if_o a_o man_n eat_v and_o drink_v but_o spare_o with_o a_o perfect_a appetite_n the_o stomach_n nature_n laboratory_n will_v make_v better_a nourishment_n thereof_o than_o it_o can_v of_o the_o

if_o the_o quantity_n be_v not_o too_o great_a in_o this_o case_n abstinence_n have_v be_v find_v by_o experience_n to_o cure_v most_o disease_n that_o have_v proceed_v from_o superfluity_n if_o not_o

be_v destroy_v with_o a_o wing_a speed_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n that_o there_o be_v so_o few_o either_o man_n woman_n or_o child_n in_o perfect_a health_n where_o can_v you_o find_v a_o

the_o good_a dame_n will_v be_v angry_a if_o her_o servant_n delay_v to_o eat_v their_o food_n whilst_o hot._n but_o the_o continual_a eat_n of_o hot_a food_n from_o the_o womb_n have_v deprave_v

of_o great_a antiquity_n that_o ale_n be_v best_a that_o be_v make_v after_o this_o manner_n one_a that_o the_o liquor_n or_o water_n that_o you_o put_v to_o your_o malt_n be_v make_v boiling-hot_a

will_v not_o do_v so_o well_o for_o it_o do_v not_o only_o hurt_v the_o pure_a spirituous_a part_n of_o the_o malt_n but_o will_v six_o or_o harden_v the_o malt_n so_o that_o the_o sweetness_n and_o

the_o wort_n to_o become_v of_o a_o red_a martial_a colour_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o cool_a the_o water_n be_v when_o you_o put_v in_o the_o malt_n the_o pale_a or_o more_o venerial_a will_v the_o colour_n of_o your_o wort_n be_v which_o be_v the_o best_a colour_n of_o the_o two_o for_o all_o ale_n that_o do_v look_v clear_a and_o white_a be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o that_o which_o have_v a_o high_a martial_a red_a colour_n and_o in_o some_o part_n of_o england_n there_o be_v such_o ale_n make_v which_o be_v much_o like_v but_o this_o commendable_a white_a colour_n depend_v also_o upon_o the_o well_o make_v of_o the_o malt_n viz._n in_o the_o fuel_n and_o degree_n of_o the_o fire_n they_o dry_a or_o fix_v it_o with_o for_o if_o the_o heat_n be_v too_o strong_a or_o fierce_a or_o if_o the_o egress_n or_o regress_n of_o the_o air_n be_v hinder_v or_o any_o other_o accident_n happen_v of_o the_o like_a nature_n than_o such_o malt_n will_v make_v ale_n and_o beer_n to_o look_v of_o a_o reddish_n martial_a colour_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v commend_v though_o some_o ignorant_o cry_v it_o up_o for_o the_o predominant_a quality_n in_o all_o sort_n of_o corn_n stand_v in_o the_o white_a and_o all_o the_o pure_a water_n and_o sweet_a body_n of_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o predominant_a quality_n of_o venus_n therefore_o the_o more_o gentle_a mild_a and_o natural_a the_o preparation_n be_v from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n the_o more_o wholesome_a and_o balsamic_a will_v the_o ale_n be_v if_o the_o malt_n be_v dry_v with_o too_o hot_a or_o fierce_a a_o fire_n whence_o the_o colour_n happen_v to_o the_o ale_n it_o show_v violence_n do_v to_o the_o essential_a spirit_n which_o also_o happen_v in_o brew_v when_o the_o malt_n be_v put_v to_o the_o water_n too_o hot_a or_o by_o overmuch_o boil_v of_o the_o wort_n which_o be_v not_o commendable_a in_o ale_n for_o good_a ale_n may_v be_v make_v with_o little_a or_o no_o boil_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v not_o much_o reason_n for_o the_o much_o boil_a of_o any_o sort_n of_o drink_v make_v of_o malt_n except_o you_o design_n to_o keep_v it_o a_o great_a while_n for_o the_o boil_a of_o ale_n do_v cause_v a_o too_o great_a evaporation_n of_o the_o volatile_a spirit_n and_o balsamic_a virtue_n which_o will_v not_o endure_v the_o harsh_a fire_n for_o this_o cause_n strong_a wort_n will_v waste_v and_o evaporate_v as_o much_o in_o quantity_n in_o one_o hour_n as_o small_a shall_v in_o three_o and_o more_o beside_o boil_v these_o liquor_n destroy_v their_o mild_a gentle_a

and_o fierce_a the_o original_a quality_n become_v and_o appear_v more_o external_a but_o so_o long_o as_o the_o pure_a volatile_a spirit_n and_o sweet_a balsamic_a body_n predominate_v the_o strong_a

this_o nation_n do_v which_o do_v but_o waste_v it_o in_o quantity_n and_o make_v it_o worse_o in_o quality_n so_o that_o it_o become_v hot_a in_o operation_n and_o a_o friend_n to_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o stone_n every_o one_o know_v or_o may_v know_v by_o experience_n that_o beer_n heat_v the_o body_n more_o than_o ale_n the_o reason_n be_v the_o balsamic_a virtue_n in_o beer_n be_v in_o part_n destroy_v by_o boil_v so_o that_o it_o become_v more_o like_o a_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v keep_v long_o and_o because_o of_o its_o last_a most_o people_n imagine_v it_o the_o best_a which_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n for_o they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o best_a sack_n draw_v off_o by_o distillation_n into_o a_o spirit_n be_v better_a to_o drink_v than_o the_o sack_n be_v whereas_o i_o think_v the_o contrary_n be_v know_v to_o every_o body_n of_o common_a sense_n the_o near_a you_o bring_v any_o thing_n to_o its_o original_a by_o destroy_v the_o

to_o such_o a_o height_n that_o it_o may_v keep_v not_o but_o that_o the_o hop_n do_v help_v to_o heat_v the_o body_n and_o cause_v the_o stone_n and_o other_o disease_n but_o not_o pure_o and_o
