ANger is the beginning

emptying rest and motion sleeping and waking inspiration and expiration and the like could not subsist amidst these opposite subalter nations if they were not bounded and regulated by due order of succession to fit and convenient times that they might not clash interfeere and encroach upon each others priviledges due times and proprieties If heat exceeds the radical moisture dryes up the spirits evaporate and the body withers If cold the faculties are torpid and benum'd the spirits being frozen up to a cessation from their duties If moisture prevails the spirits are cloged suffocated and drowned in the chanels of the body If siceity and dryness the organical parts are stubborne unpliable and uncapable of their regular motions and due actions the vitastreams being drank up that should irrigate refresh and supple them Were the body alwaies taking in and sending nothing forth it would either increase to a monstrous and vaste magnitude or fill up suffocate and stifle the soul were it alwaies in excretion and emission the body would waste away and be reduced to nothing Nor is the receiving in of any thing sufficient and satisfactory to the body for its preservation but that which is appointed by nature proper and sutable nor emission or ejection of any thing but that which is superfluous and unnecessary to be retained If sleep prevailes contrary to the Law of nature the body in a lethargic soporiferous inactivity stupefied and senseless lies at the gates of death If watching exceeds the limits transgresseth ●nd steals away the due time for sleep the faculties are debilitated and enervated the spirits tyred worn out and impoverished If inspiration were constant without intermission the body would puffe up and be blown like a bladder If expiration were continual the soul and spirits would soon quit their habitation and come forth If alwaies exercised in motion the body would pine and weare away if alwaies at rest it would corrupt and stink There is a rule therefore proportion measure and season to be observed in all the requisite supports and auxiliary helps belonging to our preservation and by how much or often any of these necessary alternative successions are extravagant and irregular exceeding the bounds and limits prescribed by nature justling out the successive appointed action duty or custom from its seasonable exercise and due execution by so much is the harmony of nature disturbed vigour abated and duration shortned by those jarrs discords and encroachments The thwarting and crossing of nature in any thing she hath enjoyned either in the substance or circumstance is violence offered to nature and is destructive more or less according to the dignity or quality of the thing appointed For nature was not so indifferent in the institution of th●se duties and customes that they might be done or not done or so careless and irregular to leave them at your pleasure when and how or to be used promiscuously and preposterously without order ●t the liberty of your will fancy and occasions for as you may see in all other creatures exactness of rule method and constant order impressed upon and radicated in their natures by which they act alwaies sutable regular and constant you may not imagine so choice and exquisite a peice as man to be left without a law and rule to guide and steer him in the necessary actions concerning life and that he should rove in uncertain inconstant unlimited quantities times orders manners and the like but is bounded and restrained upon penalties and forfeitures of being well being and long being to the nice and strict observance of these lawes and customes necessary for the tuition of life and defence of humane frailty As moral good actions are placed in a mediocrity between two vitious extreams so natural actions and auxiliary requisites conservative of life have their golden meane digression from which on either side leads to ruin and destruction Too much sleep or too little too much meat and drink or too little to much rest or too much motion too much air or alwaies close pent up too great excretions or too long retentions too much heat or too much cold either of the extreams lead to the gates of death And as nature hath not appointed any thing or every thing to be food but this and that so likewise not at any time to be received not in any quantity after any manner prepared or in what order you please but proportionable suteable and convenient As there is variety of dispositions and inclinations of minde agreeing with and liking one thing but disagreeing resisting and disliking another so is it in the variety of bodies and food one body is of this constitution temper and appetite will sute and agree well with this meat and disagree with another for if all meats were convenient for all bodies to be used promiscuously without choice how comes it to pass the antipathy resistance and abhorrency of some bodies against some particular meats and this not from a fancy and conceipt but radicated in the constitution that if it be eaten though unknown shall produce Fluxes vomitings swoonings and such like effects here is manifested the opposition disagreement and distance between this constitution and this kind of meat which being so great that the dislike and discordancy appears presently other disagreements which are in a lower degree of opposition do not manifest themselves immediatly yet they produce ill effects in the body plus minus pro viribus which discover themselves gradually at times and seasons and occasions If you acknowledge the former you must admit of the latter the reason is á majori ad minus As sleep is appointed by nature to refresh the spirits and repair lost strength so the time for sleep is appointed and limited not when you please the Sun that glorious light was not made for you to sleep by nor the night for sports and revells but for rest Nature does not only command what to be done but when how much how long after what manner in what order the modification Circumstances and requisite qualifications as well as the thing it self are to be regarded And therefore by a diligent inquisition and curious speculation into the workes of nature you may as much admire the manner of preservation government order weight and measure regular vicissitudes alternations and successions as the excellency and contrivance of the things themselves in their creation and generation Whatever is appointed by nature as necessary for conservation and support of being though never so good yet if it be unseasonable out of course immoderate in quantity quality or duration alters the property and Intention of nature converts good purposes to bad effects We say every thing is best in its own kind and of continuance in its own Element and nature is most cheerful vigorous and durable in the course and method of her own injunctions but being put by thrust out of her own way is not of long duration the birds cannot live in
