were deuised agreeable no lesse to the holy Writ in ech part than to Philosophie and Phisike in euery pointe profitable for the preseruation as well of the healthie body as beneficiall to the guiding of the persite and godly minde I deemed then so meete for none as for youre highnesse the defence and protection bycause there is no Prince to whome God hath giuen the title of Defender of the Faith And besides that that he hath yet in our dayes as of old dealt so gratiously and bountifully withall as to endue with full and absolute power and rule for the bodily and ghostly direction and

Plato also testifieth suche a Sympathia to be betwene the bodye and the soule that if either exceede the meane the one suffereth with the other Galen Prince of Phisitions teacheth that if the minde

plainely proueth such a consent felowshippe and sufferaunce to be betwene the body and the mind that if the soule yeelde to the vices of the body that they shall feele the griefes and punishment thereof not only in this mortal life both togither but also in the euerlasting life to come Saint Ierome that reuerend Doctor and holy Father auoucheth that ouer-much weakenesse of the body doth

What writers ought to consider and wherfore the Author hath made this worke COnsideringe with my selfe howe necessarie it is after the iudgement of right reason dayly experience and common knowlege of al learned writers for him that wil deliuer anye preceptes or doctrine auailable to this learned expert and cunning age principallye to weighe whether it be possible profitable and plaine whiche he teacheth or no and that otherwise it is but labor lost deluding of the studious and a very deceiuing of the time bycause of impossible things there is no abilitie of vnprofitable no gaine of riddles Sophismes and Oracles but euerie mans construction Therefore least I in these dayes wherin al Artes abound might séeme to take in hande the like to teach impossibilities to allow things vnprofitable and to commende impostures as Cornelius Agrippa hath done verie vainely other obscurelye and some fantasticallye besides other some that séeme to write as they knowe in their proper tong Englishe and yet their termes must be altogither forsooth in Latin and Gréeke or in some other forraine speach as though our lāguage could not comprehend so muche as their freshe wittes can discourse or that truth cannot be deliuered but in vnknowen words and termes far set clean contrarie not onlye to the iudgemente of our Elders but also to the beste of oure dayes as in the skilfull workes of oure countrey menne Chaucer Gowre Surrey Cheeke Chaloner Recorde Phaire Wilson Iewel d ee Digs Fox Holenshead c. is apparante So that as far forth as my learning and leasure will serue mée I do take this way I doe laye the best approued reasons principles groūds that I can gather following the example of the Bée out of euery floure aunswerable to al vertues subiect to our common phrase or talke for my rules dayly experience for my proofe and lawful authoritie for my warrant And although the high knowledge of Philosophie of many base wits and vnlearned is rather had in contempt vniustlye than commended as it ought lawfullye I haue notwithstanding chosen some of the wisest sayings of sundrye of the beste sectes as I haue condemned diuerse others of the worst according to the counsel of Saint Augustine that most famous diuine who willeth that whatsoeuer is true and appertinent to our faith that we ought not to feare it but to chalenge it for our owne from them which are no right owners thereof that if ordinarie meanes iuste lawes wise councels and holy decrées nor the heauēly doctrine the blessed word may not restraine vs from vice from sinne nor perswade vs to preserue both bodie and Soule wherein all felicitie consisteth as Montuus affirmeth agreable to al diuine instructions that yet at the least the very Infidels and Paganes following only the morall vertues may admonish vs to refraine from disobedient wicked wais to foresee both the one and the other when as we loke into their vertues voyde of spiritual grace he finde them to surmount ours that he borne vnder it that in baptisme haue promised to renoūce al wickednesse to embrace al our liues long the fruits of the spirit the déeds of grace But bycause the duties appertayning to Soule and Bodie of eache age state and condition shall be prosecuted in this and the ages following I will presentlye according to the reuerende rule of Phisicke shew what kinde of Nurse is beste to prouide for infantes that yonglyngs endued with the humaine graces or spirites the naturall vital and animall actions vertues powers or offices may haue these kept in them healthyly as also be instructed in all the other mētioned in the Epistle naturally christianly and ciuilly For vnlesse we handle first the natural dyet political discipline méete for infants howe shall we orderly come to the rest of our intent For this is certain that vnlesse there be a like additiō added to the naturall parts answerable to euery age as Galē most excellently argueth in stead of that which wasteth daily frō thē as in my discourse of growing liuing things I haue partly shewed a framing of the mind in al godly knowledge holy religiō by instruction neither can there be a soūd bodie long kept nor at al a vertuous religious soule found except it be by inspiratiō By reason wherof I do thinke best that the one the other be as soone as may be put in vre The holesome nourishmēt for the healthy bodie conuenient from the ve●ys birth the ordinarie instruction for the witting minde from the first perseuerance or vnderstanding And this doubtlesse in all such as are perfitly endewed with the things naturall expressed in the tenth Chapter of this worke shall the better be preserued if the things not natural as ayre meate and drinke sléepe

that the power wisdome and iustice of kings princed and rulers is the gouernement of God they be his presi●●●ts for by me sayth he Princes rule as in the holy volume most plainely and very often is expressed Whyche I woulde that some pastours preachers and ministers woulde wiselyer weye and warne in their Synodes Sermōs parishes not to suffer others that haue no licēce to preach their inuentiōs contrary to the Quéenes procéedings as I wish that they in their houses wold observe that al other by them might take example to kepe Lent and suche fasting dayes as by the lawes of God and men are commaunded of Courtiers and Lawyers better vsed than of some diuines althoughe the Apostles themselues ordayned Lente and Telesphorus Quinquagesima as Polidor writeth wherby the bodie may be brought obedient to the spirit that Name better maintained land encrease more cherished and the more subiectes be bred and nourished with two partes in sixe of household diet saued the bodie healthilier preserued and the more people exercised let some Libertines busie belly bodies neuer so cunningly voyde of feare or duetie colour the cōtrary Howbeit nine sorts of people by lawes haue ben always tollerated as the case hath required Sick Soldiers Sailers Infants Nurses womē gret longing or lying in Childe bed aged persōs prisoners wayfaring mē whō of late they named Pilgrims The seconde from inordinate and vnlawfull touching or venerie as from coueting of goods vnlawfullye as sayth Clemens Alexandrinus as in the last Section where all actuall sinnes are expressed shal be shewed The thirde not only from vnsitting toyes but also from al other vnlawfull déedes be it of séeing hearing or smelling so that through this vertue Temperance the actions inwarde outwarde of vs vppon this earth are kepte in their meane as the heauenly Sunne through his mouing light and influence in the middle Sphere giueth his meane temperature yéelding by gods appointment to this lower world with the rest of the celestiall bodies all flourishing comfort growth and encrease Wherevpon the diuine Doctor Saint Hierome saith that be which obserueth Temperaunce liueth like a reasonable treature but he that doth not like a bruite beast And Bullinger sayeth vnlesse we liue and leade a temperate 〈◊〉 life we are vtterly vnworthy to beare the name of Christians of the louing bush and therefore that feareth god obeyeth his Prince lawes or regardeth reason alwayes to be considered as wel as of the woman bycause hir bodie is subiect to the vertuous man as the sacred Scriptures most diuinely doe teach the Homilies instructeth Peter Lawne handleth and as experience amongst all good Christians sheweth not seuering themselues as it is too commonly practised but rather louingly the one to embrace the other except a lawful and manifeste cause according to the Scriptures and not liberty do cōstrain it seeing that they be both but one fleshe two immortal soules the creatures that be only endued with reason courage and 〈◊〉 with power Iustice and wisdome that must abide the terrible sentence according to their déedes to whom al creatures as wel heauenly as earthly serue and obeye as long as they vse folowe and practise the workes of the spirit and forsake the wicked workes of the fraile flesh as by Tobias it is euidētly expressed and of Paul the chosen Apostle in the Acts in his Epistles at large declared which briefly in this last part is vttered Prayer not being the leaste for through it as the Prophetes Apostles and Doctours of the Churche doe affirme namely Saint Augustine S. Ambrose Saint Ierome Saint Chrisostome with all other holye fathers of the primatiue Church as wel as of latter time as by our godly and lerned Homilies and pestils dayly redde therin appeareth fleshly affections are thereby not only quenched but also God euen our god which guideth al things is therwith best pleased after the phrase of men as the Scripture doeth by the figure Anthropopathia with Lodouicus Viues I speak it and therfore it shall dayly and nightly he vsed The kingly Prophet Dauid hath so willed it of diuerse in our ●ong deuoutlye and dutifullye deuised in their bookes of ●●●red prayers of all the zealous sort highly to be imbraced the Meditations and selfe talke of Saint Augustine latelye translated And so before meate shall exercise for Hippocrates hath so willed it that labour should goe before meate that the bodie may be made more pure and cleane for the vncleane the more you nourishe them the more you hurt them CHAP. IX In what aire exercise should be of the force thereof whiche is best and how to know it THys bréeding bringing vp and exercise shold be in a good ayre as the child it selfe must be brought vp in when as the ayre can more alter the bodie and spirits than any nourishment or foode as Diodorus Siculus Consiliator Martin Curtez and Peter Martir of Anglera affirmeth séeing that of the matter of it is breathing as Galen proueth which if it shal be euil or infected the liuing creature can not long be sounde as Rhasis Agricola and Benedictus Victorius testifye and as our valiant trauellers finde true in their Nauigations to Perrow China and Cataya Hence may be proued that the aire is not so hurtful as some iudge especiallye for them that be brought vp and accustomed therevnto neyther in Hollande Holdernesse Rumney marsh Brint marsh the Lowes in Lancashire and hundreds in Essex c. for as muche as in all these and many others that I name not as well in forraine soyle as in our own countrey I haue séene as wel sundry olde men as diuerse healthye and lustie persons The wholesomest ayre as all the Philosophers and Phisitions do affirme is that that is of pure substaunce and that when the Sunne ariseth doth soone waxe hot when it setteth doth soone coole as Mont. declareth as is affirmed to be in i● Slemarge in Irelande being the very cause of their greate health and length of life as a hundred sixescore seauenscore yeares and vpwards as they there enformed me the seconde yeare of the raigne of Quéene Mary And as that learned mā Maister Iohn Chaloner hir highnesse secretarie in Ireland ●ā testifye There be diuerse meanes by whiche the holesomnesse of the aire and place may be knowen as be places frée from stāding waters and quickly dispatch of the cloudes of the night as Palladius sayeth and that be likewise from the Sea as Plato sheweth bycause that as the Sea of his owne nature is ●●try and stormie so the inhabiters mindes do alwayes like it 〈◊〉 and flowe Whiche of my selfe to praise or disprayse according to the nature of places to me for the most part vniuersally knowen throughout all this lande I thinke not requisite for sundrye considerations of the wise easily coniectured This onelye I wish

Gouernemente holy discipline and dayly instruction we coulde not learne so muche as to speake our owne language or any tongue in vse muche lesse knowe any Religion Law or dutifulnesse forasmuch as Paule sayth the Faith being the substance of things looked for afore defined deuided commeth generally by the Sense of Hearing an instrument to the reasonable office belonging and hearing by the word of truth therefore Clemens Alex teacheth that there is no knowledge without faith nor faith without knowledge Which must be vnderstood by the sight soūd of the Caracters or Letters forelearned or by visiōs or inspiratiōs answerable to the inuētion vnderstāding of ech reasonable person in euery Nation as of the learned and godly Nowel in the latter parte of his Catechismes is verye well noted out of the word Loqui to speake and singularly well approued of Maister Ralfe Leuer in his Witcraft and lately founde true by experience in the Brute people brought in by Captain Frobisher except it be miraculously But that hapneth not to all persons neyther at all times nor in all places for if it had or did at anye time or in any age the Heauenly Writ would not haue said againste the Godlesse Libertines detestable Southsayers and dissembling destinators To them that knocke in Faith shal be opened but whether they knocke in beliefe or not they shall enter It woulde not haue sayde againste the olde Arians newe Familie of Loue and late Anabaptists wherof some had grace to recant of late yeres at Paules Crosse thorough the godly Doctrine and wise perswasion of a right gracious Pastor in the Churche of God euerye where worthilye known to them that beleeue and that be baptised is saluation belonging It woulde not haue sayde against Loyterers Roags and all euill doers to them that do well of the housholde of Faithe is the Kingdome of Heauen to them that do euill Hel fire Hence manifestlye appeareth the error of Origen although some defende him in that he taught al men shoulde be saued as I haue hearde some ignorauntlye affirme leauing no matter subiecte for the triumph of Gods Iustice Hence likewise the Scripture proueth that Lucifer for pride and ambition with his adherentes were into perpetual torments condemned wishing that all children were hereof instructed that they might no lesse regarde the meane and refraine the extreame than some of the elder sorte wantyng wisedome grace due consideration do little estéeme or auoyd Not knowing belike or not regarding Tobias words to hys sonne how that of Pride beganne all destruction neyther yet the confession of thousandes at their examinations and execution howbeit in the ages following it shal at large be handled if that already here sayd may not suffise and Opius law deliuered that teacheth a meane to be kepte in aparrell vnlesse such sumptuousnesse abroade where it néedeth not and attyre that ought not be not forthwith amended For hereby doubtlesse Vice is furthered Hospitalitie hindered Liberalitie condemned Charitie neglected and abilitie to serue the Prince when néede shall be diminished But it woulde haue saide whether they do well or euill the euerlasting ioy is determined These things the holy Ghoste hath not vttered bicause the truth cannot be againste it selfe and that is the light Lampe which we are bound to folow or else the Apostle would not haue saide that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of Heauen Be not deceiued herein saith he to the Corinthians Galathians and Ephesians And this that hée spake as he spake it doubtlesse by the spirite of God so the faithfull in all their doings are to consider it forasmuche as all the workers of iniquitie he willeth to departe from hym And truth it is Babes otherwise howe shoulde it cause the wicked and disobedient from euill to refraine and to tourne vnto the Lord or comfort the faithful iust and honest to continue in vertue and earnest zeale of godlinesse as the godlye haue alwayes done if vertue hath not his reward here and in Heauen and the vice his punishment both vpon earth and in hel And this is the Catholike beléefe that they that haue done well shal go into life euerlasting they that haue done euill into hell fire CHAP. XLII Wherein a good common weale consisteth and howe the Gentiles as well as Christians hadde allurementes and meanes to drawe menne therevnto A question why Christ suffered That God is no lesse iust than he is mercifull How Princes take their regimente from God in that they punishe the euill and aduance the good The fruites of the Spirit declared The works of the flesh desciphered Our sauiors sermon vpon the mount touched That the Morall lawe is continuall and in some part the Iudicall but not at al the Ceremoniall How al men be created to do good works A briefe conclusion vppon the drift of this whole worke That euery Country is to liue within the limites of their owne lawes THe Gentiles as wel as the Gréekes and the Romanes kept this course in al their gouernments as maye appeare by the lawes of Solon Licurgus and Pompilius with infinite other nations for Solon affirmed constantly to the Athenians that a good commō wealth consisted in these two in preferring the good and in punishing euil The Romanes saith Tullie founded Temples in memorial hereof in such sorte as none
