of our earthly bodies Plato in whose mouth the Bees as in their hiues did make their hunny combs as foreintimating his sweete flowing eloquence he weighing with himselfe that thraldome the soul was in being in the body and how it was affected and as it were infected with the contagion therof in his Phaedrus as I remember disputing of the Idaeaes of the mind said that our bodies were the prisons and bridewels of our soules wherein they lay as manicled and fettered in Giues Yea further hee could auouch in his Cratylus and also in his Georgias Socrates hauing brought forth a speach to Callides out of Euripides 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to liue is to die and to dye is to liue he saith there that our body is the very graue of the soule 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith hee 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And sure it is that whiles this mind of ours hath his abode in this darkesome dungeoÌ„ this vile mansion of our body it can neuer act his part well till it step vpon the heauenly stage it will be like â—o in Ouid whoe being turned into a heeâ—er when shee could not expresse her minde to Inacus her father in words Littera-pro verbis quampes in puluere duxit Corporis indicium mutati triste peregit Her foot did speake as on the sand she ranged How she poore soule was froÌ„ her selfe estraÌ„ged Our soule in the bodie though it be not so blind as a Batt yet is it like an Owle or Batt before the rayes of Phaebus al dimmed and dazeled it sees as through a lattissewindow Being freed from this prison once hauing flitted from this ruinous â—ennament this mud-wald cottage it is a Linceus within a Molewarpe without it is an allâ—eyde Argus within an one-â—y de Cyclops without a beautifull Nireus within an Aethiopian Thersites without a hie soaring Egle within a heauy Struthio Camelus an Aestridge who hath winges as hee in the Hieroglyphicks witnesseth non propter volatuÌ„ sed cursum not for flying but to helpe her running yea as sparkles hid in embers do not cast forth their radiant light and the sunne invelloped in a thicke mistie cloud doth not illuminate the center with his goulden Tresses so this coelestiall fire our soule whiles it remaines in the lap of our earthly Prometheus this masse of ours it must needs be curtained and ouer-shadowed with a palpable darkenesse which doth ouer-cast a sable night ouer our vnderstanding especially when in the bodie there is a current of infectious humours which doe flow ouer the veines and ingrosse the limpid spirites in their arteries the minde must needes bee as it were ore-flowne with a Deucalions floode and bee quirkened as a sillie toyling Leander in the Hellespout What made the minde of Orestes so out of temper that he kild his owne mother but the bodily Crasis what made Heracleitus die of a dropsie hauing rowlde himselfe in beastes ordure what made Socrates hauing drunke the Cicuta at Athens to giue his vltimum vale to the world but that what caus'd that redoubted famous captaine Themistocles hauing drunke Bulls blood to take as we say his long iourney to the Elysian feilds and many others to haue com'd vnto their long home as may be seene in the ancient registers of time and many to haue beene distraught and frantick the distemperature no doubt the euill habit of the bodie where-with the soule hath copulatioÌ„ Plotin the great platonist he blushed often that his soule did harbour in so base an â—nne as his body was so Porphyry affirmes in his life because as he said in an other place his soule must needes bee affected with the contagious qualities incident vnto his bodiâ— The cunningst swimmer that euer was Delius himselfe could not shew his art nor his equal stroke in the mud a caÌ„dle in the lanterne can yeld but a glimmering light through an impure and darksome horne the warelike Steed cannot fet his friskes take his carreers and shew his curuets being pent vp in a narrow room so it is with the princely soule while the bodie is her mansion said he but this belongs to an other Thesis and some thing before concerning the souls excellency hauing taken her flight from this darksome cage more neare vnto the scope at which wee must aime Heare what the Poet sayth in his xv of the Metamorphos Quolque magis 〈◊〉 sunt qui non corpora tantum Verum anâ—mos etiam valeant mutare liquoâ—es u◠〈◊〉 〈◊〉 est 〈◊〉 Salmacis vndâ— A Ethiâ—pesque 〈◊〉 quos 〈◊〉 faâ—cibus hausit 〈◊〉 furis aut patitur mirum grauitate soporem It is a wonderment that waters 〈◊〉 Transsorme the members and the mind of man Who kenneth not th'vncleane Salmacian well The 〈◊〉 where sun-burnt Mauritanians dwell Which cause a frensie being gulped downe Or strike the senses with a sleeping swoone Wee must not imagine the mind to bee passible beeing altogether immateriall that it selfe is affected with any of these corporall thinges but onely in respect of the instruments which are the haÌ„d-maids of the soule as if the spirits bee inflamed the passages of the humours daÌ„med vp the braine stuffed with smoakie fumes or any phlegmaticke matter the blood too hote and too thicke as is vsuall in the Seythians and those in the septeÌ„trionall parts who are of all men endowed with the least portion of witt and pollicy and because these kind of people doe as it were crosse the hie way of my invention I will treat a little of them neither beeside that which we haue in hand because it will confirme the fore-writen words of Xenophon concerning wine Whom doe wee euer reade of more to quaffe and carouse more to vse strong drinkes then the Scythians and who more blockish and deuoide of witt and reason nay there was neuer any learned man but onely Anacharsis was an inbred there which want no doubt is caused by their great intemperance For all writers well nie agree in this that they will as the Poet saith ad diurnam stellam or strenué pro 〈◊〉 potare drinke till their eyes stare like two blazing starres as we say in our prouerbe Athenaeâ—s that singular scholler of so manifold reading after hee had rehearsed Herod his history of Cleomeâ—ns saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. the Lacâ—demoniaÌ„s when they wold drink in lauish cups extraordinarily they did vse this word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to imitate the Scythians which also he notes out of Chaemeleon Heracleotes in his booke 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when also they should haue said to the Pincerna 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 powre in they vsed this word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Howsoeuer we read of some particulars it is manifest if we peruse the histories that the most of them are the greatest bouzers and bussards in the world they had rather drinke out their eyes then that the wormes shoulde eate them out after their death as Sir Thomas More iâ—asts
will endamage and impaire their healths infect the conduit pipes of their limpid spirits what will dull and stupefie their quicker intelligence nay disable all the faculties both of soule and body as instance mought be giuen of many to them that haue had but a meere glympse into the histories and ancient records of many dish moungers who running into excesse of riot haue like fatall Parcas cut in two the lines of their owne liues as Philoxenus the Dythirambiok poet of whome Athenaeus speaks Deipnos 8 who deuoured at Syracusa a whole Polypus of two cubits long saue onely the head of the fish at one meale whome being deadly sicke of the crudity the PhisicioÌ„ told that he could not possibly liue aboue seuen hours whose wouluish appetite not with standing would not stint it selfe euen in that extremety but he vttered these wordes the more to intimate his vultur-like insaciate paunch Since that Charon and Atropos are comd to call me away from my delicies I thinke it best to leaue nothing behind me wherefore let me eat the residue of the Polypus who hauing eaten it expir'd who had the name of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by Chrysâ—ppus as Athenaeus records and of others he was called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of Aristotle And what of others who although they did not so speedilie by ignorance of their estate curtaile their owne dayes by vntimely death yet notwithstanding they haue liu'd as deade vnto the world and their soules dead vnto them selues Dyonisyus Heracleota that rauenous gourmandyzing Harpy and insatiable draine of all pleasant liquors was growne so pursie that his farnes would not suffer him to set his breath beeing in continuall feare to bee stifeled although others affirme that hee easily could with the strong blast of his breath haue turned about the sayles of a winde-mill Whose soule by his selfe ignorance not knowing what repast was most conuenient for hiâ— body was pent vp and as it were fettred iâ— these his corps as in her dungeon So Alexander King of Aegypt was so grose and fat that hee was faine to be vpheld by two men And a many moe by their 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by excessiue eating drinking more vpon meere ignorance theâ— rebellion against nature physicall diet and discretion did make their soules like the fatned sheepe whereof Iohannes Leo relates which he see in Egypt some of whose tailes weighed 80. pound and some 150 pound by which waight their bodies were immoueable vnlesse their tailes like traines were caried vp in wheel-barrowes Or like the fatned hogs Scalliger mentions that could not moue for fat and were so senselesse that mise made nests in their buttocks they not once feeling them But those which I whilome named and millions besides neuer come to the full period of their daies dying soone because as Seneca saith they knowe not that they liue by deaths and are ignorant what receit of foode into the body whose constitution they are as ignorant of also will bring endammagement both to it and to the heauenly infused soule For the body this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is requisit that as the meager one is to be fed with spare diet so the massier and more gyantly body must be maintained with more large and lauish diet For it is not consonant to reason that Alexander Macedo Augustus Cesar who were but littlemen as Petrarch saith and so low-staur'd Vlâ—sses should haue equall diet in quantity with Milo Hercules Aiax and such as Atheneus makes mention of as Astâ—damas Herodorus the first of them being so capacious stomacht that hee eat as much alone as was prepared forix men and the latter Herodorus a strong-sided Trum peter who was 3. els and a halfe long and could blow in two trumpets at once of whome Atheneus speakes These might well farce and cram their mawes with far more alimente because their ventricles cels veines and other organons of their bodies were far more ample and spatious And aâ— aine it is soueraigne in this regard because in the ful streame of appetite or brauery many wil take vpon ignorance rather the sumtuous dish prepared for vitellius by his brother which one dish amounted to aboue seuen thousand eight hundred and xii pounds perchance a ranke poyson to their natures then Estur and 〈◊〉 2. sauoury and holsome hearbs which poorâ— Hecale set on the table as a sallet before hun gry Theseus the best dish of meat she could present vnto him a great deale peraduenture more conducible vnto their healtheâ— But they are as ignorant what they take as Cambles was who being giuen to Gastrimargisme as Athenaeus relates in the forementioned booke in the night did eat vp his owne wise and in the morning finding her hand in his deuouring iawes slew him selfe the fact being so hainous and not worthy as also they are pilgrims and strangers in the knowledge of their bodily estate which euer or often is an occasion of ouer-cloying their ventricles with such meates as are an vtter ruin and downefall to their healthes as ill or worse then Toxicum for although they do not efâ—soones inforce the fatall end yet in a short progresse of time they are as sure pullies to draw on their inexpected destenies Without this knowledge of our bodily nature we are like to crasie barkes yet ballist with prizelesse marchandise which are tossed too and froo vpon the maine of ignorance so long till at length we bee shattered against the huge rocke of Intemperance and soe loose our richest fraught which is our soule This ought euer to controule and curbbe in our vnrulie appetites it ought to be like the Poets Automedon to raine our fond desires in which raigne in 〈◊〉 for as Seneca saith sunt quaedam noâ—itura impotranâ—ibus c. so wee may say sunt quaeâ— appetentibus as there be many thinges which are obnoxious to the asker if it chance he obtaine them so are there many nutriments as dangerous to man that babishly couets theÌ„ for if he square not his diet according to the temper of his body in choise of such fare as may banish and expell contagion and violency from nature or be a speciall preseruatiue in her spotlesse and vntainted perfection meats are soe far from holding on the race of his life as that will rather hasten it downe far sooner vnto the hemispheare of death theÌ„ he expected A cholericke man therefore by this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 knowing himselfe to be ouerpoizd with it predominancy na but euen foreseeing his corporall nature to haue a propension or inclination to this humour hee must wisely defeate and waine his appetite of all such dainty morsels though the more delicious and toothsome and delude his longing thirst of al such honey flowing meates and hote wines as are foison to his distemperature and which in tract of time will

But according to phisick there bee two kindes of melancholy the one sequestred from all admixtion the thickest driest portion of blood not adust which is called naturall and runs in the vessels of the blood to be an aliment vnto the parts which are me laÌ„cholickly qualified as the bones grisles sinewes c. the other is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is a combust black choler mixed with saltish phlegmaticke humor or cholerick or the worst sanguine If you desire to know this complection by their habit and guise they are of a blacke swarthy visage dull-paced sad countenanced harbouring hatred long in their breastes hardly incensed with anger and if angry long ore this passion be appeased and mitigated crafty headed constant in their determination fixing their eies vsually on the earth while a man recites a tale vnto them they will picke their face bite their thumbes their eares will bee soiourners like Cleomenes in Plutarch animus est in 〈◊〉 their wit is a wool gathering for laughing they be like a most to Anaxagoras of whom Aelian sayes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hee neuer laught they be much giuen to a solein monastich life neuer welnie delighted with consort very subiect to passions hauing a droppe of wordes and a flood of cogitations vsing that of Pythagoras 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 they are colde in their externall partes of a kinde nature to them with whome they haue long conuerst and though they seeme for some dislike to alienate their mindes from their friend yet are they constant in affection But for the first kind of melancholy it is euer the worthier and better This they call the electuary and cordiall of the minde a restoratiue conseruice of the memory the nurse of contemplation the pretious balme of witte and pollicy the enthousiasticall breath of poetry the foison of our best phantasies the sweete sleepe of the senses the fountaine of sage aduise and good purueiance and yet for all

much vse of them but as our poâ—ticall Episodeious as Virgil hath in his Culex whereof Ioseph Scalliger in his booke entituled Maronis appendix and in his comment vpon these words inter quas impia Lotos impia in the Culex saith all these the Poets descriptions althogh they be nothing but Parerga notwithstanding they fill vp the greatest roome of the pages of this poem so that there is the least portion of that which is most competent and requisite So in Catullus description of his Puluinar Catul. writes most of the complaint of Ariadne of the three fatal Ladies but of God Hymen and of mariage scarce any whit at al so in this Culex saith he are many wordes writ in the praise of the rurall life the shep hards happines the limming out of plants c. but of the Gnat he speaks least of all for saith he in pictura tam tenui nisi parerga adhibueris quid dignum oculis proponi potest in so little a toy vnlesse there were obiters what would be worthe vewing which say ing may not much be
