meal_n and_o merry_o and_o not_o eat_v or_o come_v to_o their_o meat_n with_o a_o trouble_a or_o meditate_a mind_n for_o that_o will_v pervert_v the_o concoction_n and_o cause_v the_o meat_n to_o corrupt_v in_o the_o stomach_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o retract_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o head_n the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o give_v the_o meat_n due_a preparation_n for_o the_o stomach_n which_o be_v the_o exact_a chew_v of_o it_o in_o the_o mouth_n for_o the_o well_o chew_v of_o the_o meat_n be_v a_o great_a furtherance_n to_o the_o well_o digest_v of_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o they_o great_o err_v that_o eat_v over_o greedy_o and_o snatch_v up_o their_o meat_n hasty_o because_o it_o be_v both_o hurtful_a and_o indecent_a the_o three_o be_v that_o they_o reside_v not_o in_o the_o chair_n of_o intemperance_n that_o be_v prolong_v not_o the_o time_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v superfluous_o but_o only_o sit_v so_o long_o at_o meal_n as_o that_o they_o may_v give_v unto_o nature_n a_o competent_a refection_n for_o the_o ingestion_n of_o too_o much_o meat_n be_v burdensome_a and_o injurious_a to_o all_o the_o body_n but_o if_o they_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n exceed_v in_o eat_v and_o drink_v they_o must_v make_v amends_o with_o a_o follow_a parcitie_n as_o if_o the_o dinner_n shall_v be_v large_a than_o ordinary_a let_v the_o supper_n be_v the_o less_o or_o none_o at_o all_o for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n albeit_o very_o careful_a of_o his_o health_n which_o do_v not_o in_o this_o now_o and_o then_o transcend_v his_o limit_n whether_o the_o eat_n of_o one_o or_o of_o diverse_a sort_n of_o meat_n at_o a_o meal_n be_v alike_o profitable_a for_o the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v a_o common_a receive_a opinion_n that_o the_o eat_n of_o diverse_a sort_n of_o meat_n at_o a_o meal_n be_v for_o such_o as_o desire_v to_o live_v in_o health_n utter_o hurtful_a and_o to_o be_v reject_v for_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o disparity_n of_o their_o nature_n and_o

this_o assertion_n and_o also_o the_o weak_a and_o valetudinarie_a state_n of_o many_o other_o that_o use_v to_o feed_v on_o diverse_a dish_n at_o one_o time_n contrariwise_o he_o that_o will_v consider_v and_o look_v meal_n into_o the_o diverse_a constitution_n and_o fabric_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n shall_v find_v that_o variety_n be_v much_o more_o agreeable_a unto_o it_o

that_o in_o this_o case_n condemu_v variety_n seem_v also_o to_o reprove_v nature_n especial_o because_o it_o put_v off_o a_o fastidious_a tenderness_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o excit_v the_o

that_o the_o use_n of_o one_o sort_n of_o meat_n at_o a_o meal_n be_v in_o its_o nature_n more_o profitable_a and_o more_o safe_a in_o so_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o natural_a action_n of_o the_o

ground_n stand_v the_o controversy_n to_o be_v decide_v in_o so_o much_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o both_o opinion_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o good_a force_n there_o must_v a_o mean_a and_o rule_n be_v find_v out_o that_o may_v direct_v when_o and_o how_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o that_o be_v one_o or_o d_o vers_fw-la sort_n of_o meat_n at_o a_o time_n may_v be_v in_o use_n and_o necessary_a for_o neither_o always_o neither_o to_o every_o one_o neither_o of_o every_o sort_n ought_v variety_n or_o singleness_n of_o meat_n to_o be_v exhibit_v for_o the_o manifestation_n therefore_o and_o solution_n of_o controversy_n this_o matter_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o meat_n that_o in_o nature_n and_o concoction_n differ_v little_a and_o some_o much_o such_o as_o in_o nature_n and_o concoction_n differ_v little_a may_v at_o one_o time_n be_v eat_v of_o they_o that_o be_v in_o health_n so_o they_o be_v not_o immoderate_o inge_v for_o too_o much_o

offensive_a because_o their_o digestive_a faculty_n be_v weak_a scarce_o able_a to_o digest_v one_o simple_a kind_n of_o meat_n wherefore_o it_o can_v be_v grant_v that_o meat_n which_o in_o

but_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v near_o of_o one_o substance_n although_o of_o differ_v kind_a nor_o much_o disagree_v in_o quality_n there_o be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o they_o may_v at_o once_o be_v concoct_v because_o the_o same_o heat_n and_o same_o time_n only_o will_v suffice_v for_o the_o concoction_n of_o they_o for_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o variety_n in_o meat_n be_v hurtful_a arise_v from_o the_o great_a inequality_n of_o their_o substance_n or_o from_o the_o contrariety_n of_o quality_n or_o from_o the_o facility_n of_o corruption_n of_o one_o with_o the_o disficultie_n of_o

therefore_o may_v be_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o eat_v only_o of_o one_o sort_n of_o meat_n at_o a_o meal_n then_o of_o sundry_a sort_n that_o in_o substance_n and_o quality_n differ_v much_o

way_n to_o clarify_v it_o be_v to_o put_v unto_o it_o a_o little_a water_n and_o so_o to_o boil_v it_o and_o scum_n it_o so_o honey_n long_o as_o any_o froth_n arise_v for_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o

which_o will_v be_v in_o three_o or_o four_o hour_n after_o the_o meal_n it_o be_v good_a to_o drink_v one_o meet_o large_a draught_n of_o white_a or_o rhenish_n wine_n or_o stale_a beer_n or_o of_o
