suchlike_a thing_n avoid_v and_o be_v temperate_a and_o moderate_a in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o this_o will_v be_v a_o good_a rule_n to_o observe_v against_o this_o disease_n but_o in_o the_o fit_a of_o the_o gout_n you_o may_v eat_v meat_n once_o a_o day_n free_o you_o need_v not_o refrain_v any_o good_a diet_n no_o more_o than_o at_o other_o time_n i_o shall_v not_o stand_v to_o

of_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o advise_v to_o that_o as_o may_v do_v good_a for_o a_o master_n or_o mistress_n my_o mind_n be_v that_o people_n as_o be_v not_o

the_o best_a of_o your_o skill_n in_o provide_v good_a jelly_n be_v proper_a sometime_o make_v after_o this_o manner_n take_v two_o calves-feet_n and_o pu_o they_o into_o three_o quart_n of_o water_n

and_o it_o may_v be_v eat_v either_o warm_a or_o cold_a according_a to_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n but_o in_o cold_a wether_n warm_v it_o a_o little_a this_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n in_o a_o

for_o that_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o get_v strength_n sometime_o eat_v against_o stomach_n do_v procure_v a_o better_a appetite_n against_o the_o next_o meal_n for_o those_o that_o be_v weak_a it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o boil_v or_o roast_v their_o meat_n overmuch_o i_o be_o sure_a for_o consumptive_a people_n flesh_n overroast_a be_v not_o good_a but_o if_o you_o love_v not_o your_o meat_n with_o the_o gravy_n in_o it_o than_o you_o have_v better_o stew_v it_o and_o put_v in_o sippet_n of_o white-bread_n so_o eat_v it_o for_o then_o the_o liquor_n be_v the_o best_a of_o it_o and_o meat_n thus_o dress_v be_v strengthen_v if_o you_o be_v dispose_v to_o eat_v fowl_n it_o be_v proper_a to_o have_v they_o well_o roast_v or_o boil_v also_o fish_n if_o it_o be_v not_o well_o dress_v be_v not_o good_a be_v subject_a to_o rise_v in_o the_o stomach_n and_o that_o do_v cause_v a_o loathe_n of_o food_n one_o good_a way_n to_o help_v the_o weak_a be_v to_o study_v new_a thing_n for_o often_o change_v of_o diet_n be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o procure_v a_o appetite_n and_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a business_n of_o good_a cook_n and_o nurse_n i_o will_v advise_v you_o to_o eat_v free_o in_o the_o day_n but_o at_o night_n be_v moderate_a for_o than_o you_o have_v more_o freedom_n to_o drink_v either_o wine_n or_o strong_a drink_n for_o that_o be_v not_o hurtful_a provide_v you_o drink_v not_o to_o excess_n but_o small_a beer_n be_v certain_o the_o best_a thing_n you_o can_v take_v to_o bring_v the_o gout_n on_o you_o therefore_o if_o you_o love_v the_o gout_n drink_v

in_o bodily_a health_n but_o yet_o in_o great_a torment_a pain_n with_o a_o leg_n or_o a_o arm_n that_o the_o very_a anguish_n of_o the_o pain_n shall_v cause_v they_o to_o cry_v aloud_o till_o they_o be_v almost_o spend_v and_o yet_o in_o this_o condition_n they_o be_v persuade_v to_o refrain_v from_o eat_v or_o drink_v of_o the_o best_a though_o then_o they_o have_v most_o need_v of_o it_o to_o
