others latter according to their complexion runneth thorow all these spaces so the sangineans beare their age better than the rest who become sooner old Seing then the body doth change the temper according to the course of the yeares It is needfull to diversifie the dyet and because I am to speake of infancie heereafter passing it I will first treate of the bairnly age Of bairnly age Bairnes are of a very good temperature hence it is that they agree better with the spring than any other season because of the temperate air as also with temperate meates and seeing their body by the softnesse and raritie of it is much subject to dissolution they haue neede of much foode otherwise their bodies in place of growing shall decrease and diminish as witnesseth Hipp. they should not sleepe so much as infants but being stronger they ought to vse exercise more than they this is the tyme wherein they should bee instructed both in liberall and mechanick artes that thereby both the body and mynd being coupled Cupids darts get no entrie for they should flee all violent exercise and Venus games because they hinder the grouth of the body and being subject to bleeding they ought to eshew everie excesse whereby the body is made hote stryving to keepe a mediocrisie in all things This is evill keeped by these who pamper their bairnes bellye with spiceries and strong drink which so dryeth that some of them can never bee quenched Of Youth Young men being of complexion hote and dry should vse a dyet cold and moist for this cause wee see they are most wholesome in the winter because it is contrare to their bilious temper they should shun all heate either in the air or meate as garlick oynions mustard pepper ginger and all other suchlike also all strong drink as wine aquavitie rosa solis and the like or violent exercises because they procure a fever sorenesse of the head and troubleth the spirit in this age men are meetest for any charge in publick or warfare This is the tyme most proper for marriage for bairnes procreate of bairnes or old men are commonly infirme either of body or of mynde but begotten in the flower of the age when the body and spirit are at the best are found to bee most able for any businesse for Venus if it be moderate doth not hurte thē as other ages by reason of the force of their members yea they are by it made more gallant and lustie Of middle age Men of middle age ought to keepe a more temperate dyet than the former not declining so much to cooling things because the heate of youth is past so a temperate aire temperate meate taken in lesse quantitie than before because the body hath left growing also moderate in exercise imploying better the spirit than body flying all griefe and sadnesse because that age is most subject to melancholy they fall readily in agues phrenesies pripnenmonies pleurisies cholere dysenterie and other such like diseases bilious through abundance of bile gathered in the youth and according as their naturall force diminisheth and old age approacheth they beginne to find a shortnesse in the breath to presse them for the preveening of these they should keepe a mediocrisie in their dyet betweene youth and age Of old age Old men should striue to correct their cold and dry complexion by hote and humide dyet and therefore flying all coldnesse in the aire keeping them by a fire-side hote meates of good and easie digestion are best as capons hennes pigeons partridges veill and muttoun soft new laide egges and such like cheere fishes are not for them spices as ginger cannell mustard should bee much vsed by them they must beware of overcharging their stomack with much meate for they may readily by this meanes chock their naturall heate being now but small it is better to eate often and little especially they who are decreeped for they are like lampes in the which the light is almost extinguished which must be interteined by a gentle effusion of oyle because much at once will suffocate it and too long with-holding will procure the evanishing of it strong wine rather old than new is fittest for such and therefore it is called their milk it is granted to them to sleepe alittle after meate chiefly in the sommer because they are commonly troubled with night-watching by reason of some byting vapours arysing from one abundance of a salt flegme in them they should keepe themselues free of all the violent passions of the mynde chiefly of chagrin and melancholy living joyfull and mirry rejoycing all their senses with pleasant objects their eyes with the varietie of pleasant flowers and diverse colours carying still some pretious jewels in their ringes and among others the saphere the emrode because the greene or violat doth conserue the sight best of any Their eare with the musicke of voyces and instruments intertaining them also with pleasant discourses flattering them in all and contradicting in nothing the smell with muskue sweete waters and muske bals and the taste with some daintie dishes But this too curious caring for a Carion will seeme tedious to the view and troublesome to the eare of our young wenches who looking to the Mammon rather than the Man and the wealthie estate more then healthfull body hath tyed themselues to bee helpers and vpholders of the chivering and shaking bones of an old man but pleasantlie pulling them downe the poore man consenting yea assisting to his fall these wagges hungrie for young fresh meate longe to laufe vnder a mourning weede in beholding the piafing cariage and hearing the intysing yea rather ravishing discourse of a young Bravado of whose words they reape greater contentment than ever they did of the old mans deeds A just reward for dotting Loue. Of the seasons As the vicissitude of the night and the day proceeds from the motion of the Sunne from the East to the West in 24. houres space even so the change of the seasons commeth from his course from the West to the East about the twelue signs of the Zodiack making thereby the dayes longer or shorter By this approaching or retiring of himselfe in his comming and going the Air receiueth many divers alterations being subject to receaue the impressions and influences of the heavenly bodies for the Sunne heateth and dryeth by his heate the Moone in the contrare cooleth and humecteth or maketh moist so when the day is long the Air is hote and dry and when it is short it is cold and moistie but when they are of equall length the Air is temperate by the equall force of both alike communicate to it The Ancients from the course of the Sunne in the Zodiack did remarke soure speciall changes in the Air which are made by the qualitie inequalitie of the nights ●nd dayes therefore they haue divided ●he yeare in foure seasons The Spring the Summer the Harvest and Winter the which are divyded by two equinoxes the

swelling about the privie members a rednesse of the face the mouth of the matrix open and straight and in the entrie of it there is found a lumpe about the greatnesse of an egge a shivering through the whole bodie and in end a certaine liquor issueth foorth first in little quantitie then more larglie and lastly there floweth a watrie blood if it bee a femall chylde but pure if a man child There are three things to bee remarked about the tyme of the birth The first that the travelling woman be not burdened with too much meate for thereby the naturall heat is drawne from the matrix to the stomack Secondly that the Mid-wyfe doe not handle roughly the bairn-bed of these who are long in travelling but gentlie their hands being oynted with oyle Thirdly that the woman bee not troubled till the foresaid signes appeare especialy the straightnesse of the mouth of the matrix and the eshuing of these humidities These appearing let her so be placed that her loins bee free le●ning most on her back and shoulders her heeeles bee bowed inward toward her buttoks being lifted vp and that her thighs bee so farre asunder as possible they can Thus let her leane rather than sit holden vp behind by a chaire or the bed-side Others standing do bring foorth their birth leaning to their hands fastned to an hold This tyme if the air of the chamber bee too warme it must bee refreshed by opening of the windows least they faint And when the paine returneth the mouth of the matrix being open let her who is travelling containe her breath keeping her mouth and nose fast and presse downe-ward with all her power the Midd-wyfe softly with her hands helping her by pressing also from the navell downward desisting when the matrix beginneth to close least they travell in vaine The childe should bee received by the mid-wife in a soft small and warme linnen cloath and that quyetly least any of the members should bee hurt This done the woman should bee laide in her bed in a darke chamber with her thighes asunder least the issuing of the blood should bee stopped which ought to bee dryed vp by the oft changing of warme clothes least either by the sharpe byting or the vnwholesome stinking it grieue the delyvered It were not amisse to ty a band of two hand-breadth about her navell both for the furthering of her purgation as also from hindering of inflations from cold wind which readily then entereth through the emptinesse of the matrix which thereafter breedeth a suffocation of the same after her delyverie a drink of the best in little quantitie will doe no harme let her absteane two dayes from flesh vsing the while caddels aleberries and such like easie digestable meates and nourishing for the repairing of her forces eshewing all suddaine charging of the stomack either by the great quantitie or diverse qualitie of the meate for her weake force doth not admit that rather come by degrees to the former dyet shunning all suddaine repletion after such an evacuation it is better to giue them oft and little eight dayes being past they may eate more largely espec●ally if they nourish their child They should absteane from all kind of herbes fruites and legums that is pease beanes and the like If after her deliverie her paine continue the Mid-wyfe shall search the bairne-bed if there bee any congealed blood in it as sometimes there is which being taken away the paine cea●eth or any lumpe of flesh applying also to her navell the secundines or after birth yet warme the skinne of a Ramme hote from the sheepe aliue When they come to nourish the child they should cause sucke the milk of their breast the first two or three dayes by some old woman that the old vnwholsome milk may bee drawne foorth and better supplie the place of it twentie dayes is the terme of purgation after a man child and fourtie after a f●mell the which space they should keepe themselues free of the societie of man yet these that are of strong constitution will purge sufficiently in eight or ten dayes Of the government of the Child So soone as the child is brought foorth his navell should be cut about three finger broad from his bodie and then tyed in the lovest part and sprinkles in the vppermost parte where the incision was made with the powder of bol armen sanguinis draconis sarcocolle myrrh and cumini and then covered bounde vp with a little wooll dipped in the oyle of Olives afterward see it bee washen in warme water by the Nurse and oynt againe with the foresaid oyle his nostrils should be softly opened and his pricke looked if the passage be open his eyes tenderly wiped his fundament rubbed and handled for the procuring of the passage to the clensing of the stomack from a part of the menstruous blood lurking in it drawne in while hee was in his mothers belly the which staying and not cast out presently after his birth or at the farthest the first day doth cause either death or the epilepsie It is remarked that this issuing before the birth doth foretell a parting with child For the purging of the child from this black blood it is good before hee sucke any to giue him of hony halfe an vnce of fresh butter two dragmes with halfe a scruple of myrrhe and when the halfe part of the navell falleth away it should be sprinkled againe with the powder of burnt leade and afterward wrapped in warme clothes The member are to be stretched foorth and made straight by the warme hand of the Nurse for now they are ready to receaue any crooke or hurte The child should bee washen twyse a day in the winter with hote water and in the summer with warme neither must hee bee longe keeped in the water then the body becommeth hote and red Keeping his nose and eares free from the droppes being washen and dryed let him be laide straight with his armes close to his sides and his feete together in warme fyne linnen then put in his craddle with his head and vpper parts highest that the humiditie may fall from the head to his lower parts layed on his back for that is the surer then on either of the sides least his soft bones and lightly tyed by weake bindings vnder the burthen of the whole body doe bow or bee disjoynted but so soone as his teeth doe come foorth hee may bee accustomed to ly now on the one side now on the other aboue his head in the craddell their should bee placed small twigges or wands bowed covered with clothes or in place of these a little canopie whereby the wavering and inconstant motion of the childs eyes may bee restrained and corrected least by long looking too earnestly to any thing a-side he become glyed or by inconstant wavering to and fro of still winking and moving ringle sight for a frequent turning of the tender eyes turneth in end to a habite which can not be
