A19070	The haven of health Chiefly gathered for the comfort of students, and consequently of all those that have a care of their health, amplified upon five words of Hippocrates, written Epid. 6. Labour, cibus, potio, somnus, Venus. Hereunto is added a preservation from the pestilence, with a short censure of the late sicknes at Oxford.

and female is disproved by Matth. in the chapter aforesaid as untrue CHAP. 135. Of Conie COnie which is so plentifull a meate in this land and proved so light in digestion is little spoken of by Galen and other ancient writers But it is well proved among us that there is no meat more wholesome or that more cleanely firmely and temperately nouriâ—heth than Rabbets And what commodity a good warraine of Conies bringeth toward the keeping of a good house men of honour and worship that love hospitality doe well know Which vertue being acceptable to God and a singular benefit of all the country round about them the more it is to bee lamented is every day more and more neglected in England The chiefe cause thereof as wise men thinke is wastefull and sumptuous apparell now commonly used in every degree farre otherwise than William Rufus did who being a kings sonne and the second king of this land after the conquest was thought to exceed when he bestowed a marke upon a paire of hose using commonly to bestow but three shillings Whose example may well bee a condemnation to gentlemen in these daies who bestow as much upon one paire of hose as the king did upon twenty CHAP. 136. Of Venison VEnison whether it bee of red deere or fallow maketh ill iuice engendereth melancholy and is hard of digestion as Galen witnesseth Wherefore it is no wholesome meate for students no though it be drowned in wine as the best manner is to eate it Which way no doubt was first devised to amend the noysomnesse thereof because wine is of contrary nature to that humour which venison most of all breedeth For wine is hot and moist and melancholy is cold and dry A wonder it is to see how much this unwholesome flesh is desired of all folkes In so much that many men rashly will venâ—er their credit yea and sometime their lives too to steale Venison when they cannot otherwise come by it But I would advise them as Demosthenes said by the strumpet Lais Non tanti emere poenitere And I could wish saving the pleasure of honorable and worshipfull men that there were no parkes nor forrests in England For a good part of the best pasture in this Realme is consumed with deere which might otherwise be better imployed for a commonwealth And when with great travaile and perill they have gotten a peece of flesh then the dressing and eating is more costly than would provide many other dishes of meate a great deale more wholesome And concerning red deere Simeon Sethi writeth that stagges in the sommer season eate vipers and serpents whereby their flesh is made venemous and noysome and therefore is in no wise to bee eaten Yet master Eliote thinketh the flesh of â—allow deere more unwholesome â—d unpleasant than oâ— red deere And I thinke there is more vertue in the stagges hornes than in the flesh For I know the horne burned and made in pouder is given with great successe in al kinds of â—asks spiâ—â—ing of bloud and raâ—ndise Virgill writeâ—h that the Crow liveth nine times the age of a man accounting the age of man to bee an hundred yeares And that the Hart or Stag liveth foure times the age of a Crow Whose opinion how true it is I refer to keepers of Parkes and rangers of forrestes The verses of Virgill be these Ter binos deciesque nâ—vem superexit in â—nnos Iusta senescentum quos impâ—et nita virorum Hos novies superat vivendo garrulâ— cornix Et quater egreditur cornicis sâ—cula cervus CHAP. 137. Of strange beasts used for meates GAlen maketh mention of divers other kindes of beasts which some nations use to eat as the flesh of Asses Lyons Dogges Wolves Beares and such like To the which he might have added the Canibals who feed on mans flesh as sometime the Scoâ—s did as Saint Hierome witnesseth of his owne knowledge For so hee saith what shall I say of other Nations Since that when I was a boy I saw in France Scots a people of Britaine eate mans flesh And when they found in the forrests heards of swine beasts and cattell they would cut off the buttocks of the boyes which kept them and also the womens paps and tooke that to bee the most dainty and delicate meate And snailes are a common dish among the Grecians as Galen writeth in the second chapter of the booke aforesaid Much like as I have heard tell of a bishop of this land that would have eaten fryed frogs And some have I knowne to eaâ—e hedge-hogs and as for Rookes if they be fleaâ—d perboyled and well rosted or bakeâ— are good meaâ—e for poore folkes and as I have heard be medicinable for an agew But the other sorts aforenamed are more meete for hogs than men Wherfore I will let them passe and will speake of the parts and members of such beastes as be usually eaten in England CHAP. 138. Of the head of beasts THe flesh of the head of any beast is slow of digestion and annoyeth the stomacke Yet after it is digested it nourisheth much and augmenteth seed Some say that every part doth best nourish his like Which if it were true then should the head of a calfe or a sheepe best nourish the head of a man But I thinke otherwise for I know that the flesh of heads is very hurtfull to them that have the falling sickenesse which is a disease of the head Wherefore I thinke that reason proceeded first out of a Calves head or a sheepes head CHAP. 139. Of the Braine THe braine is flegmatike of grosse iuyce slow in digestion and noysome to the stomacke causeth loathsomenesse and taketh away appetite But where it is well digested it nourisheth much and is reckoned in Schola Sal. for one of the twelve things which greatly nourish and make fat mans body as appeareth in the verses following Nutrit triticum impinguat lac caseus infans Testiculi porcina caro cerebella medullae Dulcia vina cibus gustu iâ—cundior ovâ— Sorbilia ficus maturae vuae que recentes Notwithstanding if any man list to eate braines he should in no wise eate them last after other meates because so they procure vomit and beside they should be well sodden and after well spiced with pepper or such like But the preparing of meates I referre to skilfull Cookes The Calfe which is not the wisest beast hath yet the most braines and most used to bee eaten Yet some wise gentlewomen set more store by the braine of a Conie or a woodcocke And in some mens opinions as Arnoldus reporteth upon the verses aforesaid the braines of Chickens and Capons is good for the memory and comforteth the wit But I thinke the braine of a Calfe will make a man as wise as the braine of a Capon The Hares braine is good against the trembling and shaking of the limmes which is commonly called the Palsie

Of the sickenesse at Oxford ANd now that I have given mine advise to Students touching the Plague I will speake somewhat of other diseases neere Cosins to the Plague which have fallen out as well in the Vniversities as in the country abroad and may doe againe if Gods will bee so The chiefest of which is that sickenesse which yet beareth the name of England and is called of forraine nations Sudor Anglicus the English sweat or sweating sickenesse as we terme it A kinde of Pestilence no doubt and so is it judged of Leonhartus Fuchsius where he saith in this manner Quod si venenata ac pernitiosa haec qualitas primum in spiritibus haeserit eosque devastaverit ac corruperit â—rit â—um febris pestilentialis Diaria quales fuere quae in lue illa quam Sudorem Anglicum vocant Anno 1529. per universam Germaniam grassabantur This sickenesse began first in England Anno 1485. in the very first yeare of the raigne of King Henry the seventh and was againe renued Anno 1528. in the twentieth yeare of King Henry the eight and sprang the third time Anno 1551 in the fifth yeare of King Edward the sixth So that three times England hath beene plagued therewith to the great destruction and mortality of the people and not England onely but Germany also and Flanders and Brabant insomuch that at Antwerpe there dyed of the sweat in three dayes space five hundred persons And in London and in the suburbes there dyed in the same disease in manner within sixe daies space in the fifth yeare of Edward the sixth eight hundred persons and most of them men in their best yeares The manner of this disease was such that if men did take cold outwardly it strooke the sweat in and immediatly killed them If they were kept very close and with many clothes it stifeled them and dissolved nature If they were suffered to sleepe commonly they swooned in their sleepe and so departed or else immediately upon their waking But at length by the study of physicians and experience of the people driven thereto by dreadfull necessity there was a remedy invented after this manner If a man on the day time were taken with the sweate then he should streight lye downe with all his clothes and garments and lie still the whole 24 houres If in the night he were taken then he should not rise out of his bed for the space of 24 houres and so cast the clothes on him that he might in no wise provoke the sweate but so lye temperately that the sweat might distll out softly of it owne accord and to absteine from all meat if he might so long susteine and suffer hunger and to take lukewarme drinke no more then would delay thirst and withall to put forth neither hand nor foot out of the bed but to avoid cold in every part of the body and so continuing without sleep in a moderate sweat for 24. houres after that time to sleepe and eat at pleasure yet measurably for feare of relaps for some were taken thrise with this disease and after the third time dyed of the same Which relaps happeneth likewise in the common Plague for as Ficinus writeth of his owne knowledge that a Florentine who had beene twise delivered of the plague Tertio mortem evadere non potuit Wherefore let no man thinke that if he have once escaped the sweating sicknesse or the pestilence that hee may not fall againe into the same disease But some man will say it is needlesse now to write of the sweating sickenesse because it neither is nor hath beene of long time Whereto I answer that although it be not at this present God bee thanked therefore and God defend us from it alwayes yet by the judgement of some Astronomers namely Francis Keete a man very well learned in that art in his Almanacke for the yeare of our Lord God 1575 it was very like to have renued in this our Realme for as much as the heavens then were in like order in a manner as they were at those times before when that kinde of disease so cruelly raged Wherein hee erred not much for both that yeare and divers yeares since have fallen out many strange and grievous sickenesses and dangerous diseases unknowne to the most part of physitians as that disease specially which was at Oxford at the assises anno 1577. and began the sixth day of Iuly from which day to the twelfth day of August next ensuing there dyed of the same sickenesse five hundred and tenne persons all men and no women The chefest of which were the two Iudges sir Robert Bell Lord chiefe Baron and master Sergeant Baram master Doile the high Sheriffe five of the Iustices foure counsailours at the law and an atturny The rest were of the iurers and such as repayred thither All infected in a manner at one instant by reason of a dampe or mist which arose among the people within the Castle yard and court house caused as some thought by a traine and trechery of one Rowland Ienks booke binder of Oxford there at that time arrained and condemned But as I thinke sent onely by the will of God as a scourge for sinne shewed chiefely in that place and at that great assembly for example of the whole Realme that famous Vniversity being as it were the fountaine and eye that should give knowledge and light to all England Neither may the Vniversitie of Cambridge in this respect glory above Oxford as though they had greater priviledge from Gods wrath for I read in Hales Chronicle in the thirteenth yeare of King Henry the eight that at the assise kept at the Castle of Cambridge in Lent anno 1522 the Iustices and all the gentlemen Bailiffes and other resorting thither tooke such an infection that many gentlemen and yeomen thereof dyed and almost all which were there present were sore sicke and narrowly escaped with their lives what kinde of disease this should bee which was first at Cambridge and after at Oxford it is very hard to define neither hath any man that I know written of

AS I have declared according to my knowledge the whole order of dyeâ— contained in those five things which chiefely concerne mans life that is to say Labour Meate Drinke Sleepe and Venus so now also for the benefit of students whose health I tender most of all I shall briefely and plainely set forth by what wayes and meanes they may avoyd such diseases as bee contagious namely the pestilence which was twice in Oxford in my time within twelve yeares being brought from London both times once by clothes and another time by lodging of a stranger and after dispersed throughout the citty by receiving of bedding and other clothes from the places infected This disease of all other is common to all men of all complections as Aristotle teacheth because the ayre compasseth all men about and is drawne into all mens bodies alike which if it be corrupt must needs infect them also that receive it though sooner or later more or lesse according to the disposition or state of the body for as Galen writeth Magnam in generatione aegritudinum partem habet ejus qui passurus est habilitas corporis And againe Nulla causa sine patientis aptitudine agere potest The pestilence is defined of Marsilâ—us Ficinus Venenosus quidam vapor in aâ—re concretus vitali inimicâ—s spiritui Not that the ayre is venomous of it selfe but through corruption hath now gotten such a quality or property that being drawne into mans body it inflameth the humours especially where they bee superfluous and bringeth them to a venomous temperature And this is called febris Pestilentialis as Fuchsius defineth Quod a venenata qualitate adeo a Pestilentialis ac venenati aeris inspiratione oriatur Now the reason why the ayre is more corrupt at one time than at another or in one place rather than in another is diversly assigned by the Astronomers and Physicians and is imputed both to celestiall causes and terrestriall which be specially foure videlicet The influence of sundry starres great standing waters never refreshed Carraine lying long above ground much people in small roome living uncleanely and sluttishly But leaving those particular causes to such as write of this matter at large I make one principall or generall cause that is the wrath of God for sinne for so God threatneth That hee will send sicknesse and diseases unto those that will not heare his word and disobey his commandements Which came to passe evidently in the time of King David when 70 thousand perished with the Pestilence in one day Wherefore if Plague and sickenesse be Gods punishment as they bee indeed then first of all wee ought to have recourse unto God by prayer as Iesus Syrach counsaileth us My sonne faile not in thy sickenesse but pray unto the Lord and hee will make thee whole And next wee ought to use those meanes for recovery of health which God hath ordeined For as it is said in the same Chapter The Lord hath created Medicines of the earth and hee that is wise will not abhorre them Now the chiefe remedy for the Plague to preserve from infection is to avoid the infected aire For as much as the Plague doth come of corruption of the ayre as I have shewed before and if you may not or will not avoid it for some of necessity must still remaine in the place where the Plague is then the remedy standeth in correcting and purifying of the ayre and in taking such things into the body as may strengthen the heart and vitall spirits thereby to make them able to withstand the poysoâ— And in those three points shall this treatise bee absolved As for the cure of such as bee infected with the Plague or visited with any other sort of sickenesse I refer it to the discretion and knowledge of the learned Physicians and expert Chirurgians The first way then of preservation from the Plague is with speed to goe farre from the place infected and there to remaine until all the infection be past This remedy is merily termed of Iordanus a late writer Electuarium etribus adverbâ—is which in Latine verse hee reporteth thus Haec tria tabificam pellunt adverbia pestem Mox longe tarde cede recede redi In prose as much to say as Fuge cito Procul ac tarde revertaris Fly quickely from the place infected abide farre off and returne not soone againe Cito fugere is expounded by Marsilius Ficinus to depart away as soone as any certaine signes of the Plague doe appeare Now the signes of the Plague to come as hee saith are where the ayre of that place varieth from his naturall temperature declining to heat and moysture when it seemeth clowdy and dusty When the Windes are grosse and hot when the Waters and fields smoke and smell and the fishes are ill both in savour and taste When many Wormes breed of putrefaction of the earth Toadestooles and rotten herbs abound The fruits and beasts of the earth are unsavoury The windes become muddy Many birds and beasts fly from that place strange Agues arise raging continuall burning phrantike when the small Pocks and Measels are rife and wormes abound in children and old folkes when many women
