and_o therefore_o as_o say_v the_o same_o macrobius_n in_o the_o three_o book_n the_o first_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o observe_v at_o the_o table_n be_v to_o weigh_v the_o estimation_n and_o

minister_v crabbed_a and_o unpleasant_a talk_n but_o rather_o profitable_a and_o delightsome_a question_n ¶_o the_o first_o chapter_n contain_v five_o several_a question_n first_o therefore_o and_o foremost_a this_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o that_o the_o air_n or_o meat_n be_v more_o necessary_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o it_o seem_v of_o the_o twain_o that_o meat_n be_v more_o necessary_a since_o that_o be_v more_o necessary_a which_o supply_v that_o substance_n which_o be_v lose_v and_o which_o may_v be_v a_o member_n or_o part_n of_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n constan_n of_o which_o nature_n be_v our_o meat_n according_a to_o the_o assertion_n of_o avicen_n but_o indeed_o constantinus_n be_v of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n say_v that_o air_n be_v more_o necessary_a to_o the_o body_n prove_v the_o same_o both_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n by_o reason_n thus_o life_n consist_v in_o natural_a heat_n because_o natural_a heat_n be_v the_o begin_v of_o life_n wherefore_o that_o thing_n which_o temper_v natural_a heat_n retain_v it_o in_o the_o natural_a temperature_n be_v more_o necessary_a but_o the_o air_n which_o by_o way_n of_o breathe_n we_o draw_v in_o be_v of_o such_o sort_n wherefore_o it_o be_v more_o necessary_a by_o experience_n thus_o if_o a_o man_n be_v sudden_o bring_v out_o of_o a_o stink_v close_a prison_n first_o he_o desire_v to_o take_v the_o fresh_a air_n and_o afterward_o call_v for_o meat_n and_o drink_v but_o against_o the_o reason_n first_o allege_v it_o may_v be_v answer_v negative_o for_o life_n consist_v in_o two_o point_n the_o one_o be_v a_o beginning_n somewhat_o far_o of_o as_o restore_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v and_o the_o conservation_n of_o all_o the_o member_n and_o part_n in_o respect_n of_o which_o the_o nourish_a of_o natural_a heat_n be_v most_o necessary_a which_o be_v immediate_o and_o principal_o maintain_v by_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o air_n and_o therefore_o air_n be_v more_o necessary_a to_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n for_o that_o it_o respect_v the_o life_n principal_o and_o immediate_o second_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v which_o of_o the_o two_o meat_n or_o drink_v be_v more_o necessary_a unto_o life_n to_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o meat_n be_v although_o that_o drink_n be_v common_o more_o desire_v than_o meat_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o be_v that_o that_o be_v more_o necessary_a which_o restore_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v lose_v then_o that_o which_o serve_v only_o to_o convey_v the_o juice_n about_o all_o the_o body_n but_o meat_n be_v ordain_v to_o restore_v the_o part_n and_o drink_v to_o carry_v the_o meat_n about_o the_o body_n wherefore_o the_o conclusion_n be_v manifest_a and_o that_o drink_v be_v more_o greedy_o desire_v the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o drink_n delay_v the_o vehemency_n of_o natural_a heat_n in_o which_o respect_n it_o be_v more_o necessary_a unto_o life_n then_o meat_n as_o be_v the_o air_n also_o thus_o drink_n have_v two_o office_n first_o it_o convey_v the_o meat_n unto_o all_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o be_v meat_n a_o thing_n more_o necessary_a than_o drink_n second_o it_o mitigate_v the_o natural_a heat_n and_o preserve_v it_o in_o the_o just_a temperature_n and_o be_v thereby_o more_o necessary_a than_o meat_n wherefore_o any_o live_a creature_n can_v long_o live_v without_o meat_n than_o drink_n three_o this_o question_n may_v be_v demand_v weather_n evel_a air_n or_o evil_a meat_n do_v more_o hurt_v the_o body_n whereunto_o it_o may_v be_v absolute_o answer_v that_o evil_a air_n hurt_v more_o for_o that_o it_o be_v more_o noisome_a unto_o the_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o fowntaine_n of_o natural_a heat_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n howbeit_o we_o may_v use_v a_o distinction_n herein_o that_o a_o thing_n may_v do_v harm_n after_o diverse_a manner_n of_o way_n first_o if_o it_o touch_v some_o noble_a and_o principal_a part_n and_o the_o other_o thing_n do_v not_o so_o second_o if_o it_o alter_v it_o often_o time_n and_o it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v avoid_v three_o if_o it_o touch_v it_o immediate_o and_o by_o these_o three_o mean_n éevill_n air_n hurt_v more_o than_o evil_a meat_n for_o it_o touch_v a_o principal_a part_n and_o it_o be_v often_o draw_v in_o and_o it_o touch_v the_o part_n immediate_o four_o a_o thing_n may_v hurt_v the_o more_o because_o it_o make_v a_o strong_a impression_n five_o if_o it_o continnue_n there_o long_o and_o cleave_v long_o time_n unto_o the_o â—â—â—ber_n and_o by_o these_o last_o mean_n corrupt_a meat_n eat_v aâ—â—â—_n more_o than_o naughty_a air_n draw_v in_o â—â—urthly_a this_o demand_n may_v be_v move_v whether_o meat_n â—â—â—pe_v do_v more_o comfort_v the_o body_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v 〈◊〉_d lack_n of_o meat_n do_v more_o grieve_v the_o body_n then_o lack_v of_o sleep_n and_o thereby_o conclude_v that_o meat_n be_v more_o necessary_a than_o sleep_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o for_o the_o sleep_n restore_v not_o that_o which_o be_v lose_v neither_o appease_v the_o vehemency_n of_o natural_a heat_n from_o work_v upon_o the_o natural_a moisture_n which_o
