For a farther knowlege wittethe well that after Auicē there be .iiij. humours in mās body blud fleme coler and melancoly as is sayde The best of them is blud fyrst by reason hit is the mattier of mans spiritis in whom consistethe mans lyfe and operations Secondly bicause hit is comfortable to the principles of lyfe hit is temperatlye hotte and moyste Thyrdly bicause hit restoreth and nourisheth the body more than the other humours and it is called the treasure of nature for if hit be loste dethe foloweth forth with Nexte to bludde in goodnes is fleme Fyrst by reason that if nede be hit is apte to be tourned in to bludde Secondly bicause hit is very nere like humidite whiche is as fūdatiō of lyfe After fleme in goodnes is coler whiche is partner with natural hete so longe as it kepeth conuenient measure Than foloweth melancoly as dregges and durte remoued aparte from the principles of lyfe ennemy to ioye and liberalite and of nere kynred to age and dethe Secondly note that in the diuision of humours there is .ij. kyndes of blud that is to say naturall vnnaturall Naturall blud is ruddye that is to saye veyne bludde ruddye and obscure and arterie bludde ruddye and clere without yll sauour and in comparison of other humours is very swete Unnaturall is double the one is vnnaturall in qualite that is to say whiche is chāged from good cōplexion in it selfe orels by mynglȳge of an other humour There is an other vnnaturall bludde whiche throughe mynglynge of other humours is yll bothe in qualite substance quantite and in proportion of the one to the other And this is double for the one is nat naturall by mynglyng of an yll humour that cometh to hym from without The other is vnnaturall by mynglynge of an yll humour engendred in the selfe blud as whan parte of the blud is putrified and the subtile parte therof is tourned in to coler and the grosse part in to melancoly orels that coler or that melācoly orels both remayneth in the blud And this vnnaturall bloud by mynglynge of an yll humour varieth from naturall bludde many wayes Fyrst in substance for hit is grosser and fouler sith melācoly is myngled therwith orels hit is more subtile whan wattrishenes or citrine coler is myngled therwith Secondlye in colour for some tyme whan fleme is myngled therwith hit enclineth to whitenes or through melancolye to blackenes Thirdly in sauour for by mynglȳg of putrified humours hit is more stynkynge orels by mynglynge of rawe humours hit hath no sauour Fourthly in talage for by mynglyng of coler hit enclineth to bitternes and by melancoly to sowernes or by fleme to vnsauerynes Also of fleme there be .ij. kyndes naturall vnnaturall Naturall is that whiche within a certeyne space wyll be bloudde for fleme is vndigested bloudde There is an other spice of fleme whiche is swete and some what warme if hit be compared

preferreth the fleshe therof aboue the fleshe of a stare and all other foules The .vij. is an osell whiche lyke wyse shulde be eaten yonge The .viij. is a phesande whiche of all phisitians is nōbred for one of the best fleshes For the fleshe of that foule is mooste holsome for mans nature and it is meate for princis great estates Consiliator sayth that the wylde fesante is beste both for helth and strength And also perauenture vniuersally seinge that they are nere like vnto hēnes and welnere of the same shappe And they be drier of ayer and of fedynge and larger of exercise The .ix. is a wodcocke the fleshe of this byrde is specially holsome The .x. is a pertriche whose fleshe as Auicen sayth is subtile Auicen .ii. can ca. de cubigine Galē .iii. alimētorū cap. xvii et .xviii. de iugenio cap. ii a great fatter hit scoureth away the dropsye comforteth the stomake and augmenteth carnal lust Yet neuer the lesse it is a bynder And this fleshe Galen preferreth aboue all other And hit is sayde that customable eatynge of this fleshe comforteth the memorie The .xj. is a ruddocke called robyn red brest she eatethe grapis and fleethe sweftly as a stare doth but hit nourishethe better than a stare doth and they haūte moche aboute the vines they be dronke by eatynge of grapes and they be best in season to eate about al Halomas The .xij. is orex whiche as some say is a fesant henne and as some saye a more henne whether hit be a phesant henne or a more henne the fleshe is of good norishemēt The .xiij. is a byrde called tremulus whiche byrde cōmonly abydeth nere the see coste lesse in quantite than a henne in colour russet hit criethe loude and fleethe sweftelye and whan his plumeth vpon the erthe the tayle waggeth styll and therfore hit is called tremulus and vpon the heed therof groweth lōge fethers Hit is nat that byrde the phesitions call a wagge tayle The .xiiij. last is amarellus whiche also is a water foule lyke vnto a ducke but hit is lesse And to speake generally amōge foules to eate they be best preysed that be swyfter in flight And as the fleshe of the forsaide foules are of a cōmēdable norishemēt and of easye digestion so lyke wyse the fleshe of some foules is of a discōmendable nourishement harde to digest and of vnegall cōplection as the fleshe of geese pecockes and malardes and vniuersally of al foules that haue longe neckes lōge bylles and lyue vpō water And the fleshe of sparowes whiche are excedinge hotte vntēperate sterynge to bodily lust But touchynge election of foules fleshe ye shall vnderstande that theyr naturall norishynge must be cōsidered that is whether they be restoratiue lyght of digestion lyght of substance or of subtile operation and so after theyr diuers propretes to preyse them Wherfore Galen beholdynge the easye alteration subtilte of pertriches fleshe preferreth them But Rasis with Isaac cōsiderynge the subtilte and lightnes of the stare preysethe that beste Isaac also after the diuers intētions of wylde foules fleshe preyseth diuers Auicen commendethe turtyls fleshe aboue other either hauynge respecte to the proprete wherby it strengtheth and comforteth mās vnderstandynge orels that in the countre of Araby where Auicen was borne turtyls are better than in other countreys Farther wittethe well that fleshe of foules is more holsome than of .iiij. legged beastis for them that forsake labour gyue them to studie and cōtemplation for hit is sooner digested as Galen .iij. alimentorū saith yet this fleshe of foules is soner digested than of beastis specially of ꝑtriches whiche engendreth cleane and pure bludde disposed to augmēt to sharpe the operations of the brayne that is mās vnderstandynge cogitation and memorie Si pisces molles sunt magno corpore tolle Si pisces duri parui sunt plus valituri This texte openethe .ij. knowleges in choyce of fyshe For either fysshe is harde or softe if hit be softe the elder the better The reason is for softenes comethe of humidite whiche in yonge fyshe is vndigested and in olde is more digested and so whan suche fyshes be yōge they engendre fleme but whan they be olde they do nothyng so moche And so appereth that an olde yele is holsomer thā a yonge as some say But if suche fishe be harde than it is holsomer yonge that is soner digested as pikes perches be For the hardnes resistethe digestion This is the opinion of Auicen .ii. ca. de piscibus sayenge Of harde fyshes take the smallest and of softe fyshes chose the greattest Lucius et parca saxaulus albica teuca Gurnus plagicia cum carpa galbio truca Here are rehersed .x. sortis of fishes very holsome for mans body The firste is a pike called the tyranne of fishes For he nat only deuoureth fishes of other kynde but also of his owne On whom these verses were made Lucius est piscis rex tyrannus aquarum A quo non differt Lucius iste parum The fishe of a pike is harde and swyfte in swymmȳge The .ij. is a perche diriuied of this verbe parco parcis to forbeare or spare by a clene cōtrary sence for a perche spareth no fyshe but wondethe other fyshes with his fynnes on his backe nor a pike dare nat venture vpon a perche but as Albertus sayth in his boke of beastis nature there is a natural amite betwene the perche the pike For the pike hurt of an other fishe is healed with great difficulte But whan he is hurte he gothe vnto the perche whiche seynge hym hurte touchethe and sokethe the wounde and so the pike is healed And the perche is like wise an harde fishe The .iij. is a see fyshe called a sole whiche is a speciall good fyshe The .iiij. is a whytyng The .v. is a tenche Whiche is a freshe water fyshe whose skynne is slyppery slymely some what blacke the meate therof is harde Whan so euer we wyll dresse a pike a perche or a tenche we muste take the skyn away The .vj. is gurnus whiche is a see fyshe This fyshe is as greatte in quantite as halfe a mans myddel fynger the whiche is eaten with the heed and fynnes The .vij. is a playce The .viij. is a carpe a freshe water fyshe whiche is moche slyme but greatte estates haue them soddde in wyne so the slymynes is done away The .ix. is a rochette a see fishe and is a fishe of harde meate holsome Some other textis haue gouio that is a goien whiche is very holsome fyshe The .x. is a troute whiche in eatyng is like samō and yet it is no samon it is longe and nat grosse it is taken in great ryuers and wyll suffre it selfe to be rubbed and clawed beynge in the water so it is taken therof pastis be made with spicis and hit is a ryghte deynte fyshe Touchynge the
