sundry other partes of this Realme and forraine Countries Albeit where the Nurce hath milke sufficient it is not to be vsed so often for as Clemens Alexandrinus writeth there is nothing pleasanter or that better nourisheth than the mothers milke Yet this I woulde were vnderstoode that children bée very ayt to out breathe and to dischest the moistures humors and iuyces of the body both by reason of tendernesse of habite and abundaunce of heate as Galen declareth Therefore a plentifull trade of diet is due vnto them which thyng olde Hyppocrates plainely proueth saying that such as haue much heate naturall doth néede much nourishment other●ise the body is consumed Howbeit Gelius hath noted forth of Varro that the vse of too much meate and sléepe doeth make children dull witted and slender of stature The common Prouerbe therefore did not arise wythoute a good grounde that saith that Inough is as good as a feaste And this as I think néedeth not so strictly to be vnderstood that it should only be referred to nourishment and rest but aswell to watche and exercise and in a worde of all other thinges néedefull fully and briefly in my thirde Booke of Bathes aide expressed CHAP. XXV Where infants should sleepe or reste and what commoditie is in a Cradle The discommoditie of vehement rocking immediately after the childe hath satisfyed hymselfe Of the benefite of sleepe with the causes therof And howe Aristotle was therein deceiued THe place for children to reste or sléepe in beste is a Cradle bycause that therof may grow a thréefold commoditie that is sléepe sooner obtayned the parties throughe rocking better exercised and the infant safer from suche hurte preserued as by hauing it in bedde often hapneth And this is the fourtéenth precept by Gordonius to a Nurce appointed Howbeit with Eucharius I iudge that immediatelye after sucking violente rocking to be hurtfull least that thereby the childe shoulde bée prouoked to caste vppe hys milke againe or throughe ouer sturring the body it doe corrupte it in the stomacke or make it passe too soone into the ioyntes and vrine wayes causing as saith Montanus the stone grauel goutes Of 〈◊〉 likewise there is a thréefolde necessitie the firste 〈◊〉 disgest nourishment the second that the substance 〈…〉 and spirit wasted by waking might be restored 〈…〉 it might quiet the instruments of senses wéeried as ●●●roys declareth for if sléepe were not the sense perseuer●●●● should perish and so consequently the life séeing that the 〈◊〉 suffereth of the sensitiue as Aristotle affirmeth that he 〈◊〉 of the feeler Wherefore it is necessarie that sléepe should follow watche bycause rest followeth mouing and it is rest that preserueth the liuing creature for as the Poete sayeth That thing that wanteth rest interchangeable Can not abide and alwayes be durable For rest recouereth the strength enféebled it also renueth the members weakened Agayne O Sleepe thou rest of liuing things of Gods accepted eke Thou peace of minde whome care doth flee whome weeried bodyes seeke Thou cherishest their weeryed limmes and doest repayre their payne c.
