A63797 Healths grand preservative: or The womens best doctor A treatise, shewing the nature and operation of brandy, rumm, rack, and other distilled spirits, and the ill consequences of mens, but especially of womens drinking such pernicious liquors and smoaking tobacco. As likewise, of the immoderate eating of flesh without a due observation of time, or nature of the creature which hath proved very destructive to the health of many. Together, with a rational discourse of the excellency of herbs, highly approved of by our ancestors in former times. And the reasons why men now so much desire the flesh more than other food. A work highly fit to be persued and observed by all that love their health, and particularly necessary to the female sex, on whose good or ill constitution the health and strength, or sickness and weakness of all [cropped]sterity does in a more especial manner depend. By Tho. Tryon. Tryon, Thomas, 1634-1703. 1682 (1682) Wing T3182; ESTC R219417 19,602 25

for_o man_n be_v a_o prince_n in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o he_o be_v contain_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o all_o the_o inferior_a creature_n for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o 〈◊〉_d can_v not_o be_v

he_o have_v a_o simile_n with_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v thereby_o render_v capable_a to_o be_v wrought_v on_o by_o every_o inferior_a thing_n he_o shall_v suffer_v his_o desire_n to_o

on_o and_o awaken_v its_o likeness_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o moses_n command_v that_o unclean_a beast_n shall_v not_o be_v eat_v that_o the_o human_a nature_n may_v not_o mix_v or_o incorporate_v in_o its_o self_n the_o beastial_a quality_n for_o every_o individual_a man_n have_v essential_o in_o he_o the_o true_a nature_n and_o essence_n of_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n and_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n as_o also_o of_o all_o herb_n and_o fruit_n stone_n and_o mineral_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o can_v be_v think_v of_o for_o if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o then_o man_n will_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v wrought_v on_o by_o all_o neither_o will_v the_o various_a sort_n of_o food_n agree_v with_o he_o or_o nourish_v he_o the_o wise_a ancient_n understand_v this_o and_o that_o every_o thing_n have_v power_n to_o attract_v unto_o itself_o such_o matter_n out_o of_o all_o thing_n as_o be_v capable_a to_o nourish_v its_o own_o body_n therefore_o in_o those_o day_n the_o eat_n of_o flesh_n be_v not_o in_o such_o reputation_n as_o of_o late_a year_n it_o have_v be_v especial_o as_o it_o be_v in_o england_n who_o do_v make_v it_o their_o chief_a food_n all_o vegetable_n and_o fruit_n be_v in_o themselves_o of_o a_o clean_a simple_a nature_n and_o operation_n which_o be_v well_o prepare_v and_o temperate_o eat_v have_v only_a power_n to_o waken_v their_o simile_n in_o the_o body_n and_o sense_n as_o aforesaid_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o beast_n especial_o unclean_a beast_n be_v endue_v with_o all_o kind_n of_o beastial_a passion_n as_o anger_n revenge_n covetuousness_n love_n and_o hate_n which_o disposition_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o especial_o the_o blood_n do_v retain_v after_o such_o animal_n be_v kill_v and_o for_o that_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o beast_n be_v so_o strict_o forbid_v for_o the_o essential_a spirit_n dwell_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o in_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n lie_v hide_v all_o the_o disposition_n and_o inclination_n the_o creature_n be_v endue_v withal_o and_o therefore_o all_o sort_n of_o flesh_n that_o be_v permit_v to_o be_v eat_v be_v to_o be_v well_o purge_v from_o the_o blood_n and_o also_o this_o same_o blood_n be_v either_o to_o be_v consume_v by_o fire_n or_o a_o hole_n make_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o blood_n cast_v into_o it_o and_o cover_v that_o the_o wrathful_a spirit_n and_o vapour_n thereof_o may_v not_o defile_v the_o air_n which_o be_v continual_o breathe_v into_o our_o body_n for_o when_o any_o creature_n be_v kill_v the_o great_a pain_n and_o agony_n they_o endure_v do_v so_o powerful_o awaken_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o wrathful_a fire_n and_o also_o the_o internal_a poison_n which_o be_v the_o root_n of_o every_o life_n that_o the_o say_v fierce_a poisonous_a spirit_n seize_v the_o blood_n on_o their_o right_a fountain_n of_o pre●rvation_n so_o that_o the_o blood_n do_v not_o only_o contain_v all_o the_o natural_a disposition_n passion_n and_o inclination_n but_o also_o the_o awaken_v poison_n and_o irritated_a spirit_n which_o be_v violent_o stir_v up_o by_o death_n stroke_n for_o when_o the_o natural_a life_n be_v in_o danger_n the_o continuation_n of_o which_o be_v so_o sweet_a unto_o all_o creature_n and_o they_o do_v so_o unwilling_o part_v with_o it_o especial_o when_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o perfect_a health_n and_o strength_n what_o a_o strange_a fear_n and_o dread_n must_v needs_o attend_v the_o creature_n in_o this_o condition_n and_o how_o strong_o and_o violent_o be_v all_o the_o centre_n and_o power_n of_o nature_n stir_v up_o and_o than_o be_v awaken_v the_o revengeful_a spirit_n which_o do_v contain_v the_o blood_n for_o that_o be_v their_o habitation_n which_o in_o this_o agonous_n condition_n do_v often_o spread_v itself_o through_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o make_v the_o flesh_n look_v red_a but_o this_o be_v general_o draw_v back_o again_o by_o the_o draw_v away_o of_o the_o blood_n where_o the_o wound_n be_v make_v now_o if_o this_o blood_n be_v expose_v to_o the_o open_a air_n these_o fiery_a dark_a wrathful_a spirit_n do_v by_o degree_n evaporate_v and_o incorporate_v themselves_o with_o the_o air_n and_o so_o defile_v it_o and_o render_v it_o pernicious_a the_o very_a same_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o all_o other_o uncleanness_n and_o these_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n why_o the_o prophet_n moses_n command_v the_o blood_n either_o to_o be_v burn_v on_o the_o altar_n or_o bury_v in_o the_o earth_n though_o there_o do_v remain_v somewhat_o more_o to_o be_v say_v why_o he_o command_v the_o blood_n to_o be_v consume_v on_o the_o altar_n by_o fire_n which_o i_o shall_v forbear_v and_o speak_v of_o

as_o do_v communicate_v near_o such_o place_n as_o slaughter-house_n and_o the_o like_a and_o more_o especial_o those_o that_o be_v of_o kill_a employment_n those_o awaken_v wratchful_a spirit_n do_v
