But after their eating a●d d●inking because they do it immoderately they are sensible of a cloging heaviness dull Indisposition which is a certain sign that the necessity and conveniency of Nature is exceeded for the intention of Food is to refresh not to oppress or incommode her 4. The pleasure of the Palate in eating a●d d●inking is prolonged many degrees beyond the necessity of the Stomach especially where Foods or Drinks are made by Art and Compulsition enticing and many P●ople thereby over-charge themsel●es before they are aware whence Crudities noxious Juices and many cruel Diseases are generated and in the end Death it self therefore let all Persons watch over themselves in this respect and take the wise mans advice To set a Knife to th●ir● Throat that is to take up a Resolution of Temperance whenever they find their Appe●ites tempted and like to be inveigled and drawn in to Excess 5. Your Meats and Drinks ought in every respect to b● properly prepared for Food ill dressed does destroy Health in a secret yet Powerful manner S●me will but ha●f do it others over-do it both are great and dangerous Errors so that the S●omach cannot draw any good Nourishment from it for the Body and so the Blood is thickned the Spi●its wounded and many Diseases are multiplied 6. All sorts of Flesh and other gross Foods that are boy●●d o●ght to be boyled in plenty of Water with brisk quick Fires without intermission and as soon as they begin to boyl the Vessel should be uncover●d until it be done which will pres●rve the pure balsamick Vertues and Spirits whence the pure delightful Taste Smell and Colour do proceed 7. Forbear to eat Flesh without distinction more especially in Iu●y August September and Oct●ber for then the Flesh of all sorts of Cat●el is more subject to putrifaction than at an● other season not only from the heat of the Weather but because the Sun is then declining which causes all other things to do so too and the Grass on which they feed is weak fainty and phl●gmatick which is the reason why their fat is then so soft and greasie that it will not duly take salt and more especially if hard d●iven as most Cattel kill'd about Lond●n and other great Cities has been therefore in the foremention'd Months the Griping of the Bowels and p●●nicio●s F●av●rs do reign more than at any other time of the year 8. Forbear the freq●ent eating of Fish wit●out regard had to the Season or to their cleanness or uncleanness or their being killed after they are taken that is by a Wound which would cause the free evacuation of the original Properties of Saturn and Mars which is seldom done by the ignorant Fisher-men but they let them dye that is strangle or suffocate themselves whereby the pure Spirits and sweet Vertues by the Agony of the Creature at the departure of Life are fixt or overcome for the original Venoms in which all Life consists are then so terribly stirred up and aggitated that they immediately suffocate the pure Spirits and sweet Oyl if there be not a Wound made whereby those raging Poysons may freely pass away in the Vehicle of the Blood For this Reason Experience that all Flesh as of Fowls or the like that a●e strangled will not eat so sweet and pleasant as others that have a Wound made and bleed plentifully but hath a stronger and grosser Taste and Smell nor will it breed so good Blood or Nourishment as the other 9. Remember that you eat not before the former Foods be digested nothing is a greater Preserver of Health than proper Fasting it cleanseth the Stomach keeps the Passages from being furr'd prevents Stoppages Colds and Shortness of Breath and makes People Aiery strong and of good clean Complexions 10. Drink moderate and simple Drinks not exceeding either in Quantity or Quality for fear you waste and destroy your Health and be sure let your Drink be well fermented clear and free from that Yeasty Quality which most of your Ale in London is subject unto nor such Small-Beer as is there commonly put off by Chandlers which the Brewers make after the brewing of their Ale and strong Beer being little better than the washing of their Vessels and contains a sour nauseo●s Property that heats the Blood and hurts the Body 11. Let your ordinary Drinks be mild and friendly to Nature not stale hard sour nor too new for all these are prejudicial 12. Let your Habit or Day-Clothing be moderate rather thin than thick whereby the pleasant vapours of the Air may freely court Nature and be suckt in at the Pores as by Spunges on all parts which will continually cheer comfort and refresh the Spirits and whole Body and makes your Limbs strong nimble and lively preventing Drought unnatural Heat and the like Indispositions 13. Let your Houses be Aiery your Windows large and often set open your Beds hard clean and sweet for which purpose Straw or Flock-Beds with Quilts on them will be much better than Feather-Beds and will not only prevent the generation of Vermin but make you more healthful and enable all the Limbs to discharge their respective Functions with ●ase and pleasure as I have at large demonstrared and given the Reasons thereof in my Way to Health c. 14. Forget not to use proper Exercises and Labour in open airy places which will prevent many occasions of Weaknesses and Obstructions and such as cannot or will not labour let them take good Walks every day by River-sides or on Downs and Plains 15. Observe the Rules of Chastity provoke not Nature nor turn her out of her simple and innocent way but use such Meats Drinks and Exercises as will replenish her with brisk lively Spirits and Vertues neither ought you to give way to loose Imaginations but to abhor unlawful Lusts and to make use of the Remedy he hath permitted with Moderation and only for the ends for which the same was ordained 16. Avoid as much as may be Compounded Foods especially ●uch as have been invented to intice Nature beyond her proper Inclinations but content your selves with simple Meats and Drinks which you will find to be the Sinews of Health and Strength so that your Stomach and natural Heat shall continue good and vigorous all your appointed time 17. Let not Carking Cares nor Perturbations afflict your Minds about such things as are out of your power to help or remedy nor abandon your selves too much to any Passion be it Love Hate Revenge or the like avoid Envy Strife Violence and Oppression either to Man or Beast Stillness and Complacency of Mind are two main Props to support our Adamical Building a cheerful Heart causeth the Countenance to shine a good Conscience is a continual Feast and Content is Nectar to the Spirits and Marrow to the Bones Therefore study to be satisfied with your Portion and thank and bless God for his Bounties which you enjoy and use his Creatures for the end they
