of their Prince and parents For if it be a commendable point and duetie for a man to aske his Parents Tutor Master and Prince leaue to trauaile then is it the office of a man to desire the same at the hands of God who is the Souereigne of all those For without his pleasure and consent alasse where are our motions to any good acte or the meanes by which they are aduanced or preserued So that though this be the last considered of vs yet is it the first and best of all things to be respected and performed For since knowledge learning experience honour health prosperitie and all other blessings be the mediate or immediate gifts of God it is a foolishnes for any to perswade and blesse their owne actions without consulting with God the eternall reason that guideth all things to their proper endes yea the dereigled Trauailers to labour in vaine and for a punishment to returne home no better than when they went foorth and peraduenture in many things worse For as the obseruance of his reuealed will encourageth man to goe forward in all godlinesse and commendable actions so the neglect thereof maketh him taste of his secret iudgements prepared for the carelesse and wilfull breakers of his commaund and will Hitherto concerning the generall dueties before trauaile In the interim of trauaile there likewise resteth sixe generall obseruations of these Trauailers for the aduancement of their peregrination Whereof the first is to attempt nothing without consulting with their conscience and imploring the fauour of God that euery action may haue a promise of blessing and acceptation aswell among those with whom such shall liue as of their owne Prince and Countrey when happily they shall returne The neglect whereof openeth the gate to infinite dangers and euils For the feare of God which is an adiunct to this duetie serueth for a curbe to restraine all improuident violent courses that carie men into inconueniences and for a guide to aduise them of all things warrantable honourable and pleasing in the sight of God men and therefore it is requirable that these diligently euery day priuately conferre and consult with God in their spirits and prayers made vnto him The first thus regarding the stay of the soule so the second office respecteth the good health of the bodie whereof Trauailers are not to be carelesse improuident for he that dependeth on fortune exposeth himselfe to many deceits perils losse of time I therfore obserue three preuenters of mischiefes inconueniences to the safety health of Trauailers namely Diet Trauailing or Exercise and moderation of Passions First let the diet of euery man be so moderate as neither the ayre wherein such liue afflict them either with exceeding heate or cold the which in some countreys Trauailers shal meete with but by little and little accustome their bodies to endure the hardnes of the Countrey clime which to contrary bodies is very dangerous suddainly For which cause Auicen the notable naturalist auouched that if a Scythian should violētly in a very short space be trāsported into India either he would suddainly fall sicke or die the which he would not necessarily bee so be it he tooke time in trauaile by land or sea Neither let any continue long in those places where the aire is pestiferous vnlesse their bodies can away therwith For which cause the Cynicke Diogenes reioyced after his banishment that he made a good change to be exiled from Sinope a most piercing and sharpe ayre about the confines of the Euxine sea to liue afterwards in Greece And lastly let the diet of all men for eating drinking sleeping clothing and such like be answerable to euery ones nature that such may alwaies keep themselues in one temper if possibly Winter and Summer the which is the greatest preseruatiue of mans health The second preuenter of inconuenience of health is trauailing from place to place and dayly exercise when such are abiding in any place with moderation and respect For ouer-much labour distill the vitall and animal spirits which is most dangerous For the trauailing from place to place sixe things are to bee regarded First to haue in iourneying if neede require faithfull and honest guides and companions and in speciall cases let such change rayment with their guides Secondly let them of two wayes take the least dangerous and most passeable so as alwayes the neerest way is not the best to bee chosen Hereof the Germanes haue a saying Gut vneg vnih vnar nie krumb and wee haue a Prouerbe not much vnlike The farther way about the neerer way home Thirdly in long iourneys to be prouided of meat and drinke and such like prouisions Therefore those that passe thorow the deserts of Arabia Tartarie Persia Scythia and the Carouans of Swecia and Muscouie make large prouisions and for some passages as in the sea of Sande in Africa and other places men are guided by the Compasse standing in need of Pilots for the passage Fourthly to make prouision against the extreamities of heate and colde that in some places are outragious in which the seasons of the yeere are to be respected Wherefore he that will trauaile thorow Swecia and Muscouie on sleddes vnlesse he shall rub his nosthrils with the snowe and yee to recall and settle his motiue spirits he shall be in extreame danger to lose them thorow the excesse of colde And in the yeere 1498 of seuenty thousand Turkes that made an inrode into Muscouie fourtie thousand suddenly were frozen to death Whereupon the Turkes verily beleeue that the Polonians and Muscouites are defenced by the celestiall powers No person is able to trauell out of doores in the Troglodites land without shooes the ground is so scalding hote insomuch that they roste their meat by putting the same into a brasse vessell and setting it in the Sunne And in the kingdom of Naples and Champain the heat is so great and ayre so pestiferous during Iune Iuly and August till the first raine of September that the better sort will not trauaile though the King commaund them from home Let these suffice for Trauailers to beware thereof vnlesse vpon vrgent necessitie and with good respect Fiftly to be prouided against the rage of wilde beastes and of robbers the which by good companie is the safest way alwayes Lastly to arriue early at their Inne or baite and to looke that the chamber where such lodge be well seated and defended to haue in their chamber a Tinder boxe to light fire or candle and finally vnlesse need require to dissemble departure from the Inne Of this last a man cannot bee too carefull The third and last preuenter of sickenesse and censurer of health is passion which is quadruplex according to the foure complexions generall of men namely Mirth Sorow Anger and Patience the which remedie or continue euery distemperature of the mind And as per antiperistasin bodily discords are tuned
