A11769	The philosophers banquet Newly furnished and decked forth with much variety of many severall dishes, that in the former service were neglected. Where now not only meats and drinks of all natures and kinds are serued in, but the natures and kinds of all disputed of. As further, dilated by table-conference, alteration and changes of states, diminution of the stature of man, barrennesse of the earth, with the effects and causes thereof, phisically and philosophically.

Barley doth To which is answered that Beanes are of nature more windy than Barley and because they are of a more grosse and compact substance therefore more hardly altered than Barley which is more thinne and easie Wherefore saith Isacke according to Galen by decocting of Beanes we lose not their windinesse but by strong seething we something diminish it 3. Next is demanded why the eating of Figges breedeth Lice To the which is answered that although figges of themselves soone putrifie and corrupt yet have they a property to present all inward corrupt humours they find in the body to the uppermost part of the skinne and out of such humors are Lice ingendred although otherwise sometimes by sweaty and unshifted linnen betweene the skinne and that alone as the two parents without any other materials ingendred to which effect one merrily jesteth upon a lousie shifter in this Epigram as followeth By want of shift since Lice at first are bred And after by the same increas'd and fed I cannot see why Crambo should have many Since that is sure he shifts as much as any Yet Auicen thus farre commendeth figges that they cause a good colour in the face by driving the blood to the outermost part of the skinne 4. Next is demanded why wine being drunke after any rotten fruit tasteth bitter To the which is answered that from the fruit is derived a certaine bitternesse which remaineth upon the tongue which being mixed with Wine maketh it of a bitter tast Next is demanded whether new Hony be better than old To the which is answered that it is otherwise with Hony than with Wine because the newest Hony and the oldest Wine is ever the best and the reason is because the nature of Wine is moyst but the nature of Hony dry the experience whereof may be taken in medicine where those having dry bodies are moystned with Wine as those that are moyst and phlegmaticke are dryed with Honey 5. Next is demanded why oyle in the top wine in the middle and hony in the bottome is ever best to begin with the last first It is answered because that honey which is best is waightier than the other and so sinketh downe to the bottome and therefore in a vessell of honey that in the bottome is ever the best 6. But in a vessell of wine the middle because the bottome thereof is thickned with Lees and the top is troubled with ayre whereupon the husbandmen knowing it not sufficient to keep it in a close house mine and digge deepe to lay it in the ground so to remove it from the ayre as much as they can by which it is so manifestly hurt that it is scarce conserved in a vessell halfe full and therefore that in the middle removed from these inconveniences is the best 7. But that oyle which remaineth in the top of the vessell or in a vessell halfe full is both the best and bettered thereby because the ayre entring into it dries up the vacuous and superfluous humour wherein it lyes so making it both of better taste and quality 8. Next is demanded why oyle sometimes is frozen but wine more seldome it is answered that in oile there is a cause of congelation being glutenous and thicke which in wine there is not being of a more liquid and strong vertue 9. Next is demanded why Vinegar being that it is most cold is never frozen seeing that the coldest things are most apt thereunto It is answered because Vinegar is the most liquid amongst all other humours and the most piercing and tart which like the sea being alwayes respersed with his owne bitternesse doth never freeze Next is demanded why pepper and mustard doe gnaw the outward skin and hurt the stomacke To the which is answered being opposed unto the outward skin it worketh thereupon in his full vertue and nature which is to corrode and gnaw but being descended into the stomacke the force thereof is abated through the quality and nature thereof and so ceaseth in that effect Of the dangerous Clymactericall yeares and dayes of a Mans life EVery seventh yeare throughout a mans whole life is a Clymactericall and dangerous yeare likewise the 9. and 63. yeare which old men uery hardly escape There are likewise in the yeare three dangerous Mundayes to beginne any businesse to fall sicke or undertake any journey viz. The first Munday in Aprill which day Cain was borne and his brother Abel slaine Second Munday in August which day Sodom and Gomorah were destroyed The last Munday of December which day Indas was borne that betrayed Christ. Of the Excellencie Vertue and nature of Stones THe Turcoyse-stone if the wearer of it bee not well changeth his colour and looketh pale and dimme but increaseth to his perfectnesse as he recovereth to his health with which our Poet thus accordeth in his comparison As a compassionate Turcoyse that doth tell By looking pale the wearer is not well Many other precious Iemmes there are that lose their vertue and splendor worne upon the firger of any polluted person and therefore lewd and uncleane livers such as defile their bodies with women never adorne themselves with these dissenting Iewels which would blush at their shame and bettay their suburbs A rich investure saith one they are but of small use in our dayes hardly meeting with a finger that spoyles them not Like wise that there is both excellent beauty and vertue in these as in other of that kind may appeare in the care which Moses had to ad●…rne the vesture of the high Priest with 12. Iems which also Ezechiel and S. Iohn in his Apocalips have remembred in which there were not onely beauty and colour but marvellous effect In the end of August the Moone increasing there is found in the Swallowes belly a stone of excellent vertue for the cure of the falling sicknesse and which drives up the thin and glutinous humors whereupon it is chiefely ingendred There is likewise found in the head of an old Toad a stone very precious against all inflamations and swellings as bytings of venemous beasts poysonings and such like Likewise there is sometimes found in the head of a Carpe a stone that stancheth all bleeding at the nose A Direction for Study and Art delivered by a Gentleman to his Sonnes for their securer election and choyce wherewithall shewing briefly his opinion what studies are most painefull yet least pr●…fitable what contrariwise of most worth to be imbraced or vanity to be rejected FIrst for Divinity the highest best and primary election in the world though it be not thy profession let it be thy study knowing that if ignorance of the lawes of a temporall King cannot excuse how much more in this superiour degree and offence shall it be nullified and because all other art and study in the world is vaine that is not by some relation intended to this knowledge and practice Secondly for Law if thou
