leisure_n to_o turn_v to_o sourness_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o putrefaction_n 13_o but_o in_o extreme_a old_a age_n such_o a_o preparation_n of_o meat_n be_v to_o be_v make_v as_o may_v be_v almost_o in_o the_o middle-way_n to_o chylus_n and_o touch_v the_o distillation_n of_o meat_n they_o be_v mere_a toy_n for_o the_o nutritive_a part_n at_o least_o the_o best_a of_o it_o do_v not_o ascend_v in_o vapour_n 14_o the_o incorporate_n of_o 〈◊〉_d and_o drink_n before_o they_o meet_v in_o the_o stomach_n be_v a_o degree_n to_o chylus_n therefore_o let_v chicken_n or_o pertridge_n or_o 〈◊〉_d or_o the_o like_a be_v take_v and_o boil_v in_o water_n with_o a_o little_a salt_n then_o let_v they_o be_v cleanse_v and_o dry_v afterwards_o let_v they_o be_v infuse_v in_o must_v or_o ale_n before_o it_o have_v do_v work_v with_o a_o little_a sugar_n 15_o also_o gravy_n of_o meat_n and_o mincing_n of_o they_o small_a well_o season_v be_v good_a for_o old_a person_n and_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o they_o be_v destitute_v of_o the_o office_n of_o their_o tooth_n in_o chew_v which_o be_v a_o principal_a kind_n of_o preparation_n 16_o and_o as_o for_o the_o help_v of_o that_o defect_n namely_o of_o the_o strength_n of_o tooth_n to_o grind_v the_o meat_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o may_v conduce_v thereunto_o first_o that_o new_a tooth_n may_v put_v forth_o that_o which_o seem_v all_o together_o difficult_a and_o can_v be_v accomplish_v without_o a_o inward_a and_o powerful_a restauration_n of_o the_o body_n second_o that_o the_o jaw_n be_v so_o confirm_v by_o due_a astringent_n that_o they_o may_v in_o some_o sort_n supply_v the_o office_n of_o the_o tooth_n which_o may_v possible_o be_v effect_v three_o that_o the_o meat_n be_v so_o prepare_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o need_n of_o chew_v which_o remedy_n 〈◊〉_d ready_a and_o at_o hand_n 17_o we_o have_v some_o think_v also_o touch_v the_o quantity_n of_o the_o meat_n and_o drink_v that_o the_o same_o take_v in_o large_a quantity_n at_o some_o time_n be_v good_a for_o the_o irrigation_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o both_o greas_n feast_n and_o free_a drink_n be_v not_o altogether_o to_o be_v inhibit_v and_o touch_v the_o operation_n upon_o the_o aliment_n and_o the_o preparation_n of_o they_o thus_o much_o the_o operation_n upon_o the_o last_o act_n of_o assimilation_n 8._o touch_v the_o last_o act_n of_o assimilation_n unto_o which_o the_o three_o operation_n immediate_o precede_v chief_o tend_v our_o advice_n shall_v be_v brief_a and_o single_a and_o the_o thing_n itself_o rather_o need_v explication_n than_o any_o various_a rule_n 1_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o body_n be_v endue_v with_o some_o desire_n of_o assimilate_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v next_o they_o tuis_fw-la the_o rare_a and_o pneumaticall_a body_n as_o flame_n spirit_n airt_n perform_v generous_o and_o with_o alacrity_n on_o the_o contrary_a those_o that_o carry_v a_o gross_a and_o tangible_a bulk_n about_o they_o do_v but_o weak_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o desire_n of_o assimilate_v other_o thing_n be_v bind_v in_o by_o a_o strong_a desire_n of_o rest_n and_o contain_v themselves_o from_o motion_n 2_o again_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o that_o desire_v of_o assimilate_v be_v bind_v as_o we_o say_v in_o a_o gross_a body_n and_o make_v 〈◊〉_d be_v somewhat_o free_v and_o stir_v up_o by_o the_o heat_n and_o neighbour_a spirit_n so_o that_o it_o be_v then_o actuate_v which_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n why_o inanimate_v assimilate_v not_o and_o animate_v 〈◊〉_d 3_o this_o also_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o hard_a the_o consistence_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o more_o do_v that_o body_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o great_a heat_n to_o prick_v forward_o the_o assimilation_n which_o fall_v out_o ill_a for_o old_a man_n because_o in_o they_o the_o part_n be_v more_o obstinate_a and_o the_o heat_v weak_a and_o therefore_o either_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o their_o part_n be_v to_o be_v soften_v or_o their_o heat_n increase_v and_o as_o touch_v the_o malacissation_n or_o mollify_a of_o the_o member_n we_o shall_v speak_v afterward_o have_v also_o former_o propound_v many_o thing_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o prohibit_v and_o prevent_v of_o this_o kind_n of_o hardness_n for_o the_o other_o touch_v the_o increase_v of_o the_o heat_n we_o will_v now_o deliver_v a_o single_a precept_n after_o we_o have_v first_o assume_v this_o axiom_n 4_o the_o act_n of_o assimilation_n which_o as_o we_o say_v be_v excite_v by_o the_o heat_n circumfuse_v in_o a_o motion_n exceed_v accurate_a subtle_a and_o in_o little_a now_o all_o such_o motion_n do_v then_o come_v to_o their_o vigour_n when_o the_o local_a motion_n whole_o cease_v which_o disturb_v it_o for_o the_o motion_n of_o separation_n into_o homogeneal_a part_n which_o be_v in_o milk_n that_o the_o cream_n shall_v swim_v above_o and_o the_o whey_n sink_v to_o the_o bottom_n will_v never_o work_v if_o the_o milk_n be_v never_o so_o little_a agitate_a neither_o will_v any_o puterfaction_n proceed_v in_o water_n or_o mix_v body_n if_o the_o same_o be_v in_o continual_a local_a motion_n so_o then_o from_o this_o assumption_n we_o will_v conclude_v this_o for_o the_o present_a inquisition_n 5_o the_o act_n itself_o of_o assimilation_n be_v chief_o accomplish_v in_o sleep_n and_o rest_v especial_o towards_o the_o morning_n the_o distribution_n be_v finish_v therefore_o we_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o advise_v but_o that_o man_n keep_v themselves_o hot_a in_o their_o sleep_n and_o further_o that_o towards_o the_o morning_n there_o be_v use_v some_o anoint_v or_o shirt_n 〈◊〉_d with_o oil_n such_o as_o may_v gentle_o stir_v up_o heat_n and_o after_o that_o to_o fall_v asleep_a again_o and_o touch_v the_o last_o act_n of_o assimilation_n thus_o much_o the_o operation_n upon_o the_o inteneration_n of_o that_o which_o begin_v to_o be_v arify_v or_o the_o malacissation_n of_o the_o body_n 9_o we_o have_v inquire_v former_o touch_v the_o inteneration_n from_o within_o 〈◊〉_d be_v do_v by_o many_o wind_n 〈◊〉_d circuit_n as_o well_o of_o 〈◊〉_d as_o of_o detain_v the_o spirit_n from_o issue_v forth_o 〈◊〉_d therefore_o be_v accomplish_v slow_o now_o we_o be_v to_o inquire_v touch_v that_o inteneration_n which_o be_v 〈◊〉_d without_o and_o be_v effect_v as_o 〈◊〉_d be_v sudden_o or_o touch_v the_o malacissation_n and_o 〈◊〉_d of_o the_o body_n the_o history_n 1_o in_o the_o fable_n of_o restore_a pelias_n to_o youth_n again_o medea_n when_o the_o feign_a to_o do_v it_o 〈◊〉_d

perhaps_o some_o 〈◊〉_d be_v require_v to_o this_o matter_n but_o the_o cut_v into_o 〈◊〉_d be_v not_o needful_a 2_o notwithstanding_o this_o cut_v into_o piece_n seem_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o be_v useful_a not_o 〈◊〉_d a_o knife_n but_o with_o judgement_n for_o whereas_o the_o consistence_n of_o the_o bowel_n and_o 〈◊〉_d be_v very_o divers_a it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o inteneration_n of_o they_o both_o be_v not_o effect_v the_o same_o way_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o cure_n design_v of_o each_o in_o particular_a beside_o those_o thing_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o inteneration_n of_o the_o whole_a mass_n of_o the_o body_n of_o which_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o first_o place_n 3_o this_o operation_n if_o perhaps_o it_o be_v within_o our_o power_n be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v do_v by_o bath_n unction_n and_o the_o like_a concern_v which_o these_o thing_n that_o follow_v be_v to_o be_v observe_v 4_o we_o must_v not_o be_v too_o forward_o in_o hope_v to_o accomplish_v this_o matter_n from_o the_o example_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v do_v in_o the_o imbibition_n and_o maceration_n of_o inanimate_v by_o which_o they_o be_v intenerate_v whereof_o we_o introduce_v some_o instance_n before_o for_o this_o kind_n of_o operation_n be_v more_o easy_a upon_o inanimate_v because_o they_o attract_v and_o suck_v in_o the_o liquor_n but_o upon_o the_o body_n of_o live_a creature_n it_o be_v hard_a because_o in_o they_o the_o motion_n rather_o tend_v outward_a and_o to_o the_o circumference_n 5_o therefore_o the_o emollient_a bath_n which_o be_v in_o use_n do_v little_o good_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a hurt_n because_o they_o rather_o draw_v forth_o than_o make_v entrance_n and_o resolve_v the_o structure_n of_o the_o body_n rather_o than_o consolidate_v it_o 6_o the_o bath_n and_o unction_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o the_o present_a operation_n namely_o of_o intenerate_v the_o body_n true_o and_o real_o ought_v to_o have_v three_o property_n 7_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a be_v that_o they_o consist_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o their_o whole_a substance_n be_v

it_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o which_o we_o note_v before_o that_o the_o discharge_v of_o the_o watery_a humour_n which_o be_v quicken_v by_o the_o motion_n and_o the_o wind_n preserve_v the_o oily_a humour_n in_o his_o be_v which_o otherwise_o will_v fly_v out_o together_o with_o the_o watery_a humour_n also_o in_o some_o mountain_n where_o the_o air_n be_v very_o pure_a dead_a carcase_n may_v be_v keep_v for_o a_o good_a while_n without_o any_o great_a decay_n 13_o fruit_n as_o pomegranate_n citron_n apple_n pear_n and_o the_o like_a also_o flower_n as_o rose_n and_o lily_n may_v be_v

careful_o and_o to_o bury_v they_o within_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o will_v be_v as_o good_a not_o to_o bury_v they_o in_o the_o earth_n but_o to_o sink_v they_o in_o the_o water_n so_o as_o the_o
