stinking and suddain mutations therein are not to be made the cold is to be altered with fire hangings or stoves the hot by cold water roses strewed water-lillies nettles willows and leaves of trees the moist by fire and aromatick fumes the dry by irrigation of waters and moistning herbs the pestilent with the fume of aromatick wood and frankincense those that are idle are to walk in the open aire and fields in the morning about mountains and fountaines and rivers in the evening Then as for Meat it is to be temperate and familiar acceptable and usuall sc the flesh of animals and fishes with bread well baked also simple or various yet not of a diverse substance or qualities at the same time that it may be concocted at the same time with the same heat and not being taken in too great a quantity and it 's convenient firm flesh thin blood sweet phlegme bitter gall and sourish melancholy being to be preserved but they must be well prepared orderly taken and no errour committed in quantity time order and manner of eating it 's necessary in sicknesse also if compound of which more particularly after And as for the Quantity of meat it is either full increasing flesh spirits and humours and is fit for those that are young growing strong lusty and able to endure much exercise or moderate repairing flesh spirits and humours lost and is fittest for persons of a midle health of an estate of body neither perfectly strong nor very weak or else thin lessening flesh spirits and humours for a time to preserve life and the strictest especially is to be used only where there are violent diseases caused by fulnesse or corruption where the sicknesse is abated by the substraction of sufficient food Also a man in health must never eat to satisfy but rise with a quick appetite If drowsy weary and heavy after eating being before nimble cheereful it 's a signe that accustomed measure is exceeded and that the quantity must be diminished till such inconveniences cease If after meals there be unfitnesse for the actions of the mind as study contemplation and other functions of the mind and body then the due proportion is exceeded If there be too much repletion there must be evacuation and that is known by pain and heavinesse of the head long and troubled sleeps troublesome dreams sleep in the day-time after meals lazinesse wearinesse pain in the whole body or any part thereof want of appetite crudities in the stomach sower belching binding of the belly frequent distillations stopping of the nose after supper with little excrement evacuated and much in the morning much spitting unusual abundance of wind and loosenesse If a change be to be made it must be by degrees till come to a proportion not offending the functions of the body or mind and several sorts of meat are to be shunned at the same time some being concocted sooner others more slowly and so there is an evil concoction The Quality of meats also is to be regarded there being like food like flesh like meat like nourishment And the temperate are best for all sorts of persons especially for those well tempered as flesh and bread of good juyce The quality is to be heeded it altering the constitution of the body That is to be used which is most agreeable to every ones particular nature age temperature distemperature and complexion Young hot strong and labouring men may eat hard grosse meats as beife bacon poudered flesh and fish hard cheese hard eggs and rye-bread c. which may be concocted by degrees and nourish slowly the lighter meats as veal lamb capons chickens partridges pheasants or plovers c. in them being too soon digested and turned into choller and milk is best for children tender flesh for such as grow and liquid meats for such as are sick of sharp diseases If the body be bound the diet must be moist and of boiled meats but dry if moist Sweet meats are bad for young children and men and for hot stomachs but help those that are old and cold The bitter engender choller burn blood and give no general nourishment to the whole Sharp spices hurt tender bodies but the strong may eat them with grosse meats Soure meats with sharp as citrons limons oranges and vineger hurt cold stomachs and sinewy parts but if cold and astringent as sorrel quinces services and medlars they help the stomach eaten last except subject to fluxes Those over-salted help those only that toile and labour causing inflammations and obstructions c. the Fatty are good only for cold and dry stomachs All meats are to be given very hot to cold raw stomacks They are to be contrary to the disease when sick that which is naturally or accidentaly loathed is not to be eaten greedily when hungry being turned into wind belchings vimitings and gripings A strong and good stomach may taste of all things but not feed on them as nourishments The Time of eating depends upon custome but that houre may be omitted if the appetite be not quick yet it 's most convenient to eat twice in the day The supper in some that are healthy and in the flower of youth ought to be equal or larger than the dinner but in others more sparing and the most seasonable hour of dining is about 2. or 3. houres before noon and it 's most wholsome as for break fasts in close places and times of sicknesse they are very necessary otherwise it 's best to fast till dinner where the air is clear and wholsome except growing or chollerick the meals are to be often for children and much little and often for old men labourers very often sc 4. or 5. times in a day if working hard and the time quantity and frequency may be altered by custom sicknesse and appetite c. The Order of aliments is this that thin meats liquid easy of concoction loosening and easily descending are to be first taken and the contrary last At the beginning of the meal some broth flesh or some what else actually hot is to be taken not drinking first but drink with meat is necessary without fluctuation the most nourishing meat is to be eaten first and the cold last if the stomach be hot the breakfast may be of liquid meats the dinner of moist and boiled and the supper chiefely of rosted meats As for
