HEALTHS NEW STORE-HOUSE OPENED Offering to Familiar Use Such Supplies AS ARE Most wanting and Really needful to Humane Frailty By HEALTH'S Student LONDON Printed by Jane Clowes and are to be sold by John Sweeting at the Angel in Popes-head-Alley over against the Royal Exchange in Corn-hill 1661. To the Reader IS it uncivil to advise a Reader possibly it iâ— And to little purpose to perswade an unbiaâ—s'd eâ—tertainment of these friendly Aydes It being the unhappineâ—s of most times to put off the acceptance of â—ew Diâ—coveries till 't is too late and to leaâ—e the benefit to be enâ—â—red by the next Generation Jealouâ—ie eâ—vy fear of lâ—ss being of â— too strong for Truth aâ—d if these were not or could be silent yet Wiâ—â—-it-Self iâ— apt to dâ—oll away their use A Scoff is a leight thing but often sadly paid â—â—r the Minâ— highly 〈◊〉 daâ—â—ing to stoop to the embrace of what it hath 〈◊〉 despiâ—ed though it would save its liâ—e â—o câ—oâ—e is every evil followed â—â—th its oâ—â— punishment A meâ—ry heart therefore joyn'd with Prudence coâ—â—iders â—riâ—â—â—â—y beâ—ore it â—udges thinks thrâ—â—e before iâ— spedâ—s and though apt to jest yet is most watchfull against inâ—ury to any thing deeming due châ—â—kâ— â—s bondage Why should it be Imagin'd amid'st so much weakness that nothing's wanting or that things more pertinent cannot be supplyed Or why things proposed in nature of friendly and powerfull assistance should not be so indeed These are tendered to familiar use such as the weakest Women and smallest Children may safely take In such a case as this then what cause is there of suspicion but to tast and try and so put all past all dispute Which may be done also without Charge so confident is the present keeper of the Store-house which now stands always open for entertainment of the Ingenious and to make good its Title Read on therefore without scruple and be satisfied with the reality of its provisions and of the Integrity of The Servant of your health W. W. HEALTHS NEW Store-House Opened THough the youngest and the strongest days of life are the times to lay in for and to secure a long-lasting and healthfull Constitution and the times of health to provide against the frequent assaults of sickness and distemper yet to most of either Sex the voyce of Experience seldome seems better then a mockery Tell them of their daily wast and expence of spirit of their continual generating within them the seeds of sickness discases they hear you not they are for this Gamesom sport and t'other wild and violent Exercise and if taken ill do as others use to do recover with difficulty with losse of blood and Spirits boast of danger escaped little or nothing regarding how deeply their nature is thereby wounded and so remain as unapt for counsel as before And yet as it is the surest way to eternal bliss to remember thy Creator in the days of thy Youth so is it the most certain way to the happiness of this Life which rests very much in mans health and cheaâ—fulness to give diligent heed betimes to those advices wch respect the well ordering of the Body both as to Diet Physick and Refreshment and to endeavour after so much skill at least as to be able to distinguish between pure and impure proper and improper unto man who being of Creatures next unto the Angels both in his intellects and constitution ought to aim at so effectual and so refined a Diet that the faculties of his Soul may be accommodated with so exquisite a Spirit and so clear a Body that there may be a perfect Harmony in the whole Man And as these Considerations are most needful iâ— time of Youth in which the most are apt to set light by all things which most concern them so are they not to be neglected by those of riper years who commonly are so much wedded to their customary wayes that if they keep themselves but any thing hearty and free from pain deem their Diet good and themselves Well enough though they are either sad and melancholy fearful superstitious fretful passionate covetous violent and revengeful All which may proceed and doth commonly from the impropriety of Spirits in what they feed on or use for helps and might be otherwise without difficulty to the much more comfort of themselves and their relations Nor are the Elder sort unconcerned herein it being too much from that scrupulosity which dwells in them and their distrust of all new Discoveries which makes the younger sort so unapt to give ear or credit to Counsels of this nature What say they have we lived to these years and do we not know what 's good for our selves and this too though they aâ—e full of infirmities of which by new Aids they might be discharged forgetting also that no mere man was ever yet too old to learn But hence it is That although both Diet and Physick in their best and largest forces do but weakly perform their offices the first of Sustentation the other of Restoration and that mans health which is so great a part of his happiness is so weakly defended that the strongest are soon brought upon their knees whil'st the weak and sickly in their first illness the time which makes or marrs the cure betaking themselves to dull putrid and burning helpers for want of what 's safe and kindly instead of help betray themselves to further mischief Yet all Tenders of farther improvement either to Diet or Physick or other Ayde though never so needful pretious and effectual are hardly and sowerly entertained and under such regardlesnesse as if there were nothing but delusion in men or an impossibility of adding any advancement to the imperfit Art of Health Through which unpreparednesse aversnesse and indisposition to receive with gladnesse and gratitude the productions of the studious it is That although the defects in Physick Diet c. are so manifest that the most Skilful professe they believe the far better part lies undiscovered yet to make any considerable supplies it sufficeth not by Study Labour and Industry to produce things excellent and necessary except all possible means be likewise used to make their virtues and effects publickly and throughly understood and that in such sort as to convince all scrupulous gainsayers These and such like are the causes of the present Opening of this new Store-house of Health the close keeping thereof being of little more advantage then a Candle set under a Bushel The new Aids therein presented are in an allowed and Physical sense Spiritual untainted friendly and powerful as being proposed for an immediate assistance unto that natural spirit of man by which the Soul is united to the Body and which maintained in its right estate and condition sustaineth all its infirmities so as this aâ—d is proportioned for supply of those Forces and Powers which both Diet and Physick hath hitherto but faintly furnished for though properly they are neither Physick nor Diet
