it for a souerayne notabylyte who y t eteth ofte mylk fysshe ofte katche therof a lepre or a whyte scabbe Also oft to vse hye coloured wyne mylke togyd brīgeth a man to both lepre and scabbe here none suffyseth of qualyte of metes as to the quantyte vnderstond that thy mete ne thy drynke sholde be no more but as thy kyndly helthe myghte ouercom it elles thy body shall wast thy vertues vexe feble And for the quantyte of metes drynkes may not certenly be spewed loke how thou felyst it hath done the moost good and suche quātyte vse ¶ Ferdermore vnderstonde that no man sholde ete anone after his exercyse ne anone after he were bathed but fyrste rest hym a whyle so that he hungre thenne whan he wyll ete yf he be a ryche man set tofore hym many meetes of whiche y t one is better than that other For a fecysyon sayth it shal better saue hym beter nourysshe hym skyll why for mete y t is taken with delyte the stomacke hugely coueyteth hastely katcheth longe holdeth well defyeth that mete that is best defyeth is moost nourysshynge for mannes body Truly other mete y t is not defyed is taken with fulsōnes defyeth not well for why a man desyre more moton thē a capon y e moton shall rather be eten so of all other metes But there y t is moche dystaunce in qualyte of metes we may not doo thus also beware y t it be none erraunt appetyte as in women y t ben with chylde though it otherwhyle be ye shall it not alway be denyed Ferthermore as Galyen sayth y t at one mele mē sholde not ete dyuers metes therfore at morowe ete but brede alone at euen flesshe alone for whan two dyuers metes ben take at one male of thē come two euylles one in eyther by it selfe a nother in them both togyder in themselfe for then one trauayleth to torne in to grete and heuy humours and that other in to subtyll and lyght in them both for if subtyll mete go before it is fyrst defyed and goeth forth and draweth with hȳ the grete metes vndefyed and yf the grete metes goo fyrste to fore than the subtyll mete is not medefyed may not for the grete go forth so it wexeth corrupte And whiche of these maners euer it be alway it is euyll but more euyll it is that the subtyll folowe the grete for the chaufynge and chaungynge in to kynde of raunes may be holpen but the chaungynge in to corrupcyon neuer or selden and of wonder harde is holpen ¶ And therto accordeth Galyen a fycysyon other doctours but neuertheles peraduenture a contraryous custome longe vsed may do awaye the corrupcyon ¶ Also wete well that vertue of defyenge is ofte broken whan rawe mete is put on halfe soden for th one rawnes sheueth out the other so the halfe soden is corrupte Moreouer that no man ete so moche y t the stomak be euyed therwith ne that his appetyte cease But who y t vseth grete exercyse and to moche selde and therwith eteth vnruly and contyneth it he shall dye by sodeyn dethe or shall fele wycked syknes ye thoughe his mete were ryght good for by cause his degestyon is corrupte therfore kepe well thy stomak from to moche mete drynke And it so myshap ony tyme anone with water and oyle of suche other spue it out anone and than slepe and yf thou may not slepe walke softely vp and downe and .xxiiii. houres ete not after ne drynke not than ete a lytell with a draught of good clene wyne so the wyne be not to grete ne of hyghe colour on the thyrde daye haue some exercyse be bathed than ete a lytell after after slepe thou may than vse this electuare dyatryon as sayth a fycysyon Two cause be of sykenesses y t is dyuerse metes longe syttȳge moche etȳge of dyuerse metes for of them ben gendred dyuers humours some good some euyll longe syttynge for then the mete y t is fyrste take is defyed or the laste begynne to defye and so that is defyed draweth with hym to y e lyuer y t is vndefyed and so these two ben cause of grete sykenesses Also as olde wyse men saynge māshold neuer ete his fyll at one mele in takynge dyuers metes for as a wyseman sayth no thynge is worse than to multeply metes so to sytte longe therat for thy he sayth y t men in olde tyme were satysfyed at morowe w t brede alone therw t they sayd resonably the more mete sholde be towarde euyn but the custome were contrary for a uycenne sayth y t hole men sholde better ete at ayenst nyght then on morowe for the kyndly hete is closed wtin thē gadereth about y e bowelles netheles flewmatyk mē ete not to cold for they nede but lytel exercise to meue her kȳdly hete whiche mo weete by the morow But now the moost vsage is here agayne amonge many men it is foūde more holsō to ete by day then by nyght parauenture y t is skyll of custome And therfore thus sayth a wyse man short souper lyght souper is seldē greuous grete soupers noyen as leches teche we rede it ofte openly also as a uycenne sayth bytwene two etynges .xi. houres to be is ꝓfytable so ete thryes in two dayes as to daye twyes and to morowe but ones and so to contynue forth so y t yf errour fall in twyes etynge and soo agayn warde for that one must be amēded by that other sythe it is harde to lyue without errour in moreouer vnderstonde that men that haue good vnderstondynge etynge for they wolde lyue but they that gone by flesshelynes wolde lyue for to ete ontrary to nature ¶ And wytte thou wel that too a coleryk mannes stomacke whan the vertue is stronge and grete hete greate metes ben good As be of porke grete venyson grete bestly fysshes rough grete brede salte mete flesshe halfe soden grete myghty coloured wyne yf y e hete of the stomacke be feble yf he haue but lytell exercyse y e metes aforsayd wolde moch noye hym-but to suche a stomacke gyue subtyll metes as chekens small fysshes of stony rennȳge water rere egges brede well baken well soured small wyne of clene oryent colour not depe suche other ¶ But these metes sholde be corrupte of an hote stomacke yf the vertu dygestyffe be in y e mene tyme of dyetyng as capons hennes partryches suche other Also and gouernaūce of helth fle all cessyuous metes namely these but yf it be for a medycyne fle also al frutes and all herbes y t ben not good as these namely cole wortes letuse for they make malȳcolyous blode Galyē sayth y t my fader euer forbad me y t I sholde ete no newe frutes grene yf
