VVisheth hearts desyre THe Christians VVoorshypfull Syr which vse to trauayle toward Ierusalem And also the Mahomettes which wander toward theyr holy place Mecha which is the buryall plotte of theyr Aduocate and false Prophete Mahomet Vse to carrie with them Scrips for their prouision of victualles and other furniture And where those Pilgrymes carry seuerally but one in my Perigrination I carried two the one for my victuals and the other to keepe such bookes as were giuen me b●●he way for charitie And now of late I chaunced to turne ouer my Papers amonge the which I found this little Dialogue concerning Phisick and Phisitions writtē in the Castlyn tongue by a learned Gentleman called Pedro Mexia who sometime was Chronicler to the late Emperour Charles the fifth And then calling to memory the varietie of mans inclynacion how some are enclined and haue delight to refresh werinesse in reading conferring with notable writers other some haue great pleasure in comfortable Musick and others in the conuersation of faithfull and louing freends And where I am certayne that your recreation is often times among bookes and especially in reading of trauailers woorks as well by land as Sea Yea and your owne person hauing passed the Occean Sea I may boldly say with no great pleasure yet your Woorshippe dooth not repent you thereof I therfore am now the more bolder to offer this little pamphlet vnto you Praying your woorship to accept the small gift and to remember the poore olde woman who offered two mites her gift was small but yet with an exceeding good hart and will and the Almightie graunt your gentle hartes desire Your Woorships to commaund T. N. ❧ The Argument of the Dialogue TWo learned men Gentlemen met by chaūce the one of them speaketh much euill of Phisitions and holdeth opiniō that neither Phisition nor Arte of medicine ought to be but y t men should be cured with vse and experience The other doth commend also and defend bothe Medicine Phisitions And last of all the matter is decided by a learned man called Maister Velasques verie notably FINIS Interlocutores ❧ Iasper Bernardo Don Nunio Master Velasques Iasper IT should seeme that we espyed the one the other by our comming out and méeting at one season Bernardo Now truely you say well But whether wander you Iasper If you commaund not other wayes I was determined to goe visite Don Nunio and to kéepe him company for one howre for as yet he is weake of his infirmitie past and goeth not out of hys doores Bernardo By my froth and I came from home with the same intent Iasper Many times it doth so happen the will of two men to moue vnto one thing being a sunder in diuers places yea the one to remember the other at one instant in such wise that it shoulde séeme the mindes to vnderstand eche other Bernardo By the spirituall partes it is no maruell though in some thing wée are like Angels who vnderstand without speaking and communicate their conceytes the one with the other Iasper How so euer it be sith God mooued vs both at one time to méete in a good howre be it and let vs goe together to make our visilation Bernardo Let vs goe through the next stréete for this is pestered with the Marchauntes workes Iasper You say well but looke what a fayre fronte he hath buylt to his house certenly of late the building in this Cittie of Ciuil is greatly mended for within these ten yéeres their buildings are most bewtifull toward the stréete with many faire wyndowes of diuers fashions Bernardo Troth it is ye and manye auncient houses are reedified and although euery one can not doe as he would yet truely y e amendment is great But in one thyng I sée it not and that is in their low buildings for very fewe builde higher then one story whervpon the houses remaine moyst and of small maiestie And therefore straungers which come from Barselona and other Citties where their buildings are of thrée stories high can not away with ours nor yet the buyldings of this Cittie content them Bernardo You say troth but it were not wisedome to comply with bewty and brauerie and to commit notorious hurt bothe to health and life in this countrey it is not conuenient to build high and it hath been bothe aduise discretion not to doo so for naturally the situation of this Citie is hot and moyst and to resist y e heate is a principall remedy the ayre is fresh which ordinarily runneth in the Sommer it is therefore néedefull that y e houses be open not very high to be visited with the ayre and for this cause our auncestors vsed this building for certainly the high buildings are more hotter than the low and more vnholsome in Sommer season for want of aire as we know some that are troubled with this defect also it is necessarie in this place the Edifices to be lowe for remedie of the great moysture that both stréetes and houses may be visited of the sunne and the ayre so that if the houses and Edifices héere in this Cittie were high they shoulde be more cold moyst in wynter and more hotter in Sommer By meane whereof very vnholsome for the moysture is so great that alwayes wee must procure that the sunne haue entraunce into all places of our houses if it were possible al day long the which could not be if the houses and lodgings were high And also the cold here is not so great to consume the moysture as it is in Castillia other partes and where great cold is yet the heate of the sunne is necessarie although in Sommer it be great to consume the ouer much moysture And therefore I beléeue that our forefathers vsed to this ende to make the stréetes brode as nowe the most are yea and in our daies shades and penthouses were commaunded to be taken away for that purpose where by a notorious commoditie and health hath followed Bernardo Truely your reason is certaine and naturall although some times I haue mused thereon yet I was neuer so well satisfied as now I am and I thinke hytherto the same respect hath bene and if it had not it is iust that it be héereafter But it séemeth vnto me that high Chābers are not good lodging nor yet néedful for this place in the winter which is not colde and the heate of Summer excéeding hote As for experience noble men which haue high houses doo seldome dwel in them for those causes alleadged but rather kéepe them to lay corne in and for lodging
