yet_o such_o a_o quantity_n as_o be_v not_o ad_fw-la vasa_fw-la as_o if_o satiation_n be_v the_o usher_n of_o disease_n corruption_n and_o mortality_n which_o i_o suppose_v differ_v very_o much_o from_o the_o sense_n of_o galen_n that_o be_v to_o prescribe_v a_o pondus_fw-la or_o straight_a weight_n and_o measure_n of_o nutriment_n to_o all_o temper_n and_o such_o a_o weight_n not_o to_o be_v

to_o pious_a thought_n and_o exercise_n than_o his_o twelve_o ounce_n will_v be_v better_o understand_v and_o little_o blame_v but_o in_o a_o physical_a sense_n can_v stand_v with_o the_o principle_n of_o art_n for_o hypocrates_n and_o galen_n both_o will_v tell_v he_o disease_n be_v cure_v by_o contrariety_n inanition_n by_o fast_v must_v be_v cure_v by_o repletion_n in_o feed_v and_o this_o inanition_n may_v be_v extreme_a or_o not_o extreme_a and_o then_o no_o constant_a pondus_fw-la ought_v to_o be_v observe_v but_o if_o i_o understand_v those_o worthy_n then_o thus_o i_o explicate_v their_o doctrine_n in_o this_o point_n and_o so_o will_v leave_v the_o jefuite_n to_o his_o own_o order_n as_o for_o the_o quality_n of_o aliment_n that_o it_o be_v homogeneal_a pleasant_a and_o

not_o without_o much_o discretion_n for_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o physician_n be_v most_o see_v in_o his_o election_n of_o aliment_n in_o quality_n answer_v the_o temper_n of_o the_o body_n for_o though_o a_o disease_n must_v be_v cure_v by_o his_o contrary_n yet_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o body_n must_v be_v preserve_v by_o its_o own_o simile_n as_o heat_n by_o heat_n and_o moisture_n by_o moisture_n but_o the_o degree_n whether_o more_o or_o less_o intense_a be_v judicate_v by_o nature_n and_o to_o be_v order_v by_o the_o physician_n but_o this_o be_v a_o paradox_n to_o vulgar_a practiser_n who_o argue_v false_o upon_o a_o true_a ground_n for_o when_o hypocrates_n say_v contraria_fw-la contrarijs_fw-la curantur_fw-la they_o like_v a_o ignorant_a jury_n will_v run_v altogether_o upon_o contrary_n both_o in_o cure_v and_o also_o in_o nourish_v according_a to_o my_o simile_n make_v no_o difference_n between_o honesty_n and_o dishonesty_n or_o contrary_a and_o contrary_a it_o be_v true_a contrary_a remedy_n must_v be_v and_o be_v most_o rational_o administer_v in_o affect_n of_o the_o body_n because_o a_o crooked_a stick_n must_v be_v bend_v as_o far_o the_o other_o way_n to_o make_v it_o straight_o according_a to_o aristotle_n but_o if_o contrary_n shall_v be_v adhibit_v to_o a_o harmonious_a temper_n it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o discord_n and_o conflict_n in_o nature_n as_o for_o example_n in_o a_o hot_a and_o moist_a temper_n to_o use_v a_o cold_a and_o dry_a diet_n therefore_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o the_o quality_n of_o aliment_n ought_v to_o be_v most_o observe_v but_o for_o quantity_n that_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o free_a choice_n of_o nature_n because_o natural_a choice_n be_v never_o ultra_fw-la capacitatem_fw-la recipientis_fw-la but_o to_o speak_v more_o full_o to_o lessius_fw-la who_o in_o a_o religious_a way_n dispute_v principal_o for_o temperance_n yet_o so_o severe_o that_o i_o must_v tell_v he_o as_o a_o physician_n the_o father_n of_o our_o art_n prefer_v excess_n so_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o excess_n before_o such_o temperance_n and_o of_o two_o evil_n the_o least_o for_o they_o lay_v it_o down_o canonical_o that_o all_o affect_v of_o plenitude_n or_o fullness_n be_v safe_o for_o the_o body_n than_o disease_n of_o emptiness_n and_o i_o apprehend_v much_o reason_n and_o variety_n of_o reason_n in_o this_o axiom_n first_o because_o universal_a evacuation_n be_v soon_o effect_v than_o repletion_n second_o because_o accident_n of_o various_a form_n can_v be_v avoid_v for_o they_o be_v infinite_a and_o the_o least_o affliction_n fall_v upon_o a_o extenuate_v or_o lessiate_n body_n for_o want_v of_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o excrementitious_a humour_n to_o move_v in_o

one_o which_o he_o call_v humidum_fw-la continuans_fw-la and_o from_o this_o continuate_a humidity_n proceed_v a_o unction_n of_o part_n for_o otherwise_o they_o will_v be_v altogether_o dry_a and_o

continuation_n of_o part_n and_o be_v easy_o resolve_v because_o of_o its_o tenuity_n so_o be_v not_o the_o oleaginous_a because_o of_o its_o crassitude_n so_o that_o where_o a_o proportion_n of_o excrementitious_a humour_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o severe_a diet_n be_v want_v in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n both_o disease_n and_o medicine_n must_v needs_o be_v more_o powerful_a over_o the_o fix_a
