with nuts almonds peares and honny it is lesse hurtfull A. Will you take three or foure stalkes of Anise P. They mend the stinch of the breath they are good for hydropickes and opilations of the Lyuer they prouoke vrine stay the white fluxes of women the decoction thereof dissolues the ventosities of the body helpes the stomacke Lyuer and Lights as also the Matrixe it hinders the vapours that ascend vp into the braine being taken before you drinke water it rectifies it it helpes all baked meates it stimulates Venus and hurts sanguine and chollericke men A. See here Teazels or Hartichoakes P. The tender ones are better then the hard but yet they are windie procure opilations and encrease lust A. Your Teazels made white by Art please me much better burying them in the Autumne with thinne earth they are eaten in the end of supper with pepper and salt to seale vp and corroborate the stomacke but I thinke that Coriander or Coriandolet hath a greater vertue P. That of Egypt is the best it is very good for the stomacke repressing the venemous exhalation that ascend vp into the head being drunke with sweet wine it kils wormes keepes the flesh vncorrupt Coriander comfits at the end of meate detained in the stomack aide digestion and fortifie the head and braine A. Then I will take a glutting of them P. Their superfluous vse offends the head obfuscates vnderstanding and disburdens the minde the iuyce thereof being drunke is mortall poyson and they which drinke thereof become dumbe or fooles A. But it being otherwise of such vertue how may the vice of it be remoued P. You must keepe it for one night in vineger then couer it with Sugar for so they are good but if any drinke of the iuyce thereof he may be cured with the powder of egge-shels with Salemonia or Treacle and wine A. I like Fennell very well and how doth it please you sir P. I haue euer delighted much in the sweet Fennell which is hot in the second degree and dry in the first but the wilde doth dry and heate more effectually but that which is new gathered and sweet breedes milke in women and menstrues and in all generally vrine it remoues ancient opilations it greatly helps the eyes A. What if it should be dry P. It is good for the Winter but let it be taken soberly for it enflames the Lyuer and hurts the eyes but yet it opens the opilations of the lyuer mylt breast and braine but both one and other hurt sanguine cholericals and it produceth blacke choler so as it is fitter for medicine to the sicke then meate to the sound In this point I commend your English Gentlemen who are not much delighted with such fruits A. In troth the very odour of that Cytron comforts my smell and the colour of it my sight if it were not hurtfull I would faine eate a little of it P. The skinne therof eaten causeth digestion the seed remedies all poysons prouokes menstrues kils wormes in the belly being beaten and giuen with the iuyce of it fasting being eaten whole it preuailes against the plague and the corruption of the ayre as also against poison the water of Cytrons distilled is pleasant to the taste and beneficiall to the heart and braine and being giuen with the conserues of Cydron it is admirable against pestilentiall feauers it extinguisheth thirst and the feauer and it resists putrifaction the water of the flowers therof distilled is very preualent against the plague and such like accidents it is a friend to the heart and effectually prouokes sweating the skinnes thereof seasoned preuailes against the aboue-named things and the oyle that is extracted out of the skinne and seede is very cordiall by annointing the pulses therewith as also it is good for the circumferentiall region of the heart but yet Cytrons being eaten in the euening they cause dizinesse and are troublesome to hot heads but the preserue of Violets being eaten after them corrects their hurtfull qualitie A. Reach me those Mulburies P. They mollifie the harshnesse of the throate remoue thirst moysten the body excite appetite slake choler they are better eaten before meate then after they sodainely corrupt the which they likewise doe when they encounter with other humours but to the end they may not breede ventosities let them be washed in wine and let hot young men eare also the sowrer sort of them with sugar in Sommer and such shall haue in them no bad humours A. Will you please sir to haue any of these Arbutes or Strawburies or Sea-cherries or Africans or Italian Corbezzuole P. Out alas the very thinking of them obstructs bindes and stitches mee corroborating my body but too much notwithstanding the water of them distilled from the leaues or flowers with the powder of the bone in an Harts heart or of the horne of the same beast thinly grated helpes in time of the plague especially before the disease be confirmed and the decoction or powder of their leaues preuaileth against the selfe same disease and their fruites stay fluxes A. Enough enough enough at this time I will no more to tell you a very secret I finde in my selfe daily a great desire to these figges or fat figlins P. They nourish more then any other fruit they quench thirst discharge the breast fatten aide sperme and being very ripe are most secure A. Seeing in our Countrey by reason of the abundant humiditie and defect of heate we cannot haue greene ones wee will eate dride ones P. They help the cough and with Nuts leaues of Rue and salt they are good against the plague besides they are good for all complexions but many of them offend the stomacke they excite collickes cause thirst hurt the Lyuer and the Milt and cause the itch with lice and opilations to come when they are too much vsed and I find in my selfe that they produce great abundance of yealow choler A. But what will you taste of no Apples P. Of what taste are they A. Some are sharpe and tart others are pleasant P. These are hot in the first degree and temperately moist but the others are cold and dry so as the great sweet and wel-coloured are the best the greene apples amongst all others hold the first place the red ones the second and the russet the third they comfort the heart much extend the breast they open the Catarre cause one to spit and being roasted in ashes they comfort a weake stomacke and therefore they are good for them that are in recoueries when they be eaten with Aniseede comfits or sugar and synnamon the syrupe of them is cordiall and most of all against melancholike passions but raw ones being eaten in any quantitie hurt the nerues and a weake stomacke and they must ripen vpon the tree or otherwise they are of very bad nourishment your sowre doe make one loose memorie and generate much flegme and ventositie they are preserued in Wheat straw but so as they

bridle as is fit for their vnperfect state and condition P. One cannot obtaine anything rare without great labour and rare wit but how did this poore wretch beare and support such a crosse A. There being no bad neighbours that might animate her to euill nor wicked or bad kinsmen to nourish her in it but such as exhorted her to ouercome the euill with the good after she had suffered enough peraduenture for diuers other of her secret sinnes she went to the Monke and tolde him all succinctly who answered her in this sort you did not well obserue the Bell goe and the night following obserue it better for then you will discerne the errour to be your owne P. What did this sheepe after her so much sheepishnesse A. Taking leaue when night was come and that shee had a good while repented and sighed for her made marriage the aboue-named bell sounding it seemed clearely to say vnto her Doe not marrie doe not marrie doe not marrie and thus it sounded vnto her this aduise whereupon she praised the Frier and blamed her selfe P. The wiser this Cowlist was the lesse wise thee but I conceiue your intention well for you would inferre that conformable to enclination and appetite I would also expound mine owne dreames But you must vnderstand there is great difference betweene a Kercheife and a Bonnet A. It is true but you also know that few wise men are found which will apply themselues to such a businesse P. In this wee are not different for many reasons and authorities which omitting that onely of Senecaes shall suffice me saying that sleepe doth mingle true things with false Cato Ouid Tibullus and others did conclude that wee should not take any heed of dreames And wittie Guirinus saith truely dreames are of our hopes more then vaine hopes of that which is to come The imaginations of the day spoil'd and corrupted by the shadow of the night A. Diogenes also said that considering the policie of man no creature seemed wiser to him then man but then considering the Interpreters of dreames and their Expositors hee thought none more foolish then man P. S. Augustine also added hereunto that S. Porphirius was of opinion how the interpretation of dreames came from Diuels A. We cannot but blame the exposition of dreames Ecclesiasticus saying Dreames extoll fooles as he which apprehends shaddow and followes the wind so very a foole is he who obserues dreames as hee which troubles himselfe in vaine to embrace a shaddow and to follow the winde P. In Leuiticus also we are admonished not to beleeue in South-sayings much lesse to obserue dreames A. And moreouer Fool siastes addeth that dreames haue made many to erre and how they were fallen and precipitated that put their trust in them P. But what dreames may we obserue and what contemne A. They which are repugnant to the sacred scriptures to the Doctrine of the true Church but as for the others wherein we are admonished we must reuerence as a diuine grace and fauour of which we haue seene that God hath oftentimes beene the expounder himselfe as also the diuine Tassus doth shew to vs. Therefore the God him sent a silent dreame because hee would reueale to him a high secret He neuer did reueale to others in sleepe a vision of so faire and fine imaginations as in this he did to him in the which he did open to him the secrets both of heauen and earth P. And moreouer I say vnto you that after a man shall haue passed in his youth any great trouble whensoeuer hee shall dreame in such a state he must certainly prepare himselfe for some sinister encounter and if hee dreame of his dead predecessours notwithstanding any industrie or meanes so euer that he can vse he must expect some vnhappie or at least no wished for successe of his principallest affaires A. How much hath beene said pleaseth me much and in conclusion as we said before after the moderate supper will follow a quiet and a short sleepe and that which doth exceede euery other thing will make vs in the morning more apt vnto vertue P. This is true whereby we see the iuditious Fathers to bring vp from childhoode their children in such wise that they make an artificiall nature to dedicate not to the birds nor to the inquired running amongst the woods and fieldes but to the Muse the pleasant Aurora A. Such giue large earnest of their wit and noble spirit and of such many haue I seene in my dayes amongst whom now I remember the illustrious Sir Iohn Hollei a most worthy Knight for his vertues honourable qualities and merits meriting of euery one to be not lesse loued then reuerenced and esteemed who and his most honest and for any respect most honoured and neuer sufficiently praised Lady according to their vertuous spirits knowing as saith the Poet that if the plant be euill tilled it produceth euill fruit they haue with their morning wakening and continuall study made their Sonnes to be brought vp I will say saying the truth endued with all vertue fitting to an accomplished Gentleman the which doth not merit in this our age no little praise P. Such manifest their wit wisedome that besides a thousand defects which follow from long sleepe moreouer springeth from it Idlenesse and from Idlenesse vice and from the one and the other almost euery euill followeth therefore as the earth from whence man is deriued hauing generatiue vertue if it produceth nothing of good bringeth forth grasse not onely vnprofitable but yet often hurtfull so man as saith Cicero Ouia and others borne to labour and contemplate not giuing himselfe to vertue falleth into vice homines enim nihil agendo male agere discunt As manifest examples doth yeeld vs those Nations the which esteeming not good workes wee see them drowned in the lees of all sinne without knowledge of it A. What meruaile is it for by the saying of the Wiseman Qui sectatur otium stultus est He is a foole that followeth idlenesse and he walketh as a blinde man And Ierome writing to D●metria saith Nothing is worse then Idlenesse because it doth not onely get nothing but it loseth also that which it hath got Nihil in sancto prop●sito otio deterius nam non solum nihil acquirit sed parata cons●mit P. Nilo who was a Bishop and a Martyr cals it the mother of all defects Idlenesse taking from vs whatsoeuer we possesse and what we doe not it hinders vs to purchase A. Aristotle Plutarch and Isidorus doe testifie that Idlenesse is the true contempt and dissolution of all vertue and that from it as from a plague many other euils doe arise P. Plato in the first of his Common-wealth cals Idlenesse a plague and here-from peraduenture it hapneth that wheresoeuer great idlenesse raignes their a great plague raignes A. Empedocles cals it an

is imprinted in our hearts neyther is it eyther learned or taught but euen in humane hearts without any maister Nature of her selfe doth print it with her owne hand and when shee commandeth heauen must obey much more this lower earth Let vs therefore follow Nature and let vs loue the Sunne goes downe and shines againe so short a light is quickly coucht and hid eternall night hasts on eternall sleepe and man hath no truer ioy then louing A. Let others pursue the delights of Loue if so in Loue a man may finde delight I shall no doubt finde pleasures far more firme E. Oh sir you know not yet what force loues fire hath in an humane breast which is a breast of flesh and not of stone as yours seemes to me to be A. I know too much and therefore iustly say Pittie is but crueltie to one that is more cruell then all others E. A sweete but cruell yoake of seruitude Loue surely is Afflictions past and perils seeme but sweet they sauour all things to the Louers taste A. The Louers state is doubtlesse very hard for let him turne him round about and hee shall heare nothing which doth not both daunt terrifie him and a Louers hope is nothing else but when one euill is past to expect a greater E. Will you liue so sloathfully without content the man that loues onely knowes delight A. One safety Louers haue which is despaire for hopes doe for the most part vndoe them and they liue wretched in misery they haue vaine hopes and yet most certaine griefes with doubtfull performance in their promises neyther doth any man lend his helping hand to the tossed and perplexed minde of a louer E. Loue onely is a most quiet peace without all molestation which Loue can kill and heale Loue with delights doth prick and then annoint a wound of Loue will cure the darts deepe wound A. Death is the onely medicine for the heart and yet that loue is most quicke which from affliction springs neuer let him vaunt that I am one of his nor out his kingdome let him set his foote E. Loue turnes bitter things into sweete and teares to ioy sweete angers and sweete peace as sweete disdaines sweete ill sweete griefe and burden that is most light sweete speech and sweetly heard with outward eare when from her mouth it comes and in her eyes is read A. Each one the paine feeles of his louing well and eyther loue or death his pennance is Loue hath euer beene an enemie vnto man and therefore the Poet saith oh happie man so in my death this plague reach not so farre as to infect darke hell E. Vexe not your selfe the sweete tempers the sower for Loue it selfe doth heale the wound of Loue but more if onely once your selfe might taste the thousand part of all those endlesse ioyes which doth the louing heart beloued againe then grieuing you would sigh and say I doe account all the time to be lost that is not spent in Loue oh yeeres now fled and gone How many widdow-nights how many solitarie dayes haue I spent in vaine that might haue beene employed in this vse which is more sweet the oftner it is replyed A. When riuers shall both sigh and turne vnto their fountaines or Wolues shall flye from Lambes or the gray-hound from the fearefull Hare when Beares shall loue the sea or the Dolphin the Alpes and when from Plants sighes may be heard then to be a Louer I will be content E. Will you be so cruell vnto your selfe as to denie so high contentment vnto your selfe in taking from her the labour of denying it you A. I call her an enemie whom you call a louer and that briefe content a great pennance E. There is in Loues necessitie no Law me let my Mistresse entertaine after short prayers and seruice short or peace or truce restoring both our hearts A. Ah it is a false sweete flitting good The treacherous world can giue vnto a man That doth in it repose his confidence Wherein no peace is nor stabilitie E. T is a prouerbe olde loue him that loues againe A. The youthfull heart enamoured Now smiles then weepes now feares then is secure And when he would not doth repent his fault But farre from loue remou'd from torments all E. I doubt some pleasing enuie doth you tempt A. We cannot thinke this to be enuies case seeing deere is the loue that gets both heart and gold and doe you not remember the saying a Louer mony-lesse no other seemes then like a scholler without bookes a Pilot without skill a Fencer blinde a Warriour without Armes E. That whore may goe to the Hospitall that prostitutes her selfe and will not scrape For little pleasure he suffers great paine that lets his Bagpipe out vpon credite who ere thou wert that first didst learne teach to sel proud loue accursed be thy state thy buried ashes and thy bones so cold and towards them inhumane be all men not saying passing by remaine in peace the raine them wet and let the winde them scatter Heards tread on them with feet vncleane and strangers eke for thou didst first corrupt Loues true Nobilitie thou his sweet delights didst bitter make Loue mercenarie Loue seruant vnto gold a Monster huge most sauage and more terrible then either earth or waues of Sea brings forth why crie I thus in vaine let each one vse those armes by nature graunted vnto him for greater safetie so the Hart may runne the Lyon vse his pawes the foamie Boare his tuskes in women beautie and comelinesse are force and Armes wherewith to ouercome We because we vse not to our good this violence Nature hath made vs apt to offer violence rapines to commit A. Admit that women were an hell a fire a flame most visible to such a perill would you expose your selfe E. What ere she were gentle were she faire more bold I would be goe more readily then the wounded Hart doth to the fountaine cleare I would not feare midst fire flame to goe yea into hell or yet in hell to liue if hell may be where things so faire are seene to taste that which once tasted oft inuites to tast so my liking there for to possesse as it might ready be vnto my will A. Who can finde good except he seeke it out and danger t is that thing for to finde out which may well please yet torments enough containing griefe enough in fading ioyes I know not whether the great bitternesse that a man seruing and louing feeles lamenting dispairing may fully sweetned be by a present ioy but if more deere it is and if good doth after euill sweeter taste of Loue I le neuer require this greater happinesse Let him in this sort others happy make I haue already wept and burnt enough let others haue their share I not desire that which must cost our sinfull soules so deare E. Loue will enforce him that is cold in
