,
whose
nature
is
here
set
down
also
,
that
every
man
hath
not
observed
.
SInce
there
are
many
things
that
laid
on
outwardly
will
strengthen
the
stomach
,
and
help
concoction
,
nothing
is
better
or
more
present
than
a
Vultures
skin
pulled
off
,
But
that
skin
applyed
the
contrary
way
,
with
the
feathers
pointing
upwards
,
and
looking
aloft
,
will
stay
vomiting
,
the
Muscles
of
the
stomach
being
drawn
downwards
,
whereby
it
takes
in
,
and
holds
the
meat
.
And
in
these
kind
of
diseases
wherewith
the
upper
or
nether
parts
use
to
be
affected
,
I
practise
something
not
unlike
to
this
.
For
in
vomiting
I
bid
that
the
mouth
of
the
Stomach
shall
be
annointed
,
stroking
the
hand
downwards
toward
the
Navel
;
but
when
there
is
a
flux
of
the
belly
,
to
stroke
it
with
the
hand
upward
from
the
feet
:
and
I
use
to
do
the
like
if
the
woman
be
subject
to
the
fits
of
the
Mother
.
So
,
as
they
call
it
,
in
the
strangling
of
the
Womb
,
whereby
a
woman
seems
to
be
choaked
,
the
vapours
flying
upwards
,
I
either
command
to
open
a
Vein
about
her
Ankles
,
or
cupping
glasses
to
be
fastened
to
her
Hips
,
and
I
am
carefull
that
all
things
may
be
carryed
downwards
,
either
by
casting
in
a
Clyster
,
or
by
putting
up
suppositories
into
the
Fundament
,
as
they
ordinarily
call
them
.
But
in
the
falling
out
of
the
Womb
,
where
all
things
are
carried
downwards
,
as
if
the
frame
of
the
body
were
dissolved
,
I
bid
bind
the
upper
parts
with
Ligaments
,
set
Cupping
glasses
to
the
Breasts
,
or
to
open
a
Vein
in
the
Arms
to
make
revulsion
the
contrary
way
.
Also
in
the
affects
now
mentioned
things
may
be
given
inwardly
,
according
as
the
disease
requires
.
So
for
a
flaggy
nauseating
stomach
,
or
where
one
cannot
well
eat
his
meat
,
or
,
when
he
hath
eaten
,
can
hardly
digest
it
,
besides
good
strong
heating
Wines
,
as
Sack
,
and
Wine
of
Crete
,
the
succulent
root
of
Ginger
,
candyed
with
Sugar
,
the
Dutch
call
it
Groen
Gingiber
gheconfyt
,
To
others
who
by
drinking
too
much
Ale
or
Beer
,
have
a
pain
or
heavinesse
in
their
stomach
,
and
break
wind
upwards
often
,
I
bid
them
eat
some
pieces
of
it
with
a
little
salt
,
for
it
can
scarse
be
said
how
much
this
will
break
wind
,
and
ease
the
pains
.
This
root
indeed
at
first
taste
,
burns
and
bites
the
tongue
,
but
it
causeth
no
thirst
,
The
end
of
the
secret
Miracles
of
Nature
