to behold but very profitable if well managed in order to which I shall briefly give directions If you have no Stock of Bees but must be obliged to purchase them you must be sure to carry them gently in a Sheet between two Persons on a Pole in the Night-time that they be not disturbed nor their Combs disordered or put out of frame and the best time to remove them is in April not carrying them from a pleasant to an unpleasant place least through that dislike they leave you nor must you open them after you have placed them in your Garden till you find them at rest which you may do by the Cessation of their noise and humming and be sure so to place them that the Hives mouth may stand towards the Rising-Sun observing that the Air and Waters as well as Herbs Trees and Flowers about them be very wholsom for those they most delight in are Rosemary Cassia Thyme Savory Sage Violets Lavender Balm Marjoram wild Thyme Saffron Bean-flowers Mustard-seed Flowers Pinks Melilot Poppies Roses c. And those they dislike which often makes them leave their Masters and wander are Wormwood wild Cucumbers Cornels Elms Spurge Lawrel Southernwood and all bitter Herbs and Trees delighting most in Valleys near pleasant purling Streams and the best Honey is extracted from Thyme the second best from wild Thyme and the third from Rosemary though there is good Honey where none of these grow In the beginning of April the Bees look out and begin to work and if they stand in a pleasant place they will work so cheerfully that they will afford Honey three times in the Summer viz. about the latter-latter-end of May the latter-latter-end of July and the latter-latter-end of August if the Summer be temperate tho' if you would have them subsist well in Winter to take their Honey in May and July is sufficient If it happen that by reason of a young Brood the Hive be over-charged which by their clustering about the mouth of it and their great noise of humming you may plainly discern prepare a new Hive in readiness rubbed with sweet Herbs and observe the coming forth of the young Bees for several days from eight of the Clock till twelve in the Morning lest coming out on a sudden and taking the Wing they bid you farewel and if they delay to come forth you may with Galbanum and Rosin drive out the whole Stock and if there happen to be two Master Bees they will divide and settle apart and so you will have opportunity to Hive them and in Winter if their Stock of Honey fail you must put in Honey Sugar Raisins Figgs c. gently with a slite Cane and cover them with warm Housings of Straw and they will greatly encrease to your Profit Lessius his Directions for a right Course of preserving Health DIvers have written on this Subject but they charge Men with so many Rules so much Observation and Caution about quantity and quality of Meats and Drinks about Sleep Air Exercise Blood-letting Purging and the like that it makes it perfect Slavery to perform what they enjoyn And Men on the other hand will please their own Mind and eat of every thing they best like to their fill so that neither Precepts nor Observations signifie any thing at all for matter of benefit Hereupon they bid adieu to all Physicians or Counsel and leave all to Nature eating perhaps two or three times a day without restraint in measure or quality of Foods but as their Appetite leads them on so fall to business instantly neither can they be perswaded to Purge at fitting Seasons or before Diseases oppose them supposing all well when they feel nothing to the contrary Here upon their Bodies in time are filled with ill Humours which are increased by length of time and become putrified and of a malignant Temper so that upon every light occasion of Heat or Cold Wind or Weather extraordinary Labour or any other Excess they are inflamed and break out into mortal Sickness and Diseases Many People beside my self have found benefit by the Observations following which consists in a Right ordering the Dyet and in a ●ertain Moderation of our Meat and Drink such a moderation I mean as brings Strength and Vigour both to Mind and Body So that what is here intended will furnish Religious Persons with such a way and manner of Living that they may with ●ore Ease Cheerfulness and Alacrity apply themselves to the Service of the Great God for it is scarcely to be believed what Alacrity and inward Consolation they find that addict themselves to Sobriety What is meant by a Sober Life and what is a fit measure of Meat and Drink I call that a Sober Life or Dyet which sets bounds both to Meat and Drink so that a Man must not Eat nor Drink more than the Constitution of his Body allows with reference to the services of the Mind and this I term an Orderly Regular and Temperate Life or Diet this will also reach unto Care in ordering all other things such as immoderate Heat or Cold overmuch Labour and the like through Excess whereof there grows any Inconveniency in Body Health or disturbance in the Operation of the Mind Now this measure is different according to the diversity of Constitutions and Ages For one kind of proportion belongs to Youth another to Consistency a third to Old-Age the Whole and the Sick have also their several measures as also the Phlegmatick and the Cholerick because that in these Constitutions the Nature and Temper of the Stomach is very different Now the measure of the Food ought to be exactly proportioned as near as may be to the quality and condition of the Stomach and that measure is exactly proportioned which the Stomach hath such power and mastery over as it can perfectly concoct and digest in the midst of any Employment that is of Body or Mind which withal sufficeth to the due nourishment of the Body I say in the midst of any Employment of Mind or Body because that a greater measure is requisite to him that is occupied in Bodily Labour and continually exercising the Faculties of the Body than to him that is always in Studies Meditation and other like Exercise of the Mind For half so much commonly serve● their turn who are imployed in Study and Affai●… of the Mind as they that apply themselves to Bodily exercise tho' equal Age and Temper might otherwise perhaps require an equality in both their Dyets Now the difficulty lies in finding out this measure the non-observance whereof causes Catarrhs Coughs Head-ach pains in the Stomach Fever and the like which many People will hardly believe but lay the fault on Wines ill Air Watching too much pains-taking and other like outward causes but questionless they are in the wrong for its a want of a due measure in Eating and Drinking that causes these before-named Distempers and its impossible that any one certain measure should be
